I went to school upstate. Not the best life choice from a geography perspective, but the one I was stuck with nonetheless.

I live in NYC. I’m from the area. I lived upstate for a while. Let’s make a deal - you don’t propagate the use of flip flops, and I won’t make fun of you for being a godless hippie with rancid feet with no respect for your surroundings.

Good read, but what I’m wondering now is what fraction of women athletes are on partially funded scholarships versus full scholarships. I realize the focus on this is the marginal cost (or gain) of adding a small sport, but now I’m finding myself looking for a clearer picture of how the bigger sports (which I would…

Well done. Opportunity Cost is the single most important economic term and it is never discussed enough, both in terms of money and in everyday life.

So I consult professionally on legal opinions and expert testimony in a STEM field, and without getting into the report content, here’s my two cents.

Well since I can’t edit my post anymore...
I went back to the report. The Wells commission only got one interview... The NFL — not the commission — interviewed the guy before that. The whole point of the commission is their investigation was designed to be independent of the league. It’s a bad look.

Five of the eleven balls tested were at or above the expected pressure for the weather conditions. However, the statistics are indisputable—there is less than a 2% chance that the difference between the pressure in the Patriots’ footballs and the Colts’ footballs can be explained by chance.

TL;DR - It says on page 12 of the report (emphasis mine):

Oh this is still great. Go find Samer on Twitter and tell him evil his garbage team stocked with false garbage idols is and always has been.

Wow, the NFL really does its homework when it comes to ball science. Can we get a statistical report whether Greg Hardy’s girlfriends bruises were +/- 2 standard deviations from the mean please?

RIP College Fund.

I hope American Pharoah wins the Triple Crown because I saw him run in the Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn, so if he wins it’ll be the horse racing equivalent of being able to tell people you saw the White Stripes in a bar back in 2000. A bar in Arkansas, no less.

When asked what would happen when the Raiders scored the designers commented that the question never really crossed their minds.

I’m guessing less Yakety Sax than Yakety Tuba

Is the Samer vs. Barstool Death Match going to be on PPV?

I would love to find someone to “date casually.” I would also love to drink a lot and not get a hangover. Which is to say, my post-divorce dating experience (which may have something to do with age range; I’m 45) is that everyone either wants a quick one time hook up, or they’re trying to determine as quickly as…

If you thin Harbaugh’s recreation of his strip ball baseball game was weird... I hate to think what you’d think of some of my games I played by myself:
