You’re welcome. As to the content of your post, these are really a separate breed of GOP compared to their small government cousins. Notice the name of the session

How do you not get yourself thrown out of these things? I think it’s amazing that you can actually sit there without flinging a chair.

If only the NFL could somehow make an annual profit, it might be able to afford its own stadiums without asking for public money.

He passed the citizenship test? That would probably put him in the top 10% of college football players.

This doesn’t look like the face of intelligent discourse to me. This looks like the face someone makes following a mind blowing orgasm, or right after a huge bowel movement. Or given his obsession over the subject matter...could it be both?

I see Trump spared no expense.

Sounds like these folks know how to party

anyone who accused the Pats of cheating is now cursed

I never said division games count for more than the rest of the games combined. But a single division win counts for more than a single non-division win when it comes time to calculate playoff standings.

It shows that not all games are the same. If they were the team with the best record would always get in ahead of the team with a worse record. That’s not the way it works.

Texas high school football just keeps assaulting refs...probably practiced that all week.

One of these teams made the playoffs last year. One did not. Clearly some wins count for more than others.

Points isn’t the metric. Wins is the metric. No one cares how many points you scored at the end of the season. It’s how many wins you had.

Someone did an in-depth analysis using model simulations

It could mean a win or it could mean a loss. It’s the volatility of the play, and the relatively few chances you get to try it that make things like ‘averages’ almost meaningless during the course of a single game. Even over the course of a season, the average of 40 or so attempts can easily sway 10% one way or the

Another factor I didn’t mention is penalties. I’m not sure how the rules work, but if you are going for 2 and aren’t allowed to change your mind, then a penalty is killer. Whereas on a PAT a penalty is no big deal.

If you succeed in 51% of your conversions you will end up with more points at the the end of the season than if your kicker hits 100%. But having more points doesn’t necessarily mean winning more games. With the odds basically a toss up, some games you’ll convert all attempts, some games none. Most coaches want to

As I said, football isn’t based on statistics like baseball is. You need to control as much as you can control so you can make better decisions. A 50/50 gamble for 2 looks a lot less appealing than 90+% chance to get 1, because you have no idea how many points your opponent is going to score, or how many attempts
