Bill Simmons writes a big column whining about Belichick going for it. I don't think I've ever read a worse misuse of statistics.

His second argument is basically this: "Because the Colts had already scored on long drives twice in that quarter, it was much less likely that they would do it again, because nobody does that kind of thing three times." I kid you not.

True story- haven't read a Simmons column in about two years. Good years. LOFTY years.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #1263 on:** November 21, 2009, 02:15:56 AM »

Bill Simmons is actually the reason why I don't visit ESPN.com anymore. I'm not kidding either. I get ALL my sports information for other sources.

Packers fans can't even get away from Favre talk in Iraq, it seems. Iraqi detainees are taunting Wisconsin guardsmen about Favre.

Quote

"They know Favre by name," said First Lieutenant Tim Boehnen, who is from New Richmond, Wis.

"One of the big words they know now is shenanigan. They'll constantly talk about 'Favre shenanigans,' 'He's so good for the Vikings,' and 'The Packers have got to really feel bad about that one.' "

I am not disputing the numbers or the methods for achieving them. But by Monday night, based on various columns and message boards (as well as e-mails to my reader mailbox), you would have thought Belichick was a genius for blowing the game. He played the percentages! It wasn't as crazy as it looked! By this logic, Belichick also should have held a loaded pistol to his head on the sideline, spun the chamber and tried to shoot himself like Chris Walken in "The Deer Hunter." If those 1-in-6 odds came through and he succeeded, we could have said, "Hey, he played the percentages: 83.6666 percent of the time, you don't die in that situation! You can't blame him for what happened!"

FoC is writing his columns now?

That is excellent.

And the bickering between the Steelers fans is fucking pathetic. bionic and Spectral Glider are the only guys who I take serious there. harSon is a fucking disgrace to Steeler fans.

Actually, I shouldn't call it bickering. Yeah, its more Steelers fans against harSon.

I'm not worried- Willco's team has to perform, and we all know how that goes.

Plus, if Mandark hadn't forgotten about the league you would probably have lost this week.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #1300 on:** November 22, 2009, 10:26:29 PM »

If Mandark had payed attention I would not have taken so many risks with my team - ie I would have started Ward and Boldin, and won regardless

I'm sitting here watching the Bears/Eagles game and they show a replay of a dropped pass, but during the play the Eagle's player almost pulls off the Chicago's receivers pants. There was some serious cheek action going on.
