  • (Quote) "Intelligent people", as you say, know the difference between "your" and "you're." So don't start quoting intelligence to me. YOU come back when you know the difference between the two words. And you are way…
  • Yeah, well ask those whose businesses depended on the Browns being in Cleveland that lost their business due to his greediness and see if they think he is a "great man." Don't think it didn't happen, because it did. He always claimed he h…
  • Modell was a worthless POS, and just because he is dead now doesn't somehow make him a saint. He was, without question, the worst businessman in the history of the world. He is the only guy in memory who could not make money owning an NFL team. E…
  • Not only do the Dems have a lock on on NY and Cal, but add the big states of Illinois, Pa., and New Jersey to it. The only big state the Republicans can take for granted is Texas. Don't get me wrong..I am going to vote for Romney. But I would nev…
  • I am still not following your logic. Based upon what polls do you see Romney winning those three toss up states? Realclearpolitics.com has Obama leading in Ohio and Florida, and trailing in NC. The one state that has shifted recently is Michigan.…
  • The latest Rasmussen poll had Romney up 48-43 in Texas, with the rest preferring a different candidate or undecided. Certainly Romney is favored to win Texas, but I would definitely say it is in play. California..no way in play. I guess I would h…
  • Oakland sure knows how to find pitchers. Parker, Milone, Griffin, and Straily are rookies and at present make up four of their starting five. Veteran Colon is the fifth. One thing to remember about Oakland, though...for whatever reason, they have…
  • I might not be able to help from a math standpoint, but I can help from an electoral standpoint. Remember...polling can be meaningless for a lot of reasons. First, one has to read the fine details to see who exactly was polled? is it the public a…
  • Pestano, who usually pitches in the 8th for Cleveland, has been even better than Perez. He struggled a bit yesterday, but did not give up a run. Joe Smith has become the 7th inning guy and has been very good as well. Until last year, he really ha…
  • 10 Houst (-6.5) 9 NW (+10.5) 8 Ok. St. (-3.5) 7 Iowa (+13.5) 6 LSU (+1.5) 5 Mich (-2.5) 4 Wisc (+6.5) 3 ND (+3.5) 2 Baylor (-9.5) 1 K. State (+7.5)
  • (Quote) Do you have some documentation of that? I can't remember having seen baseball rescind one of those PED suspensions...ever!
  • The fact that the second test was reportedly negative means nothing, as it was a different sample at least a couple of weeks after the first. Braun's best chance is to claim that the first test was "doctored".
  • There needs to be about 8 teams in the NBA. Same for MLB. 75% of the teams in both leagues have no chance to compete.
  • (Quote) Maybe so, but what was the line when Florida played OSU in the BCS title game? Or LSU against Oklahoma in 2002? You get my drift. The line really doesn't mean much.
  • (Quote) They lost by ten at Auburn. Not sure how Auburn ranked at the time, but they only lost two games all year.
  • Goats is right..it was LVA.
  • Is he still around? I remember him posting on SSB a few years ago and he sounded like a huge whiner.
  • And there is no chance Auburn beats Alabama? None? After what we have witnessed this past weekend, I would be in a wait and see mode.
  • Several years ago, when USC was loaded (Caroll was the coach), they had over a 40 point lead on Wash St. in the first half, and knelt on the ball deep in Wash St. territory at the end of the FIRST half. One of the oddest things I have ever seen.
  • (Quote) That would put a lot of one loss teams back into the picture, as well as Boise St. Hard to really say what would happen. I would think Boise would get the nod, but who knows?
  • (Quote) Huh?? Bama is the best team in the country, even though they lost at home? Why even play the games, then, if the results mean nothing? Just crown Bama as the national champ and be done with it. Next I will hear that the Phillies were th…
  • Kansas St. (+420) over Oklahoma.
  • Wow, your daughter went 4-2. Make sure to send me her picks next week...I am going to tail her!
  • Just to echo what Tommy has said...I go to the Rx, EOG, Roughing the Punter, and Covers, and if there has been any data in any of those forums disputing Bill's data, then I have just missed it.
  • (Quote) So, I guess what you are saying in the end is that you have nothing specific to rebut what Bill has said...clearly, you must not have the numbers to back up what you say.
  • So, how does what you say make Bill's data all wrong? Sounds like you actually agree with him.
  • Oh..no problem. Bill weighed in earlier and referred us back to his Sept. 14 thread about NFL teasers, where he showed us, with very strong historical data, that the road favorites crossing the 3 and 7 were a terrible subset to bet into. Thanks.
  • (Quote) Which is exactly what Bill the Cop pointed out. And of course, the past can not necessarily predict the future, but that is what we have to go by.
  • (Quote) I second (or third) that motion. The historical data looks pretty strong to me.
  • If I remember right, Bill the Cop (who knows more about teasers than any human should) pointed out that those 7.5-8.5 favorites should be teased only if they were the home team. I think he also showed that away underdogs of 4.5-6.0 were also a good …
