Retire already Monte. You're overmatched.
-
Well there's no way they get shutout as an undefeated as their schedule hardens up right?
-
you don't read the Cubs GDTs, do you Fred's been talking to himself for the past 4 months or so in those threads. But now that you mention it, UMFan does go hysterically overboard (e.g. OMG FLYERS WIN GAME 3. SERIES OVER, HAWKS HAVE NO CHANCE!!!!")
-
That doesn't sound right. 6/7 while being #2 in the human polls (now #1 probably)?
-
also Raisin, lol. I didn't even know you guys were playing Cal (it's not on TV down here) until I saw the score on the crawler. Another potent offensive effort.
-
by at least 3 touchdowns. this success is short-lived, trust me. Oh, Zook is awful don't get me wrong. But Tim Brewster is the worst coach in a BCS conference by a country mile.
-
Even you don't think Illinois will lose to Minnesota.
-
Considering Martinez and James are still undefeated too they've gotta be at the top. Edit: I'd put Newton ahead of Dalton and Moore too.
-
lol UMadFan that is some sulleyish reverse trolling there. I don't believe for a second that you honestly think Michigan has one win left in them.
-
Ehh, he's just a guy to me. They said he was drafted for his defense, but he never stood out in any way to me on that end. he wasn't overly athletic, couldn't shoot and despite the fact that they wanted him to be the 2nd or 3rd PG, could never run the offense well enough to actually do that. He's looking good and if he continues playing like this he'll probably be the 12th man. John Lucas III sucks. Scal will be wearing a suit most of the season.
-
What's the deal with Kyle Weaver imb? Can this guy play? He's getting a look on the Bulls. I remember him being a glorified glue guy at Washington State and a good defender.

zomg Wall vs. Rose 2nite!!

Chris Williams is kind of a [expletive] isn't he? -
It'll be tough for Glanville to call those day games when he was up the whole night before raiding in World of Warcraft.

lolllllllllllll

http://www.basketballprospectus.com/products/pbp2010/pbp2010_chicagochapter.pdf There's the projection for the upcoming Bulls season. It's pretty optimistic. Also we're supposedly one of the teams interested in Dampier.

I believe Center Ice is on a free preview for the next couple weeks too.

Collins won't look as bad against a crappier team and a full week of practice. I expect occasionally effective mediocrity out of him which may be enough t o win. -
I'll just add that most of the material in the first book was abstracted from papers that passed peer review at the Journal of Political Economy, American Economic Review, and the Quarterly Journal of Economics. But mojo says the material can't pass muster and isn't worthy of inclusion next to Glenn Beck's new book in the current events section at Barnes and Noble.

You say that because you have nothing of substance to say and you're reflexively negative about absolutely everything. I'm not saying all the assertions made in the pages of Freakonomics or its sequel are correct (to the extent that there are flat out assertions instead of hypotheses), but you would be very hard pressed to find any serious research flaws that have been leveled against Levitt's work as an academic economist that weren't about the abortion paper. I mean you've already gone from calling it an abomination to entertaining but flawed in a matter of a couple posts...so I'm sure you just overcooked your initial statement as always.
-
That's nothing more than vague hand waving.
-
So the problems with the book Freakonomics can be attributed to the problems of its sequel? You realize Klein is talking about Super Freakonomics right? That came out just last year. 95% of the flak given to Levitt (who is the economist of the duo, the other author is just a journalist) is the position they took on geoengineering in Super Freakonomics and the assertion in Freakonomics that abortion reduced the crime rate in the US. Aside from those two positions (the geoengineering thing has almost nothing to do with economics, really) he's held in pretty high regard. The rogue economist label is nothing more than marketing and an acknowledgement that he doesn't work on macroeconomic issues which is the vast majority of what you hear in the media. It'd be impossible for a UChicago economist, the mothership of all academic economic thinking pretty much, to be "rogue."

Is there any interference there with where Phillips left his bat? That was a weird final play. Great moment though.
