So for anyone not aware of what I’m doing this offseason - which you should because its consumed the majority of my recent posts - is I’m flipping a quarter and comparing it to Yahoo!’s NFL expert Chris Carter’s playoff picks. I chose Chris not to pick on him personally, but its his picks […]

A few days ago, I proved that my North Dakota quarter was better at predicting the Wild Card round than Yahoo! Sports expert Chris Carter. That was done post-games, so who knows, maybe it was tainted. To test, this week I’m flipping the coin in advance to see if my quarter can, once […]

You know, with the Chargers heading to certain victory against the Titans, I decided to look back and see how Yahoo!’s expert Chris Carter did at predicting the games. Well, here’s how he did: he was .500 on the weekend. Now, since I got an ‘A’ in my stats and probability class, I […]

A 2-2 series, all tied up after a 3-2 overtime victory last night by the Red Wings over the Sharks. Despite the fact that I would have loved, absolutely adored the Sharks taking a 3-1 lead and having the Wings with their backs to the wall, I can also stop to recognize that its […]

Right now it looks like its going to be the Ducks, unless the Red Wings can actually pull this out in Calgary, which I’m kind of hoping for just to have a Ducks-Canucks series that would make Dr. Seuss proud.

Okay, so basketball is not my sport. I understand it, I watch it, but unlike baseball, football, rugby, hockey and soccer I did not play it on a competitive level… so really I’m at a loss commenting on it at times. So rather then pretend I know who is who and make […]
