Yahoo! Sports Experts vs A Quarter: Round III

January 19th, 2008 · No Comments

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 […]

Yahoo! Sports Experts vs A Quarter: Round II

January 11th, 2008 · No Comments

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 […]

Yahoo! Sports Expert Chris Carter vs. A Quarter

January 6th, 2008 · No Comments

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 […]

Why Does The Media Always Seem To Overreact?

October 27th, 2007 · No Comments

I don’t really want to generalize, and I know the answer is ultimately to get people to read their columns.. because more readers means more advertising revenues… but I really have to say that I think Yahoo!’s Dan Wetzel went way too far in his column, No excuses for Rockies’ bush-league mistake. In it, […]

Your Official Guide To The World Series [If It Were Played By Mascots]

October 3rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

You know, I did this a while back for the NBA… predicted, or rather incorrectly predicted the NBA playoffs using the mascots to determine the winner of each round. It was such a rousing failure on so many levels that I thought I’d do it again.

Duck Tales: A Pattern Emerges

June 7th, 2007 · No Comments

First off, they weren’t the team I was pulling for but congrats anyway to the Anaheim Ducks and their Stanley Cup win which was watched last night by a total of 37 people. This year’s Cup Finals had such low ratings, that it lost out to “Build A Better Burger” on the Food Network. […]

Why I’m Rooting For Ottawa…

May 27th, 2007 · No Comments

I know its a little awkward coming from a San Jose Sharks fan, but I really don’t want to see the Anaheim Mighty Ducks win this year’s Stanley Cup. Well, maybe not so awkward considering the small rivalry between the Sharks and Ducks, but still, I’d much rather see Ottawa win the whole shebang.
As […]

The Sharks-Wings Series: Brought To Us By The Number ‘Two’

May 3rd, 2007 · No Comments

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 […]

Who’s Next?

April 20th, 2007 · 1 Comment

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.

The Official NBA Playoff Guide For People Who Know Nothing About Basketball

April 20th, 2007 · 1 Comment

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 […]
