You want to know how to sell a story Take a story about how three friends did blow with fentanyl in it outside in their friend's backyard and then died and put THREE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS FANS in the headline, as if there is a person in the city who isn't a Chiefs fan

What do you call three Chiefs fans frozen in the snow? A good start.

AndrewP posted:Thread on that whole Warren Sharp ref thing Okay, fair, he is a statistical outlier. But if you purposely choose to use that outlier, what does that do to statistical value? Isn't that still fishy? I forgot everything from probabilities and statistics in college so I need a little push in the right direction here.

I forgot everything from probabilities and statistics in college so I need a little push in the right direction here. He’s not an outlier. He’s presided over a lot of home-team losses (against the spread), but you’d expect to see a few refs with records as far from 50:50 as he is just from random chance. It is not evidence that he actually favors away teams. People are bad at understanding random distributions. They expect random sequences to “look random”, and they expect random distributions to be way “skinnier” than they actually are. If you flip a coin ten times, people will tell you that HHTTHTTTH is very likely but HHHHHTTHHH is very unlikely, but of course the odds of getting those exact sequences are exactly the same. While the overall odds of getting exactly 5 heads are higher than getting 8 or more heads, people will say that exactly 5 should happen most of the time while 8 or more should happen almost never; in reality the odds are 24.6% and 5.5%. To put it differently, if you have twenty people do 10 flips each, it would be pretty weird if you didn’t have at least one person with 8 or more heads or 8 or more tails, but people will still look at that person and wonder if they’re cheating somehow. Edit: I spent too much time on this not to post it even if it’s beating a dead horse

Play BG3 and immediately gain a better grasp of how hosed you are if you count on random chance.

kiimo posted:You want to know how to sell a story the whole thing sounds shady as hell, but yeah, those people definitely ODed "Jordan had absolutely nothing to do with their deaths. He does not know the timing or manner of their deaths, nor does he know how or when they exited his house," the attorney, John Picerno, said in a statement to CBS News. "He had no knowledge that they remained in his backyard or that they needed medical attention. Had he known, he certainly would have called for help. The last time he saw them was when they left his house, and he went to bed." Police said Willis was cooperative with detectives and, according to Picerno, Willis did not respond to family members who tried to get in contact with him because he was fast asleep. "Prior to being contacted by police, he did not receive any phone calls or text messages from friends or family members of the deceased," Picerno said."Two people came to his house; however, he did not hear them as he sleeps with air buds and a loud fan. One of those people, the wife of one of the deceased, tried to reach him via Facebook messenger; unfortunately, he did not see this message until after the police contacted him."

It's been 30 years for the 49ers, and granted it's been 70 for the Lions, but once you hit that point where most players in the NFL are younger than the last franchise victory, how much does it matter?

To say "it's been 30 years since we won a Superbowl and literally never for the other team but they won some things in the '50s before the league existed!" isn't as compelling as you think it is. Nobody gives a poo poo about anything before the AFL/NFL merger. Citing pre-merger championships is tantamount to making fun of said team because "lol it's basically ancient history"
