Frot Lesnar posted:Can someone explain his math to me? He's saying the Red Sox are a .522 team with Ortiz and a .302 team without them. If this sample set were over 10,000 games interlaced with and without Ortiz I would be inclined to agree. It's just a meaningless sample size on something that will converge super-slow.

The fact that there are about 20 MLS players who make more than the league minimum salary of the NFL, NBA, NHL or MLB shows where the US spends it's sports budget.

Hand Knit posted:Come on, don't leave us hanging. Presumably he's referring to whether or not the media generates popularity or whether it's simply responding to it. I would assume this is a nature vs. nurture type thing that the only people who argue the tail doesn't wag the dog at least a bit are purely being provocative. That said I'm not sure what's wrong with what Craptacular said as it was a super weekly worded statement.

Fag Boy Jim posted:This is just something I've always seemed to wonder about, but it seems like the NFL, out of all the original sports, is least concerned with it's own history. As far as they're concerned, if it was in the pre-SB era, it didn't happen. The early history of pro football in the US is actually real interesting, so this is just another thing to add to my "I hate the NFL" pile, but, hey. Major League Baseball does this too for the pre World Series era. In both cases there was a real expansion on the competitiveness and professionalism of professional football/baseball that occurred before and through the transition. Professional football wasn't the premier football league in the US until at least the mid to late 50's. Professional football was a dirty place for ex college players to keep on playing. Super Bowl l is a decent demarcation of the "Modern Era" for professional football although the change probably happened in the 10 years before.

Archo posted:Are we gonna sit around and pretend that this isn't how news media has worked for the last 100 plus years? Or that when downsizing that money shouldn't be a priority? There was actually a real change when companies realized that news could be profitable. For a long time companies accepted that the fourth estate was a money loser but a necessity. It wasn't until the last 30 or so years that media companies realized that the news could be the most profitable division. This change in organizational philosophy also rearranged what it meant to provide news content.

What's the deal in the first place with Joe House? As far as I can tell he's a degenerate gambler who can't make any good picks or even tries to claim any ability to yet makes a living (?) on picking coin flip sports bets. I'm just not sure how he's a thing.
