    Maple Leafs chances to win the Stanley Cup (April 18th)

    Tell me if its irony. If its coincidence. If its superfluous. Maple Leafs chances of winning the Stanley Cup, currently, are exactly 18%. This is the highest that it has been in my lifetime, pre payday, for the 16-team playoff format. I have not seen any current odds on this but I expect one...

    any !*^$#%n herb smokers left in these ruins?

    I was gonna post some thread about my experience in some Toronto dispensaries lately, but was either too stoned or stressed to finish. Long story short, swing-and-a-miss a couple years ago, but I did a couple just-cuz-their-there goes lately, and they got some decent shit happening. Funny...

    theory on ties going into the 3rd period - looking for stats

    I haven't even googlied shit, yet. I should get in bed with Grok, later, and see what she says. Anyways, simple concept. Teams that are getting outshot are generally getting outplayed, more times than not. A simple test would be stats for games going into the 3rd period tied; team with more...

    January 19th-Ravens@Bills

    Looks like this will be might be the matchup, winner probably facing Chiefs at Arrowhead/GEHA the following week. Game could be on 18th, I guess, but I figure the NFL will make this a Sunday battle. Chiefs could see rematch with Tomlin. Stroud looking playoff unlikely, lately. cheers and...

    Chiefs when down exactly 10 misinformation

    Chiefs broadcaster Jim Nantz made the assertion, a couple of times, that any time the Chiefs are down exactly 10 points, they win; he claimed Chiefs were 11-0 when that happened. I've heard this repeated, subsequently, on a few podcasts famous for their lack of fact-checking (obviously). I...

    Jontay Porter investigation (alleged player prop shenanigans)

    I did a search on the site and it appears that nobody has commented on this yet. wiki tells me that it was March 25th that the NBA opened up this investigation. May be a topic for that forum, too, but this appears to be a good example of one of the few ways that players might be tempted to be...

    good luck on the grey areas in the 'hip-drop tackle' rule-change proposal

    I love this paragraph from the story at espn, According to competition committee chairman Rich McKay, the proposed rule was written to address only a subset of the rugby tackling style that has spread around the NFL in recent years. It calls for a 15-yard penalty if a defender grabs the runner...

    more fun with analytics

    I'm just re-watching the 49ers@Rams game from Sunday. Out of curiosity, right at the point where the Rams are up 17-0 and then Garoppolo throws an INT on the next drive (2nd quarter, 3:43 left in the half), I opened up espn's gamecast page to see what win% they gave the Rams, at that point. I...

    list of players having great games then immediately testing positive for Covid

    I know there have been others. Two recent come to mind, for me. Sometimes this has been a Sunday game followed by a positive test on Monday. Help me out with this list if one comes to mind. Travis Kelce Tyreek Hill Odell Beckham Jr I remembered that Hill just got the word today. Pretty...

    Is there a site available for historical in-game line movement?

    I know there are sites available for standard line movement, showing daily and/or hourly line movements. I can't find the same for in-game line movements. I suspect such might not exist. I haven't been betting much since pandemic pandemonium first fucked us. Still, I continue to watch a...

    All or Nohing--Toronto Maple Leafs

    I have only watched the first two, of five, episodes but I can't contain myself and herein seems as good a place as any. I may append the following comments once I have managed to suffer through the final three episodes. There is little that I can praise but I must begin by saying that the...

    QB runs for a first down, out of bounds, and clock left running-rule change I missed?

    Happened in the game I'm currently watching. Mahomes scrambles ob, 3rd and 7 at the Clev 36, at 10:31 I presume the clock kept running by mistake, but it seems unusual. Not going to affect the outcome, but that's besides the point. If anybody else caught that, and can explain, I'd dig it...

    Inside Game (2019) - Tim Donaghy - reality or fantasy?

    Did a search but I can't find any comments on the film. I now have a chance to watch it but I'm not majorly anxious. From my understanding, this film is based on Donaghy's side of the story. If memory serves, in interviews he generally claims both coercion and ignorance as defenses. If any...

    At least one Canadian province has implemented $1,000 fines for sharing car ride

    I spoke to a good bud last night. He's currently in Calgary, Alberta. He told me of one of his kids getting stopped in a car, while with someone else. Because the two don't live together, apparently, the were each issued a $1,000 fine. Best confirming evidence I could fine was something like...

    a couple of ultra-brief reviews of virus-related books

    Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic by David Quammen 2012 This books wasn't bad. A decent review of some of the history and the categories of 'zoonotic' transmissions (transmission between species, which seems to be a serious problem, based on the text). I heard the...

    What past sporting events is anyone watching to fend off insanity (or otherwise)

    Probably a bunch of "none"s out there, which is fine. I experienced a desperate void and I've been trying to watch some older events to keep me satisfied, to some small degree. I do this more that the average human, anyways--watch past, recorded games--but usually I have some freakin' events...

    Gee, this is encouraging (not)

    Our current planetary status isn't affecting me as adversely as many. The concern that's juggling my marbles is the over-arching anxiety that this current situation presents; this likely holds for most people, as while the end of this seems inevitable it certainly does not appear imminent. I...
