“Analytics says go” - Kirk “Well, who do we yell at when they don’t convert?” - Al Baltimore gets the first down then the broadcast crew conveniently leaves out the word “analytics” as the reason why. Perfect encapsulation of why the discourse around football continues to be set back by old geezers on big platforms like this.

The real fun irony here is that the two pitches he uses to different audiences - "you can bet your opinion and win" and "markets are a supremely efficient source of truth" - are in direct conflict with each other.

Just hung up with the committee chair. Good conversation. CPM: why is Notre Dame ranked behind BYU? Chair: they have the same record and we go to head to head result CPM: I notice Alabama is ranked 5 and Tennessee is ranked 13. Chair. They have the same record and we go to head to head result except in this case where we decided to rank the blowout winner 8 spots lower CPM: why is Notre Dame, the number one team in Vegas and all the powet rankings outside your top 10? Chair: they don’t have a win over one of the teams on our top 25 board here CPM: I see Indiana is number 4. I assume they have multiple wins over teams in your top 25. Chair: no they don’t CPM: oh so maybe only one top 25 win? Chair: no, not even one. CPM: thanks!

Harvey Epstein. Now that is an unfortunate name.
City Council Member Harvey Epstein and State Assembly Member Keith Powers have come out in favor of preserving the existing exercise equipment at Tompkins Square. I still think this ADA angle is a bit of a red herring, designed to make the bars defenders look like jerks.

Love Tyler but this was a v weird post from him
Economist Tyler Cowen with a good point about "Who's On First." The supposed names of the players are not realistic names. Abbott could explain that this team has unusual names, but, for no rational reason, he does not. Read the full analysis at Tyler's website, Autism Daily.

When can we as a society put Al Michaels out to pasture. Guy is a legend but doesn’t have it anymore.

It’s always a fun game to switch “property values” and “housing prices” in any sentence, because they’re the same thing with opposite valences.
I keep thinking about this exchange. Blakeman says he's "created wealth" because of the skyrocketing home prices in Nassau County. The idea that young families are priced out just doesn't occur at all

Watching NFL: Huge review that determines a touchdown or not: ok let’s go to commercial, not talk about the replay and then ho-humly reveal what happened when we come back.

This feeling of anticipation for the Bears' offense and opposite feeling of dread when their defense is on the field is going to take some getting used to.
