[quote]Well, if they hadn't just taken advantage of her as they did they could've: a) Called 911 b) Taken her to the police precinct in proximity c) Called an Uber d) Taken her somewhere safe, warm, and lighted Why we're none of these viable options?[/quote] Well D is definitely kidnapping...
[quote]Didn't they admit to having sex with her and affirming her drunkenness the next day? And who offloads a drunk, disoriented, lost girl at 2AM in 33F?[/quote] As opposed to actually kidnapping her? She asked to be let out. If they don't let her out, that is kidnapping or false imprisonment...
[quote]CJ is an absolute monster for us until about 6 minutes left in the game, it's been the case since he's been here[/quote] No it hasn't. He's been the borderline all star player that he has been his whole career since he's been here, with normal variance. CJ has very little variable affe...

[quote]Don't know what csal is but no they don't[/quote] Catholic School Athletic League. The track league for most of the baton rouge private middle schools. And 5th graders run under 6 all the time there. And that's just baton rouge, which isn't good at distance running. Probably over 1000 ...

[quote]I'd advise against training until 6th grade(mostly easy running at that). Then track in 7th. Keep him out of Summer track. That's retarded for distance kids, and is a big reason Louisiana distance runners suck as a whole. Keep it fun.[/quote] I don't know a single high school distance runn...

[quote]Granted I pay zero attention to T&F, but did play varsity soccer in high school and would beat my entire team in warmups with a just sub 5 minute mile so I’d think 7:30 mile for a 9 yo is a pretty impressive first go.[/quote] A 5 minute mile is about twice as close to the world record as ...

[quote]That's not true at all. There are very few 5th graders in the country sniffing that kind of time. 7 29 is good, definitely well above average but short of elite[/quote] Very few 5th graders in the country sniffing sub 6? CSAL in Baton Rouge puts them up all the time. ...

Good 5th graders go under 6 with basically no training. 7:29 isn't that good. I guess not horrible though. ...
[quote]I absolutely do not want the clippers in the 1st round. Anybody but them[/quote] Unless you are banking on jokic being injured, the clippers aren't our worst matchup. We can get lucky with wolves or okc, but we are probably gonna have to play a good team pretty early. We just need to get a...
Here is a practical version of the explanation of why it is correct. So you need 2 touchdowns. So we are only concerned about when you do score those 2 touchdowns. Otherwise, none of this matters anyway. Going for PAT after each score give you a 50% chance of winning, as it just goes to ove...
[quote]It gives you a better % chance to win in regulation - that’s the benefit.[/quote] Meh, kind of. That is true, but that's not really why. It's that it gives you an informational advantage. The better % chance to win in regulation is just the manifestation of that informational advantage....
[quote]You're right, it's not some statistical outcome. But it depends on the play call and the defense and the personnel on the field. You've just got one or two chances and the season is done.[/quote] sure, this is true. So while the percentage is around 50%, if you have a great 2 point conver...
[quote]I don't buy this at all. As I posted above, it's not a straightforward problem especially in rare situations like season ending decisions.[/quote] Why does that matter? You are either trying to win the game or lose it. There are no partial losses. If you are trying to win the game, you ...
[quote]Here's the thing. All the anti-analytics/math people bring it up when it fails, but don't talk about it when it succeeds like the Titans/Dolphins game earlier this year. The math behind it absolutely makes sense.[/quote] Or Packers-Saints. The Packers were in the playoffs over the Saints ...
[quote]and then take it to ot? Might as well kick two xps if you want to play for ot. If you’re really adamant on playing to win/lose in regulation put all the chips on the second attempt. Two low probability attempts vs one low probability attempt.[/quote] Yes, the 50% of the time that ...
I don't think you understand what analytics means or is. Yesterday, you wrote this...... [quote]The nerds chirping about analytics are ignorant, analytics never takes downside into account.[/quote] I can't begin to understand what you think analytics is to say something that stupid. Ever...
[quote]That's actually the worst thing you could do[/quote] Meh, its tied with just kicking the extra point on both. Probably a hair better for most teams. But essentially the same. Going for 2 on the second TD and kicking the PAT on both are around 50%. Going for 2 on the first TD is 6...
[quote]Maybe one of the most idiotic statements I’ve ever read here. So many people claiming they favor the math while proposing scenarios where you’d be in the lowest success rate possible.[/quote] I've never seen someone more hopelessly confused than you on the game thread yesterday. It was tr...
[quote]Agree 100%. Kick the extra point and if you score again THEN you decide if you want to go for 2 and the win or kick the extra point. But to make yourself now have to get a 2 pt conversion just to tie is stupid.[/quote] This is so stupid its unfathomable. In that case of going for it after...
[quote]I understand the analytics of it but think it’s such a dumb thing that has become popular lately. I just don’t get it. Kick the dumb extra point and make it a 7 point game[/quote] So you don't understand the analytics. ...
