Looking at the NHL leader board and see Scrivens' face 2 times steens twice and Penner, Bishop and Thornton all once. Now we all should understand the importance of sample size.

Yeah, a majority of his right calls came from picking no-brainer bottom feeders and perennial middling teams. Of course, there's going to be less deviation in the middle of the pack, where a majority of his successes were.

As I said, simply using last year's standings without any modification would have yielded a far superior prediction.

Funny how that happens with advanced stats, isn't it? The actual results that sit right in front of your face tend to be the best indicators of reality.

Go figure.

Im bored.. Anyone know of any good tv series i can watch? I watched 8 episodes of Revolution last night, mainly cause Charlie is soooo hot.. I like AMC/HBO type shows. Boardwalk Empire, Hell on wheels, Justified are amongst my favs, but i also love The League and Its always sunny... any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Homeland is pretty awesome.

Spooks (called MI-5 in the US) is an awesome bbc show that ran from 2003-2012ish, really well done if you can excuse the Britishisms....

American Horror Story - All seasons

Heroes?...I dunno.

Just watch the first season, then pretend nothing else ever happened.

Seriously, that show holds the distinction of the worst crash in quality ever.

You tube 8 out of 10 cats s01e01 and go from there. One of the best shows on British t.v.

If you're not aware of British current affairs you may not like it too much
