Yesterday I had another idea for fantasy football, but I bet a lot of people wouldn't like it so much. Basically, it'd be trying to make a real box score out of various stats. What I mean is that you'd be able to write up a scoring summary, which could include "Randy Moss 14 yard TD pass from Peyton Manning." However, if you had more receiving TDs ( Read more... )

Several have commented that seeing Brett Favre wearing a Vikings uniform is really weird. And it's not that it's a uniform other than the Packers, which he wore for so long. Sure there was some of that last year when he played for the Jets, but there seems to be more of it this year. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that Minnesota and ( Read more... )

Tonight I bowled a 132, a 98 and a 101. I think that's pretty sweet. In the 2 nights I've bowled (tonight and last week) my lowest is a 98 (2 occasions), which is nutty. For me, 100 is a good game.

This is the second day in a row that I've woken up singing Dancer by Place Vendome

In my dream last night I was reliving the plot of some movie called like "The Crocodile Gang". I was on vacation as a kid (maybe 10 years old in the dream). I got roped into this somehow because of a water slide activity. This gang was after me, presumably for money reasons, maybe I'd stumbled upon some cash they were after. Some guy I didn't know ( Read more... )

I watched Cloverfield for the first time tonight. It. Fuckin'. Sucked. I've decided I don't like movies with the live action camera wobbling, narrated by some dumb ass who has to keep talking no matter how annoying or stupid every one of his comments are. I recognize that the documentary approach was to make it seem more real, but I couldn't take ( Read more... )

Yesterday I started having this idea of building scorecards for NFL data. Specifically, it'd be looking at individual games and seeing what stats are predictive of wins. The binary target would of course be whether a team won or lost that particular game. Stats could include 3rd down conversion percent, team rushing yards, team passer rating, ( Read more... )

To me, the worst part of that Favre touchdown pass at the end of the game yesterday was that the 49ers lost. Beyond that though, the fact that Favre threw it will only egg on more and more Favre commentary from people on ESPN on how he's the greatest ever. Personally, I think it's gotten to the point where they're essentially praying to him. It ( Read more... )

Last night I got invited over to Chris Shibata's place (out of the blue) to play some Guitar Hero/Rock Band. As usual, it was pretty fun. It was me, Chris and his friend Joe (who brought much of the stuff over). It seems like every time after I play that game, I think of songs that'd be cool to hear/play on a game like that. The song that seemed ( Read more... )
