The Daily Suckie - May 31st, 2005
Well, this is late today and it's going to be short because I ran out of time at work...
Brash Bravado
Once again, Shanoff makes bold claims that he has no backing for...this time calling for Larry Brown to step down right now. Brown has not taken the Cavs job yet, has signed no contracts and has to and should be true to one contract - the one he signed with the Pistons.
Stupid Stats
We are lucky today as we get to combine a Do You Care with the Daily Suckie!
65 percent of teams in first on Memorial Day get to the playoffs (since '95).
First of all...it's only been 10 years. That makes the sample size pretty small (60 teams have been in first on Memorial Day since 1995). So what this stat says is that 39 out of those 60 teams have made the playoffs...WOW! Mindboggling! INCREDIBLE! This stat is not statistically significant...and neither is Shanoff.
Danica, oh danica...
Well Shanoff, it looks as if your bold prediction of Danica Patrick winning the Indy 500 fell just a bit short...and now you're still trying to stay she's the best crossover athlete...once again we must take exception to this exceptional hyperbole.
Well...that's it for today - still have more work to get done...but even in about 5 minutes I could still prove that Shanoff is the leader of what we like to call The Sportswriters Demise....
