At north yes, but south not that. Maybe if you work and you need with it. Compare to south finland, there hasn't been any snow this winter and we had it already 7 month now and still snowing...
I could be completely wrong, but I thought I heard somewhere that Nashville also swept all 4 rounds in an EA playoff simulation...guess these models love them
Dom's model was so easy to generate, but it's simplicity was it's ultimate downfall. From what I could see, he simply used Excel to generate a random 3 decimal number between 0 and 1. The odds of winning were predetermined by the teams' performance in the real part and the simulated completion of the season and the strength of the lineups set by the beat writers. If the Blues had a 65% chance of winning, Nashville would get from 0-0.350 and the Blues would get from 0.351 to 1. Wherever the random number fell for that game's "simulation" determined the "winner". Apparently the Excel random number generator liked the Preds smaller range a lot.
It's probably the result of going from hearing Jack Buck as a complete Cardinal and St. Louis guy to hearing Joe be a national announcer who has to be neutral and even go out of his way to not be accused of being a St. Louis guy. People notice the big difference and think "Why can't you be more like your Dad?"
Kansas City hates him, I don't get it. It comes down to they think he's a St. Louis homer and when the Giants beat the Royals in the WS and he was hyping Bumgarner for having a historic performance. Bumgarner had a 0.47 ERA, 1 run over 21 innings in the WS, including a 5 inning save in game 7. Anyone was going to be hyping that performance like crazy.
I memorably met Joe Buck once briefly 20+ years ago. I was a grad student in Atlanta and the Braves were in the World Series. I had a family friend who worked in the sports television industry who was a great source for tickets. He wasn't working this series, but he knew Joe well and hooked me up with his World Series tickets (Braves made multiple Series while I lived there, but I think this was 1996 when Braves played Yankees). To get the tickets I had to swing by Buck's hotel (he was broadcasting games for Fox) and get them directly from him. I knocked on Joe's hotel door and he answers wearing only a towel. So we didn't really chat, but he seemed friendly to me as he handed over the tickets.
It’s funny you mention that series, because he mentions when asked how did he hide favoritism when announcing national Cardinals games, he mentions them losing to the Braves in the series before that.
or at least hoping for somebody else.
probably both.I wonder if the divorce rate goes up after all of this?
...or a baby boom
Baby boom for people that don't have kids. For people that have kids, that's a hard no lol. It's impossible to get work done with them running around.I wonder if the divorce rate goes up after all of this?
