I wonder how much he was paid to make that call.


That’s basically what I asked my wife. ;-)

I’m not a sports fan but some stuff even gets guys like me interested for “non-sports” reasons. Like a team owner being forced to sell his team because of what he said on an illegally recorded phone call, or a slightly deflated ball making news.

But I do not trust ANYTHING that involves lots of money changing hands as being legit when so many aspects are subjective. I don’t take pro sports seriously. At all.

I am curious, and honest to God I am not trying to pick a fight. But did you read the article. Carrol made the statistically correct call, but it doesn’t matter.

Back in the early ‘60s, an old nuclear engineer that I used to stop and talk with in his office, on my way home from school, told me one day “if you take anything on TV or in the public arena at face value, you’re a damn fool.”

I’ve yet to encounter anything that would cause me to doubt his words
