The internets are telling me that NFL viewership is down. How much? Enough to worry some wonks, that’s how much. My solution to this problem of team owners only making hundreds of millions instead of billions involves razor blades and butterflies. Now hear me out!-it goes like this. Uh…umm… Okay I’ll be honest, this is a sort of reverse-engineering thingy whereby I come up with an answer and then try to figure out a way that makes sense of that answer. The reverse-engineering analogy is weak but none of you outside JustStopDude could give a damn. TO THE GAME!
Den/SD-The Broncs are down their HC so it’s “Next Coach Up!” The fella that isn’t being held back by The Migraine Protocol is one Joe DeCamillis. He’s the Special Teams Coordinator that smirks at Wade Phillips every time they pass in the hallway and says, “I wonder why they didn’t make YOU the head guy tonight!” Speaking of coaching changes, it’s a bad sign when you come across more than one article that itemises who the interim coach of the Chargers will be come Monday. I’m guessing it won’t be the personification of failure that is the Chargers DC. Them Bolts give up 28 points and nearly 300 yds. passing on a weekly basis. That’s added up to 17 TDs so far. I guess it’s up to de Bosa to stop the 10 game-strong division losing streak that the other teams out west AFC-wise currently enjoy. In limited play last week he put together 2 sacks and 5 tackles. As far as quick starts by de’s are concerned, he’s got nothing on the Bronc’s Von Miller. The best defensive end in football (suck it, JJ Watts) has 6.5 sacks and will no doubt add to his total ce soir. It looks like Trevor Siemian backers are strutting around after qb Lynch’s play last week. That QBR of 11.7 last week against the Falcons speaks volumes about where he is in his development.
They say that the sincerest form of flattery is typing-SO TYPE!
I wonder what the replacement coach said to these Broncos in the locker room at halftime. Probably talked about pussy a lot, I’d guess.

“This week, on Dateline: the third down play that CBS didn’t WANT you to see.”

So…everyone else’s TV just cut away from that key third down to show a CBS promo, right?
Yerp.
Apparently CBS didn’t want anyone to see that 3rd down play.
Cbs just had a stroke in tribute.
So after tinkering with a map, I found one that’s plausible where Utah’s Evan McMullin crush could actually create a deadlock. I had to flip every state in which Hillary had a 85% or less chance of winning and one of the 85-90% states.

For this to happen, you have to believe polling on who is a likely voter has been *way* off.
It would have been nice if 538 article actually included the data to support this (or to acknowledge they’ve kicked around this same idea with Gary Johnson winning New Mexico) but whatever.
Oh, and the large issue with this situation is it assumes people will NOT reject Trump en masse in most states except Utah which would do the EXACT opposite. Methinks this is very, very unlikely.
The Trevor Siemian who is “Big Lots version of Alex Smith” is back.
Anyone posted this yet?

That’s all I have good to say about tonight.
So, 17-16 Donks final?
Thinkin’ MOAR 3-22, but your version sounds better
The old-style unis are making the donks revert to ’80’s level ineptitude.
Yet the bolts can only make minimal use of it.

So I guess something happened that was 30 million to 1? I wasn’t paying attention.

Another season of hockey. Another season of watching Sean McIndoe and Bloge Salming interact on twitters without making anymore videos. Apparently, Waiver Wire has been ripped down from every site that hosted it and I’m having a sad.

I remember a day when 538.com was a good site and its editor didn’t write articles in which he said Kerry last Pennsylvania and the Evan McMullin could legitimately become president.
I actually thought the McMullin thing was genuinely interesting. I do agree that their model is WAY too generous towards wacky scenarios, though.
It’s interesting and useful for explaining how an electoral college deadlock is resolved, but it diverges quickly from looking at data to speculating pretty wildly that the G.O.P. would embrace an obscure candidate as a presidential option. 538 has been doing that sort of speculating *a lot* in this election cycle and I’ve started reading Sam Wang’s site more since it’s clearly not under pressure to generate clicks for ESPN.
What’s the math version of #UpForAnything?
Well Nate Silver doesn’t write most of the stuff. When it was at NYT coming out with 2-3 posts a week, I loved it.
It’s true, but a lot of what he has been writing is the very thing he railed again: punditry.
Plus, I find it really difficult to overlook the factual fuckup of forgetting who won PA in an article specifically talking about how PA has voted in recent presidential election.
I think fucking up the Trump prediction in the primary has gotten to him.
As a Utah resident, the mormon dipshits around here are losing their minds over this McMullin dude. They don’t realize that the national race actually needs to be close for any of this shit to have a remote chance of happening.
They’re also acting like they won’t just automatically fall in line and vote “R” when they’re actually in the booth. It’s just what they do, they always fall in line. The denial around here is hilarious.
Interesting take. He seems like the perfect protest vote for them so it’ll be interesting to see if he nets enough votes to come in second or third.
This is the only state in the Union that was still giving W. a high 80’s approval rating in the summer of ’08. They love suckling at the Republican teat here, no matter who is on the ticket.

Well, it usually only takes about 5 seconds for my siemian to run around.
