I love that book! I got for Christmas in 89 . Cannoli Send a noteboard - 25/12/2010 01:35:27 AM
Frankly, I'm tired of all the folks greeting Christmas with "bah, humbug!" We get it, you're misanthropic SOBs; I'll talk to you after New Years, OK? :P Also, I'm too drunk to respond to your football post right now, but consider this a Christmas present (it was certainly one of the best things I ever found under my tree, and you can get it cheap on Amazon, IIRC, which I'm sure Ben would appreciate):

"The Hidden Game of Football"


Did I make a football post? Anyway, I was given that book by my godfather one year, and more than any other single book, it has been the greatest factor in my development as a fan. I still recall their argument in favor of going for it on fourth down in goal line situations - "If your defense can't stop the other team from going 99 yards up the field, 3 points are not going to do you much good anyway." I also recall the way they broke down the passer rating system to clarify how it is formulated, among other things.

Hm, okay. You're not the first person I've heard it from, though. Craig - 22/12/2010 06:51:35 AM 307 Views
No, but I feel safe around old guys with shovels. Cannoli - 22/12/2010 08:32:28 AM 279 Views

Santa Claus is Coming to Town sounds like every totalitarian regime in history. Tom - 22/12/2010 05:42:15 AM 5398 Views
George Bush or George Dub-ya Bush doesn't fit. But Barack Obama, on the other hand... Cannoli - 22/12/2010 08:30:53 AM 433 Views

It always bugs me during a game when I see a guy who's playing good but his rating drops from a pick Cannoli - 31/12/2010 07:28:55 AM 406 Views
Yeah, I know that feeling; I wish they'd factor in the field position change. Joel - 08/01/2011 02:52:13 AM 431 Views
