SHATS, lots of SHATS.

I believe goodie when he says he was trying to be funny, it was quite obvious and fits the pattern of his previous attempts.

just focus on the actual lolgoodie and don't try to fit square lolgoodies into round lolgoodie holes.

Goodie has been consistently funny ITT

My personal guess is that if you are too dumb to get really fundamental stuff right over and over you are a dog to be a top 32 head coach in the NFL vs the field of the world.
Not because of the EV you leave on the field by not getting that stuff right but because you are simply not smart enough or not dedicated enough to your craft.

Disagree with the slam dunk. Payton back, NO wins boatloads, advences in wildcard...Iggley turnaround, can't ignore SEA, Riverboat is meh because he kind of torpedoed his team before and is just reaping now

I actually dont think BB has any idea what % of the time they convert in that spot, and I dont think he would really have any good explanation of how to figure it out either.

I think he could make an intuitive guess, and in a lot of situations be correct because his intuition is likely very very good. There would even be times when his intuition would be much better than any statistical or reasoning-based approach to decision-making. The problem is, there isnt any way to know WHEN his intuition will be better, and lots of times it wont be. Lots of times it will be DRAMATICALLY off, because his intuition is heavily biased by other factors, such as the power of anecdotal memory, "conventional wisdom," etc.

I made this point either earlier in this thread or in another thread, but its the 100% foolproof retort to the "these coaches know their teams so much better than you, you can't judge" argument.

I would be STUNNED if you could find an example or two of BB doing something that the internet nerd math said was too aggressive and was also against conventional wisdom.

Weird rando fake punts dont count

Speaking of hyperbole, I pronounced it hyper-bowl up until a few years ago.

Common. There was a sub thread about this a while back, maybe in the lounge? Kids who read beyond their grade level often read words they've never heard in conversation and will make their own pronunciations for them that can stick for decades, even well after they learn the real pronunciations.

Epitome. Awry.

****ing epitoam.

I thought that "rondayvoo" and "rendezvous" were synonyms until like the 12th grade.

askance. Even sort of makes sense in a twisted logic the way that I always said it

For all intensive purposes
At your beckon call

Also, I thought the coach of the Packers in the late 80s/early 90s was named Lindian Fante.

Those are the opposite problem. You were a kid who never picked up a book.

How exactly did you pronounce awry? ah-ree?

What if he punts the ball on first down every possession in the first half?

I know you are joking, but I seriously don't know if someone is serious when they say "intensive purposes." I take post count and poker name theorem into account when deciding.

Goodie still being terrible.

I really thought it was intensive purposes until my early 20's. No joke.

Or-ree, surely.

I remember in junior primary (no idea what that is in the US system, I was like 5 years old?) I was an advanced reader and was given a test a couple times, like 6 months apart. I failed both times on "choir". Second time I did it I was like "oh **** that's right".

Until I actually heard somebody say it in HS, I thought it was pronounced "vageena."

aw-ry = ah-rie

"hyper-bowl"

It's not pronounced that way?

hi per bo lee

Surprised some of you can dress yourselves

Andy Reid can pronounce it.
