Rethinking everything now. Crazy that baseball was revolutionized cuz a massive troll accidentally trolled with a correct analysis.

Elephant in the room in my mind has been how many of these victims will become, or already have, become abusers themselves? - Prbly more likely if it has happened it's w/ Sandusky victim(s) that haven't come forward for obv reasons

Molestation is one sick cycle

Well he has the courage of his convictions 4 sho - Per Wiki

Quote:
James was a critic of the Dowd Report, which was an investigation (commissioned by baseball commissioner Bart Giamatti) on the gambling activities of Pete Rose. James, in his Baseball Book 1990, dismissed Dowd's conclusion that the former Cincinnati Reds manager bet on baseball games, for lack of evidence. James reproached commissioner Giamatti and his successor, Fay Vincent, for their acceptance of the Dowd Report as the final word on Rose's gambling.

In 2004, Rose admitted publicly that he had bet on baseball and confirmed the Dowd Report was correct. James argued that the evidence available to Dowd at the time was insufficient to reach the coincidentally correct conclusion.

I lump Bill James in the same category as Malcolm Gladwell and Bill Simmons. They're clever, imaginative writers who ask compelling questions about interesting topics. When you read their work it often makes you think (particularly Gladwell), which is a rewarding outcome of reading a book in and of itself. But the part of the scientific method that comes after the intriguing hypothesis is where their work typically hits a snag. Faux scientist is a mean-sounding label but it's not completely out of line.

I'm reading James' book Popular Crime right now, and the experience hasn't been a total bust. But James is often critical of the method by which others have arrived at conclusions, after which he will pose an alternative conclusion that he feels good about without subjecting his own thought process to the same kind of scrutiny. His stance on this Paterno thing doesn't shock me given his book. He likes to explore instances of society drawing a conclusion that isn't supported by the evidence, and this is probably the biggest story to arise since he was published. He's coming across as a fool though, and he should probably stop talking before people start to wonder if he's just a nerdy guy who stumbled into something useful by accident.

haha i usually never read comments on news sites because they are generally the WOAT, but i liked this one on the story about jay paterno's investigation from ESPN:

If you have to use the phrase "I should have done more" to describe how you dealt with stopping a child molester, you are already a monster. The only thing that can fix Joe Paterno's legacy is a time machine.
