They’ll not break the record by only one game. Then everyone will be happy. All of us. Will be very very happy.

You wanna see sports number crunching at it’s best and brightest ?

Go to …

http://msn.foxsports.com/odds?sportName=NFL ..the odds site for all upcoming NFL games. Amazing ! Every week I go there, and go I do, I think about the old men and new machines that go into those incredibly arcane forecasts. It used to be that a simple over and under was enough. No more. Money talks, and Big money talks the loudest..

1) Nah, they won’t do it, but at this pace, it’ll be close.

2) I would LOVE if it happened! As Seth would say in Superbad, “We could be that mistake!” This may sound strange coming from a huge Wolves fan, but Glen Taylor needs to take the stick out of his butt (or find the blackmail pictures) and fire McHale already!

3) If it took longer than 4.39 seconds, even Bill Walton could do better.

4) Maybe if we trade-off half-seasons between Wittman and D-Case (who still shouldn’t have been fired!), we can make the playoffs come 2020. Until then, yeah, 0.0% is far too high.

1) If Marco keeps nailing super models, there is no way they break the record.

2) No, but if they don’t, you know we won’t get the first pick…it’s karma.

3) More time than it should have, but less time it should have taken him. The guy is an idiot.

4) It does sound too high, but can you have a negative percentage? Obviously you didn’t take college algebra 3 times at Mankato State like I did.

1) If people stay off the DL, and Foye gets healthy, I would highly doubt it. I think when Foye comes back, they may even when a couple in a row at some point.
2) I think the people of Minnesota have suffered enough, thank you.
3) It’s one of those signs that the World Wide Leader thinks it’s a slow news day/week/month/existence.
4) I’m sure MP109 would give his middle nut to keep it from being in the negatives.

1.) It’s not likely, but they’re going to be a lot closer to it than originally imagined.

2.) In a perverse way, I would kind of like to see them do it, just to make Kevin McHale’s humiliation complete. At least it would be some sort of accomplishment.

3.) Well, sure you don’t need any fancy-dancy formula to tell you that the McLovins have no chance to make the playoffs. But you do need some fancy-dancy formula to tell Bobcats fans that they have a 0.3% chance of making the playoffs. That’s got to be worth as much time as ESPN is willing to pay for, say about 974 hours or so.

4.) 0.0% is close enough for our purposes.

The thing I’m worried about, Are the Heat going to make the playoffs?

Yeah, they can’t break the record. It’s not like they’re talentless - they’re just a perfect storm of young, inexperienced, and injured right now. I think they’ll probably break 20 wins.
