Belichick Call Questioned in Pats' Loss to Colts

"The Colts, to that point, had scored touchdowns on 4/14 drives, or 28.6% of the times they held the ball. Only one drive was less than two minutes in length. I understand that letting Peyton have the ball back is a scary thing, but statistically, they were more likely to stop him than not from 70 yards out."

You're assuming that all drives are equal. The previous drive before the 4th and 2 was the sub two minute drive, and it was obvious watching it that the Patriots' defense was gassed.

More like a monument to socialism/statism given that it's state owned.

NFL TV Distribution Maps

Neato. The borders of the various games are more irregular than I though they'd be. Like in week one the CBS game dips into north-central Arkansas, but not north-west.

Nadal-Federer epic the most thrilling of all the Wimbledon finals

Federer's had a clear rival since 2005, Nadal. Nadal is the guy who's kept Federer from winning the French, who'd played Federer the closest at Wimbledon, and he's the only guy on tour with a significantly favorable win/loss ratio against Federer.

Candace Parker Dunks As Sparks Top Fever

2nd dunk in the WNBA's history? Is that really true? I've never paid attention to the WNBA but I would've guessed at least one a game or so.

Five More Years of Notre Dame on NBC

Very curious. I sorta-kinda like Notre Dame, but I've avoided watching them on TV the last decade or so because they've become average, sometimes not even that. I don't see the point anymore.

Nadal wins 4th straight French Open in a rout.

Nadal's backhand has really improved. Opponents used to target it and that strategy used to pay off with some frequency. That's not true anymore, especially on clay.

Fines will be imposed for clear cases of flopping:

Sounds good to me. Flopping is one of the worst aspects of the NBA. If they stick to very clear cases it should work.

Do not run on Rick Ankiel.

Thanks for the post. Always nice to see fielding plays other than diving catches make the highlight reel.
