This entire thread is incredibly disrespectful to the University of Dayton and 2019-2020 Player of the Year, Obi Toppin. No school can claim “robbed” of a “what if” like Dayton can.

“Hijacked by the computer guys.” Michael Wilbon 🤝 Bill James And I thought politics made strange bedfellows. 🤷‍♂️

Just like Bear Bryant, to paraphrase Bum Phillips, "he can take his teammate and beat you and yours or he can take yours and beat you and his."

A sick burn, delivered by 🐅 to Montgomerie, no doubt. But let’s not forget the devastatingly disrespectful swipe — delivered by Monty on behalf of Tiger — at the #1 player in the world at a time Tiger had three career wins. It’s my favorite golf quote ever.

Jack (Captain Jack Andrews) sports betting’s tireless advocate, does a great job calmly explaining the promise of near-nationwide exchange betting. It’s not a distant dream. The relaunch of a reconfigured Prophet Exchange (ProphetX) is imminent, I’m told. youtu.be/6WUmhGsT2AQ?si…

I just picked up Breaks of the Game, David Halberstam’s seminal account of Bill Walton’s Trail Blazers, on a “Take Me” pile at a garage sale. How has no one ever written or told me about the first words in the book?! (cc:Bill Simmons ) Should have led both of their obits.

This passage of Joe Peta's book shows what really goes on in the world of allocators, and he even calls out Stanford University by name. The cost of this behavior should not be underappreciated. If you ever look at the rankings of university endowment performance realize that: 1. The

(In the weeds, way too technical point incoming) This astounding fact actually understates (!) Tiger’s greatness a bit because Hughes almost certainly couldn’t gain his ATG and Putting strokes playing from Scottie’s lies due to the finite SG available each hole.

As I wrote in my book back in 2019, regarding his mastery of ball striking and short game, Tiger is the one and only golfing embodiment of Bum Phillip’s (paraphrased) praise of Bear Bryant, “He take take his shots and beat yours or he can take your shots and beat his.”

The parallels of the inability of Joe Posnanski, at the top of the sports writing profession when embedded with Joe Paterno, to honestly assess the situation and Michael Lewis/SBF are too perfect. Two words: Access corrupts.

Moved our youngest daughter into her freshman dorm today. When it comes to the written word, sometimes a perfectly constructed, 100-or-so word message — like this one from San Diego State to incoming freshmen in 2014 — packs more of a wallop than a much longer speech or essay.

Such a blast talking to Joe Peta. If you're interested in the world of multi-strategy hedge funds, and how they identify the great traders, give it a listen. Also some very important info at how he landed his gig at Point72.

TRANSCRIPT: The full text of our interview with Joe Peta on how hedge funds can identify the next superstar trader. Also, everyone should read about how he landed a job at Point72 and keep it in mind if you ever get invited onto the Odd Lots podcast bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

For my money, or more accurately "free time spent," Odd Lots is the best fin podcast out there. I appeared in 2017 when it was a nascent entrant in the space and look at it now - Joe and Tracy are stars. Thrilled to come back again -- and it's tied to the 2017 appearance!

My inaugural appearance. I felt like “Nuke” LaLoosh getting called up to the bigs. And like Nuke, I took it “one game at a time.” 😉
