| Preseason all-star teams are so much bullshit. I guess the stories fill space, but that's about it.

SPOT-ON, Woody. I harken back to an Operations Research class I had at U-M my junior year. While explaining god-knows-how-many different statistical distribution types, our professor (of whom I thought highly) pointed this out: "You can crank up the models, and the formulas, to the end of the earth, but---since you use EXISTING demand/consumption data---there is always one weakness: you are assuming, to at least some degree, that THE FUTURE WILL BE LIKE THE PAST." Ahem. Can we think of another "field of endeavor" to which that applies?????? [And not just a team overall: but also individual returning players and their PRIOR-YEAR performance...] | |
