People <i>misunderstand</i> why the NHL can play much more than a 16-game season without all the players being injured:<br /><br />1) low-friction surfaces that cause almost no wear on bodies if they escape dangerous injuries<br />2) sixteen ice hockey games would be a totally inadequate guide to which teams are best, as shown in <a href="http://www.lmcm.com/868299.pdf" rel="nofollow">“Untangling Skill and Luck: How to Think About Outcomes—Past, Present, and Future”</a><br /><br />How does ice hockey, a similar sport culturally to gridiron, compare with the NFL in the extent to which one can know which teams will be good?jpbenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02664829103165280260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689825883227149381.post-42560396259760284062009-04-11T11:36:00.000-07:002009-04-11T11:36:00.000-07:00Hey George,I love your blog, even as a Bills fan y...Hey George,<BR/><BR/>I love your blog, even as a Bills fan you've always been one of my favorite tight ends in the league.<BR/><BR/>You've reinstilled my faith that not all athletes are either a) lacking intelligence or b) total jerks. You're a genuine guy and I love reading your intellectual thoughts about all subjects.<BR/><BR/>I wish you'd come to Buffalo to play. We really need a high-character guy like yourself to play for us.Matt LeRoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04727180948584192018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689825883227149381.post-7721025829116735662009-04-11T09:41:00.000-07:002009-04-11T09:41:00.000-07:00Hey, they dont like being called "devil" rays!Hey, they dont like being called "devil" rays!Matthttp://www.thebuddypass.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
