@improviso said in So, who's NOT watching the Super Bowl?:

I watched. I hate LA, so was rooting for Cincy.

The commercials sucked. The halftime show sucked. And the Ref's in the last 2 minutes sucked.

+1 to all the above

Interesting. If it could out-fly and out-run any missile...

Interesting.

Of course, 50 years ago, I was promised flying cars for everyone.

As Yogi said, "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future."

Kasich I thought was pretty normal and sensible in 2016, but couldn't survive having so many candidates in the primaries

...and being as dull as ditch water that had inexplicably got stuck in a traffic jam on the way to visit a lawnmower museum.

Very cool story!!

@lufins-dad said in Generic Decency:

The idea is that if blacks represent 70% of the players, they ought to represent 70% of the head coaches.

I think a more realistic comparison (not as a quota per se but as a reasonableness test) would be to compare black head coaching percentage to the percentage of black players 20 years ago (since coaches are are in their 40s and 50s) who scored in (say) the top quintile of the wonderlic test.

That seems to be a better approximation of the potential coaching pool.

Maybe he was inspired by this.

I predicted that once we got to the other side, everybody would look back and say “See? I was right! Told you so!”

I'd like to see some evidence to back up that claim.

No, the 49ers are Evil Incarnate. The Rams are just evil.
