OK, wrote about the models vs. prediction markets debate. Actually, the real stolen valor is from NYT/Siena. But prediction markets converged toward FLIPR/model prices, not the other way around, and the models got to the right answer sooner and more confidently.

Thank you Terry. Very interesting. Let me try to summarize: "It's like every middle-manager led Zoom call you have ever been on." There. I think we get it.
Thoughts on Viewer Access to Replay Reviews <Warning: It's very long> From the beginning, I was skeptical of how this could be successfully implemented. In theory, it’s a great way to provide insights into Replay/Command Centers evaluations of often critical and game-impacting situations. My skepticism was always its application in the real world. I think that skepticism has proven itself as we’ve seen in numerous games in multiple conferences. Here’s what I think is happening:

Once at the Pro Bowl a group of us wanted to get into a popular restaurant. No way, they said. Too busy and overbooked. An assistant who worked for June at Hawaii called back and asked to make a reservation for June Jones. No prob. Seven of us were seated. The owner, GM and chef came out wanting to meet Coach Jones. June was never coming cause he had something else to do. When the owner started to get impatient waiting for Coach Jones, June’s assistant said he just got a call from June saying he couldn’t make it cause a 5-Star QB from LA was coming a day early for a visit. That ruse worked to perfection. I pulled that off several times in Hawaii, making a reservation under June’s name and then apologizing for him having to pick up a hotshot recruit. Worked ever time. June was so popular in Hawaii.

Simmons is currently ranked 1st in the league in ESPN Pass Rush Win Rate. This deal should move Super Bowl odds.
Blockbuster! The Titans are trading All-Pro DT Jeff Simmons to the Bears, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.

Got a text from another personnel executive this morning, noting that this is the third straight QB class that has had similar problems.
The 2027 QB draft class was expected to be loaded. Now it’s getting messy. And it’s not just an Arch Manning problem. From NFL Blue Book… nflbluebook.com/p/week-7-rec…

Bet the process. Also, check the forecast. Congrats to whoever hit us for 185k parlaying Bermuda Championship Top5/10/20 RFQs Sunday morning at 2am. Thank god we had safeguards, otherwise it would have been worse. Market making can be an expensive education. On to Cincinnati.
