Stop spreading myths, lies, and innuendos. It's a basketball thread.

Well, atleast I did have Yale beating Baylor.

The Simpsons: Lisa's Substitute (#2.19)" (1991) Martin Prince: As your president, (commissioner) I would demand a science-fiction library Hall of Fame, featuring an ABC of the genre. Asimov A-Rod, Bester Bonds, Clarke Clemens. Student: What about Ray Bradbury Ken Griffey Jr.? Martin Prince: I'm aware of his work.

Nice. What's your new ride?

Those numbers... http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bondsba01.shtml#batting_standard::none Really, no one else can compare except for Ruth, Gehrig, and Ted Williams (maybe Musial too)...and they played the first half of the last century. Closest comparables after the Korean War are Mays and Mantle.

Well...to be fair, the juice turned Barry Bonds from the greatest player of his generation and one of the best players of all time...to...Bo Jackson on steroids in Tecmo Bowl --except he's hitting baseballs like the Thing when it's CLOBBERIN' TIME.

OK, using the " feels" approach, I'm going with the following: Final Four - Cal, Oregon, UNC, Michigan St. Coin flips had me as Cal over Oregon and Michigan St over UNC. Final coin flip has Michigan State over Cal.

I'm afraid Val is gonna label me a moron for using analytics to fill out my brackets. I guess I'll just have to play it by feels and coin flips.

Also, if you don't believe in the power and predictive capability of the betting markets, that's more $$ for me.

Lols. Don't know where you're getting your info but I'm 100% positive I made money on fantasy baseball and betting in Las Vegas directly because of Nate Silver.

Updated Hibernian Conspirator odds at Paddy Power: Clinton 4/9 The Donald 5/2 Kasich 20/1 Bernie Lean 22/1 Cruz 25/1 Biden 50/1 Romney 100/1 Paul Ryan 100/1 There's been some definite movement with Kasich getting better odds than Cruz and Sanders. Clinton also increased her favorite status.

I think Nate Silver is wrong. Here are MY odds: 10 percent chance of President Hillary with Democratic Senate 5 percent chance of President Hillary with Republican Senate 84.5 Percent chance of President Trump with Republican Senate 0.5 Percent chance of some other republican Nah. Nate's made me some decent money in fantasy baseball and Vegas in general. I'll go with his picks.

Barry Bonds for the Hall of Fame!

Interesting analysis from Nate Silver based on the current info on hand: 40 percent chance of President Clinton with a Democratic Senate. 30 percent chance of Clinton with a Republican Senate. 20 percent chance of President Trump (probably with a Republican Senate). 10 percent chance of Cruz, John Kasich or some other Republican.

Useful info as usual from Scotusblog.

Merrick Garland announced as Obama's SCOTUS nominee. He was given10/3 odds behind Sri Srinivasan and Paul Watford immediately following Scalia's death. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/84229-us-elections-2016/?p=1775107 Reports are that he's a moderate who scews left.

Can't wait for the Clinton/Trump attack ads to appear on my tv/radio/mailbox/internets. Should be fun.

Will it have a $130 Collector's Edition?

So who owns the IP?

It's trending towards a mammoth bloodbath for Trump in Florida.

Will we be getting a new evil subforum?

Likely just cocaine. Then, where are the hookers? Can't have one without the other.

Jed York for President.

Sheets?

Ohio will be interesting. It's an open primary and Kasich may actually draw Clinton voters in an effort to stop Trump. Sanders big chance for an upset today will have to happen there.
