Sexy Surprises

Hey, I'm no fool. I see the appeal in some pale British men: Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, anyone named Colin. But I was surprised when I discovered that women find the following actors sexy:

Benedict Cumberbatch

Sometimes it looks like his skull is too big for him, like Eric Stolz in Mask.

Robert Pattinson

Maybe because I can't take his facial hair seriously.

Nicholas Hault

Can look dim-witted, and looks like that boy from About a Boy. Still.

Let's Go Crazy With Copyright Claims

Hey does anybody remember that time in New Orleans when we saw that great cover band? It's probably pretty hazy, but maybe you remember reading about it on this blog? Maybe it inspired you to visit that very same bar and experience it for yourself?

Well, if it was up to Prince, you never would have enjoyed that and you would have no memory of it.

Hey Prince, 7 is a good song and you've made a few other good ones and you can play the guitar real fast but you're pretty much an overrated psychopath.

Brian G had five players who totaled over 90 points, while Bobby had only three. How did Bobby pull off the win? Bobby’s lowest-scoring player was the dude from Boise State, who had 46.  While Brian G a decent output from his late-round NC State guy (40.5 points), the player that killed his championship was Marcus Smart. Taken in the second round, he totaled only 27 points due to the Oregon upset (or due to Oregon being seeded criminally low at 12).

8 of the top 13 players went undrafted. The miss on the La Salle, Wichita State, and Florida Gulf Coast players is understandable, as is the miss on Mitch McGary: his season stats were limited since he didn’t crack the starting rotation until later in the year. The only real whiff here was Glenn Robinson III. I don’t know about you guys, but I didn’t pick him because when I saw Michigan play this year he seemed more timid than the rest of the Wolverines, and I don’t pick sissies.

The worst pick of the draft was certainly Otto Potter Jr, who was at the top of James’ draft board, selected #4. He scored 0.5 points more than Sim Bhullar, the seven-foot-five Indian stiff from New Mexico State that got bounced in the round of 64. Next worst was probably Smart, then Chris’ selection of Bucknell’s Muscala.

Gavin’s selection of Carl Hall in the sixth round was easily the steal of the draft. 

Of those players on the spreadsheet, the median points scored was 36 and the mean was 43 (range, -1 to 190). The median and mean total scores for players seeded 1-7 were almost identical to those seeded 8-16. Contributing factors: La Salle, Wichita State, Florida Gulf Coast; more players listed on spreadsheet for teams seeded 1-7.
