This excerpt is a joke for a number of reasons:<br /><br />"We do know that many teams simply pass the ball too much these days, and that this problem often has a negative impact on the ability to score points. The Colts provided evidence of that phenomenon this year. They led the NFL with 679 passing attempts and they scored a lot of points (435 points). <br /> <br />But they struggled badly when they relied too much on the passing game, as we reported a couple of times during their mid-season 0-3 slump. They ran the ball more often (as we advised), they got out of the slump and won their final four games thanks to a more balanced attack."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-68427385846198735952011-01-08T16:40:23.043-05:002011-01-08T16:40:23.043-05:00And don't forget, Tversky co-authored the clas...And don't forget, Tversky co-authored the classic "hot hand" paper back in 1985.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-30683937131251891262011-01-08T13:36:53.660-05:002011-01-08T13:36:53.660-05:00The book was preceded by a paper by Kahneman and T...The book was preceded by <a href="http://psiexp.ss.uci.edu/research/teaching/Tversky_Kahneman_1974.pdf" rel="nofollow">a paper by Kahneman and Tversky</a> that has many of the same examples.Andrew Folandhttp://nuclearmangos.blogspost.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38600807.post-62368507798316013602011-01-08T12:09:39.374-05:002011-01-08T12:09:39.374-05:00The url for "Risk is the ally of the underdog...The url for "Risk is the ally of the underdog" is http://gravityandlevity.wordpress.com/2010/12/21/risk-is-the-ally-of-the-underdog/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
