The Superfreaks come up with their biggest aerosol smoke screen yet to obscure their book’s countless mistakes, as Brad Johnson reports in this Wonk Room repost. Note also how Dubner, in playing the victim card, trivializes the very serious issue of religious persecution. In the latest of many fawning interviews promoting SuperFreakonomics, author Stephen J. Dubner [...]

It's been awhile since Todd Yoder had two touchdowns in a season. "In a season?" he said. "Tampa, my fourth year, actually, two in the same game -- in this stadium. Washington." The date was October 12, 2003. Outkast's "Hey Ya!" was climbing the charts. The Red Sox and Yankees were in the middle of a heated ALCS , which the Yankees would eventually win, thus prolonging...

I've been casting about, recently, for how to express what I mean about the three kinds of non-delusional climate blogs , and what the difference between them might be, in such a way as not to make unnecessary enemies, but also to promote this kind of one, which in the long run I assert is much more important than the other two kinds. OK, on the one hand we have old-line journalism, which seeks something...

For three years as we have seen lately, all right around the same time of the season, the Minnesota Vikings were good for what ails you! ln 2000 and 2001 under Dungy, we thought "OK, its Tony's old team"... But Jon Gruden got in the act too, and speaking of acts, the Bucs got over their "We have a defense but no offense" reputation in this game. Brad Johnson started his path to...

It's not entirely clear from Mr Johnson's analysis, however, whether he is taking into account how many official written communications Mr Schwarzenegger issues every year. If...

We have watched NFL football for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, maybe more and some concepts have stood the test of time as being absolute true. Quarterbacks do not win many games or have long careers when they are getting hit often. When a quarterback sustains the punishment level David Garrard has sustained in the last two seasons, he won't perform well or be on the field much longer. Conversely,...
