        i didn't vett the stat when ESPN flashed it in the draftcast chat, but they said oldest 1st rounder. -- nm - TFox Apr 27, 07:06 1

Last night's draft, was pretty fun. Lot's of trading, teams didn't take their full time allotment, and Kiper didn't get too much time to drone on. - flavorize Apr 27, 06:42
things i learned on the radio. Tannehill may have been a draft pick reach, but his fiancee should have been drafted much higher. -- nm - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 27, 06:36 1
- It pisses me off that Kuechly is sitting right there for them and they opt for a QB project. This is why the Dolphins haven't been relevant in ages -- nm - CQ: PVC Madman Apr 27, 06:42

- What's ST in? Helvetica? (Bery - I demand that we get a choice of fonts for ST) -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 06:42
- y'all should stop arguing. My boss loves Arial. Everything must be in Arial. Do you want to agree with my boss? - tRuMaN, (possibly absurd) Apr 27, 06:34

  - hee ... so funny - I never noticed ANY of the things he points out - I just like the fact that when I use Arial bold - it's easy to read. :) -- nm - JenBro Apr 27, 06:09 2
    - I think Font people are interesting in how much the obsess over things that the rest of us would never notice -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 06:13 1
      - I suppose it's like web designers and their favorite programming languages. Most people using websites don't notice. -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 06:52

- *jealous* I'll be there Labor Day hopefully. -- nm - Count Strongbad Apr 27, 06:11
heh, neat. Of the 8 teams remaining in the NHL playoffs, they represent every seed (1 through 8) between the 2 conferences -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 05:39 15
- [deleted] 14
  - That's the way I see it too. - Count Strongbad Apr 27, 06:12 13
    - but that doesn't take into account the odds of an 8 seed beating a 1 etc though does it? -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 06:19 12
      - [deleted] 10
        
        Difficult to pinpoint, it varies from year to year. -- nm - Count Strongbad Apr 27, 06:27 9

        One year, the 8 seed might be really good, in a tough conference or a weak one in a weak one - Will Hunting Apr 27, 07:02 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        You said "odds" - Count Strongbad Apr 27, 07:56
        
        1 way to come up with it is look at the number of 8 seeds that won over the past 10 years, 7 seeds, 6 seeds, etc. -- nm - Count Strongbad Apr 27, 06:28 4
        
        1 seeds are 26-10 since the format changed in1994 -- nm - mafic Apr 27, 06:44 2
        
        2 are 19-16, 3 are 22-13, 4 also 22-13. -- nm - mafic Apr 27, 06:53 1
        
        (+1 to the wins for all those higher seeds. apparently I'm bad at math today.) -- nm - mafic Apr 27, 07:01
        
        we'll just go with your first answer and assume that the odds of 8 over 1 are offset by 1 over 8 etc :) -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 06:32
      - Doesn't that kind of thing happen in the NHL a lot more often than NBA? - Count Strongbad Apr 27, 06:22
