Occam’s Razor and ‘Deflate-gate’

January 26, 2015January 26, 2015 Jo Tango

Again, from our informal test, diff between 12.5 and 10.5 psi is practically imperceptible. 10.5 definitely not soft. pic.twitter.com/sOm2AN5Tm8 — The MMQB (@theMMQB) January 22, 2015 As #Snowmaggedon2015 creeps closer to our area, I’d like to pause a moment and write about “Deflate-gate.” There are quite a few angles to this storyline: Are Bill Belichick

The Strange World of Donald Sterling

April 27, 2014July 2, 2020 Jo Tango

The U.S. Justice Department sues you for discrimination; you pay a $2.7 million fine. ESPN’s Peter Keating profiled you and the many misogynistic and racist things you’ve allegedly said. Last year,

Sealver Siliga has lived an interesting life. I read a profile about him this morning. Crushing failure. A resurrection. His family emigrated from American Samoa. He is the youngest of six boys. His older brothers were ensnared in the gang lifestyle. One is dead and another is in prison for life. Sealver’s mother worked two

Wisdom from NBA Legend Bill Russell

November 2, 2013February 13, 2014 Jo Tango

Celtics legend Bill Russell was honored yesterday with a statue at Boston City Hall. His track record is amazing: a five-time NBA MVP and a 12-time All-Star. Oh, and during his 13-year career, he helped the Celtics win 11 NBA championships. So, I was curious about what he would say in his speech and found
