Shout out to TSW 

Post#1 » by dobrojim » Mon Feb 9, 2015 6:56 pm

Congrats to Kev on his making the front page of the sports section today. Not every blogger out there can claim as much.

Well deserved and keep it coming.

Thankfully, Dan Steinberg persuaded the editors to lower the Post's standards.

I for one am not thankful for TSW's thoughtful facts and statistical analysis. They cut down on my Wizards-related emotional overreactions. :lol:

CCJ, you're next man.

Or maybe WTA. Maybe the Post can publish his legendary take down of Jason Collins as a "boring, gentrification era gay"

Nice job Kev!

Very nice, Kev!

My only cavil is that he called you "a fan" instead of an "analyst" -- which is how I bet you think of yourself. The work you've done comes out of an interest in the truth and aims at being useful across all teams in the league.

All the same, that's some awesome publicity!! Good for you.

Sincere congrats. You want an intro to draftkings? You could command a king's ransom there (their funding/profits are insane). I of course would want a modest 2% intro fee. :)

Congrats! Wizards are clearly motivated by your writing since they are undefeated since you wrote it. They must have put it on their bulletin board along with take 2 mid range jumpers after every 3 or layup.

My readership has grown by 25% since Steinberg's article published. I'm up to 5 now.

Not to get all scientific on ya, but I did a blog piece about the Wizards not being all that good. Steinberg did a piece quoting me and adding some stuff. This creates what's called a Blowhard Vortex, which caused the Wizards to win by 37 and 16.
