Columbia Research Paper Looks at Fighting/PIM and Mortality Rates
shrader replied to That Aud Smell's topic in The Aud Club
I can point you to several smokers who didn’t develop lung cancer or serious heart issues. I guess that means smoking’s not bad for you. This thing is not saying that the fighter will die at exactly 47.5 years old. Listing off a handful of names that lived well past that point, since that figure is an average, that means we’re going to be able to list a bunch who died well before it. That’s how averages work, there will be plenty above and below that mark. And I questioned the matching earlier, but that’s only an issue for their control, non-fighter group. The players they counted as fighters, every single one of them is included in that 47.5 figure. On its own, that’s a pretty startling number. You may want to question how they settled on that fighter definition (50+ fights) and that’s fair, but there are absolutely zero games being played in calculating that 47.5. It’s basic math at that point. With a little free time and google, you can verify it yourself. -

Did you see the words “on average”? Each of these guys should be included based on what I briefly read. -

I'm not crazy about their matching process. They reduced 5708 of the so called non-fighters down to the control group of 331. They've thrown away a lot of data that they didn't necessarily have to. Match 2 to 1, 3 to 1, ... Hell, at the very least I'd like to see the characteristics of everyone since they do have them. Can you tell that I'm not a fan of matching? -
I mean, the first two rounds were so much fun, why not add more!

Did you hack me or something? MGM Shraderplace is still a work in progress and I wasn't ready to announce it yet.

... and then they can do it two more times for the next drawings. Ratings gold!

And I'd just like to add to this that a QB brings in money. A WR brings in money. A punter does not bring in money. *I am not implying a single thing about the individuals who currently fill those positions.

Drawing four balls and then going to a chart to see who hold that number combination? Yeah, that will be aired live on tv right after the paint drying championship.

So you often see prosecutors come out like that and over and over say “you’re lying”?

I’m amazed that the refs didn’t just end that Seattle game with about a minute left.

And Carolina sucks on the road in the playoffs. The next game will tell you everything about that series.

I asked my wife when we will stop using months when we say our son’s age. She said never. So this made me do the math in my head to show her that there’s clearly a line where you need to stop with months. I realized that I just turned 500 months. so yeah, I don’t know where that line is, but I’m way past it.

I feel like this description fits more than half of the first round QBs. He’ll, Allen’s draft looks like it’s 2:3 in booms:busts. And wow, I just looked up that draft and I didn’t realize that Jackson was the last pick of the first round. For whatever reason, I thought he was somewhere around 20.

Ha, I just assumed that would get filtered.
-
Yeah, I'm not trying to suggest he's not ripped or taking god knows what. It's just that the picture itself is also not natural.
-
It's a crazy filter on a phone combined with a well timed flex.

How do they respond to it during the olympics? It's the wrong thread for it, but while I don't give two shits about the royals, I am slightly intrigued by the history of that occasion since pretty much no one alive has ever seen one.

Given the size comments, I assume that's a picture of him running full speed?

Did I seriously just hear Jean Luc Grand Pierre on the Boston-florida broadcast?

Maybe you should try wearing them when it's cold outside and then get back to us.

Is Jeff Skinner on a Hall of Fame trajectory?
shrader replied to GASabresIUFAN's topic in The Aud Club
Yes, just like how I am now suggesting that you have never watched a Star Wars movie. -
All you had to do was say that you "seen it" and then that hot seat would quickly be changed to an ejector seat. You didn't, so I guess there is still hope for you yet.

Ahhh, so you have to look at 5 or 6 separate places to see the entire point. Twitter, what a great place to make statements like this.🙄

Why does he say 17 years and then offer up 5 years of evidence?
