The Tournament Auction
A
Brief History
vs. Traditional Office Pools
How It Works
I have participated in (and run) my
fair share of NCAA Tournament pools, and I have been filling out brackets since
the age of 12. I thought that was as good as it could get. But in 2005, while I
was literally on the other side of the world from March Madness, I was looking
for a new way of conducting a pool and stumbled upon the auction format. The
tournament auction has numerous advantages over traditional office pools, is
easy to set up, and is extremely fun. Join me on my tournament auction journey
and you will understand why I'm never going back to a regular office pool again.
The St. Louis Rams:
The Tech Bubble of the NFL
There were two bubbles forming in the
late 1990s: a dot com bubble in the stock market and an offensive bubble in the
NFL. Both burst quickly, and both are instructive in helping us understand the
value of blocking and tackling in sports and in life.
Plato vs. Aristotle in the World Series
By choosing a side in the 2005 World
Series, you're also taking a side in a philosophical debate that goes back
thousands of years.
The Contender, the Rookie, and the Trailblazer:
Sports as a Meritocracy
Big-time sports and reality
television have finally collided in a most unnecessary way. Understanding
why The Contender is different from other reality shows is important to
understanding the place of sports in society.
Suspense vs. Purity:
A Game Theory Perspective on Timed
Sports
What if I told you there was a
surefire way to get rid of the prevent defense, the squib kick, and even all of
the fouling that wastes so much time at the end of basketball games? Would
you be on board? Are you sure?
Wade Boggs, Willie McGee, and the Value of Information
The two men who won a batting title
in 1985 did it in very different ways. Their contrasting batting styles
have a lot to do with the way they process, and the value they place on, the
information they receive in an at bat.
Bo Kimble & Greg Anthony
The stories of Hank Gathers, the Amoeba Defense, and the remarkable 1990
NCAA men's basketball tournament are almost forgotten. Today these
two former combatants look very different. Which one would you rather
be?
The Heroes of 1972
Politics and the Olympics: The World of
1972
Rethinking the Dream Team
A look at the 1972 United States Olympic Men's Basketball Team, which still
refuses to accept its silver medals.
Baseball's Virtues
The home run, according to Craig Kilborn, is "baseball's special moment."
But there are numerous other moments that become just as special because
they exemplify the opportunities baseball creates for truly heroic acts.
Baseball's Vices
Other sports are more violent and intense, but baseball adheres to its
own "honor code" with a fierceness that outstrips all the others.
The Greatest Sports Year: 1991
Sports Illustrated has anointed 1998 as the greatest sports year
in history, and it seems many sports fans claim it as well. They
can have it. Here is why 1991 is greater than 1998.
Golf's Indelicate Imbalance
However you look at it, golf is different from other sports. There's
one thing, though, that makes this sport very different from the
others.
The Problem with "The DH Years"
We love to compare baseball players and say who belongs in the Hall of
Fame. The designated hitter rule has complicated this kind of evaluation.
A lot.
Sports and Division of Labor
Division of labor
was a driving force in the industrial revolution, and its logic applies to many
other areas. It used to apply to sports. Today, many teams are
beginning to resemble collections of redundant talent rather than complementary
pieces of a puzzle.
The Americans United for a
Better NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Pool Manifesto
Tired of being beaten in the office pool by the company's fax machine every
March, I did what came naturally to me: I blamed the system. I joined
the nations premier group dedicated to office pool reform, AUBNMBTP.
Spring Training 2004
My trip to St. Louis Cardinals Spring Training.
The Wave, the Rain Delay, and the Blue
Rectangle on My PantsThe
story of what may be the most interesting night I'll ever spend at a ballpark.
