Epstein files. Why is Trump blocking their release?

And trying so hard to redact any mention of his name in them?

I suspect that adding such complexity to the QB rating system would have less of an effect than you might think. There seems to be something of a diminishing return on adding parameters to such analytics. You sometimes get weird results that end up muddying the water rather than clearing it up and sometimes you can add all kinds of granularity to a computation and end up with a nearly identical result that makes all the detail gathering a waste of time and energy. There's no way to know though, until you try it!

I haven't heard anything yet, but I'm not paying close attention either so. It'd be surprising if some known but not well-known QB out of the past winds up being christened the Greatest Of All Time. It might be able to however, tell us just how good someone like Aaron Rodgers truly was during his long prime era, when he basically ran away with the QB ratings all the time, he was really accurate and talented, we all know, but he might have been even better than we all think too, is my thinking. He almost never had elite receivers, like Tom Brady and Joe Montana at times enjoyed in their dominant careers, for example. If Rodgers ever got a Randy Moss or a Jerry Rice, he might have run away with the GOAT title.

I'd be shocked to find out that there isn't anyone already trying to figure out ways to use AI in a manner close to what you're suggesting. I'm certain that it has everything to do with the new propensity of teams to go for it on fourth down now. That didn't hardly ever happen before. Now it's multiple times a game. AI has got to have something to do with that change.

I'm not sure about this (nor about the contemporary novelty in the NBA to focus on taking threes so much that it at times seems ridiculous). This has the signature of MLB's "Money Ball" phenomenon, aka "Sabermetrics". They didn't need AI to come up with this, is my thought.

Sure.

1. I don't expect any of you to consider anything that's contrary to your blind defense of Trump.

2. Vlad's main goal here is to get a scratch on the head from the rest of you.

Good boy! :)

My question was about what Clete said. What Vlad said after my post was not included.

But good job, you fulfilled Vlad's (and my and Clete's) prediction perfectly!

Good girl! :)

I answered for you.

1. I don't expect any of you to consider anything that's contrary to your blind defense of Trump.



But of course the more important thing was for you to go past that entirely to scratch Vlad's head. :)

That's why the discussion is useless.

Blind defense?

When's the last time I defended Trump blindly?

And regardless of that, doesn't this answer of yours just confirm that your position has not altered at all WRT the Epstein Files, just as @Clete predicted?

But sure, keep shifting the discussion to Vlad instead, maybe that'll make it less obvious or hide the fact that you still have TDS.
