So this will be a blog about basketball and Heroes?
Also - when are you going to reveal the advanced statistical formula you used to make your predictions?

Is this a project for Jorisch?

Steven said...

this is the worst prediction ive ever seen. im trying to be as nice as possible. also give me some awards predictions

Elie said...

this is not a project for Jorisch, these are not the worst predictions ever (those are Hollinger's, included below mine), and it's unclear if I'll write about Heroes or not.
Sometimes, I get bored in school; I though it fitting to start a blog to fill some downtime. All the cool kids are doing it, right?

ps - turk, i overrated the Knicks just for you.

Elie said...

and also, turk... there are clearly awards predictions. scroll down.

PG said...

what's a Jorisch?

Elie said...

that's the professor that made us post blogs, which helped you find my e-mail address once, which also lead to you and Rebecca making fun of me.
