DOM's blog nails the heartwarming story of Lindsey Jacobellis the best snowboard cross racer in the world. In the 2006 Olympics, seconds away from the gold medal, she did a little showboating on the last jump, fell, and came in second. In subsequent Olympics Jacobellis failed to medal for various reasons. On Thursday in China, now age 36, Jacobellis nailed it, got redemption, excised the ghosts of her past, and won her gold medal. A true feel-good Olympics story if there ever was one.
Meanwhile the question on everyone's mind is not who is going to win the Super Bowl (The Bengals.. Skip the points, take the +170 money line), but will Rumpole keep his incredible streak of predicting the coin toss alive?
The answer is of course we will. We have analyzed the weather, the dew point at 6 PM in Los Angeles, the anticipated barometric pressure, the wind, the relative coin toss strength of the tosser (RCTST (c) Rumpole 2022, all rights reserved), the humidity, the size of the coin and the weight, and run all of those variables in a computer simulation which is, at this writing, is at over 16 million results. The Sim will run until late Sunday afternoon. But even at this preliminary stage, there is a strong preference for one side of the coin, which we will reveal on Sunday afternoon. Until then, take all your available cash, sell your Bitcoin and Eth, and put it all on the striped Cats from Cincy to win the big one.
I agree — it was a great post by Michael Caruso. Thanks for highlighting it.
ReplyDeleteDid you take into account in your coin toss simulation the loud noises, heat, seismic vibrations and emissions of thousands of truckers and big rigs protesting politicians' mandates around the stadium?

Rumpole, you've been drinking again. The RAMS will win this game and get Matthew Stafford his first SB ring. As for your coin toss, you keep measuring that dew point at 6 PM in Los Angeles good buddy (the coin toss will take place around 3 PM Los Angeles time) but I'm confident you threw that in there just for fun as you don't make mistakes, except for predicting who will win this game.
Tell you what. If the Bengals win, I will donate $170 to The Innocence Project of Florida (https://www.floridainnocence.org/) and if the Rams win you can donate the $170. Deal ?
For anyone that would like to donate to a great organization:
