About David R. »

Interested in sports data mining and pattern recognition---using historical data and
high powered computers to predict player success and failure.

Graduated from the University of Michigan, and the University of Pennsylvania

I follow the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, Wolverines, Eagles, Phillies...

Recently discovered that Brad Childress was the construction worker in the Village People, and Ray Edwards is so dumb, he thinks a quarterback is a refund program at McDonald's.
