I don't mean to pick on Redietz here. I have always gotten along ok, with Redietz and have nothing against him, but I don't even see how this is the big "event" that he proclaimed, even if you want to discount (or asterisk) the Jacksonville game. I mean I guess an interesting enough tidbit, but it is after the fact. Now if Redietz or anyone had predicted or even better.....shared with me that home teams would win and cover all game or all but one game before the games were played, ahh yeah I might have been more excited about it.

BTW, another "historic event" in sports involving home teams last week in that the visiting team won every game of the world series, never been done before. I am equally not excited about this tidbit after the fact. If someone had shared that would happen before the series started, then we would have something.

Reminds me of a situation I shared on a blackjack forum years ago. I shared numbers from a down swing period that I was on or had just completed. I knew it was pretty extreme, certainly one of the most extreme periods for me at the time. That is why I though it might be of interest to other blackjack players. So one of the "math Geek" guys posted a response that the chances of a swing like that were like 1.5 percent. I mean was that supposed to make me feel better? It just actually happened, so telling me how rare it was after the fact, didn't help and had absolutely no meaning.

That is sort of what I feel about Redietz's great "Historic Events" proclamation. Has no real meaning after the fact. Probably why there was not a whole lot of interest in the topic on either site. Now again, if he had told us say, last week.....
