Harbaugh confirms Peppers injury

Submitted by rb4kb8 on
According to Nick Baumgardner on the Twitter, Harbaugh confirmed Peppers is 'working through something' and as for the bowl game, Harbaugh said 'We'll see.' EDIT: The response came when Harbaugh was asked about Jabrill & a hand injury. (According to a newspaper I don't care to mention by name)

I predicted before the season that Ty Isaac would be a non factor 100% based on the boards indifference towards him. 5 star transfer in his 3rd at position of need usually would get a fair amount of hype and the only thing the board generally thought was he liked to party.

I think the board in general is usually pretty accurate. There is just enough 'plugged in'ness to the board.

I belive there is quite a bit of research out there to "crowd source" the answer or the truth.  Prior to the days of social media, many advocated a stock market model -- where the general populous could buy / sell stock in certain events.  I seem to recall the DoD or CIA stood one up for geo-political events shortly after 9/11 that was taken down, because buying stock in possible terrorist actions wasn't perceived very well :)

 

In anycase, I think you could argue that blogging and message boards have an interesting big data component to them....

The stock market really is nothing more than every market participant's evaluation of all the available information, and is therefore an accurate measure. To see the phenomenon in action, there was a contest run by the Planet Money Blog this summer with contestants guess the weight of a cow. The guesses were all over the place, but the average was astoundingly close(Goolge Penelope the Cow's Weight). But a better example for this board is looking at NFL teams' records versus the spread... they are almost all 500 against the spread over time, or within a small margin one side or the other. The spread is nothing more than the consensus handicap of the game... moving as bets come in on either side. So at the end of the day the consensus line of the game, based on each bettor's evaluation of the odds, is a good indicator of what the outcome will be. This has been your behavioural finance nerd PSA for the day.

After I graduated I traveled to a bunch of national parks to do some nature writing. I stopped in Eugene, OR and got to chatting with a Ph.D. Candidate in his 40's. He never graduated from high school, but followed the dead for a number of years and was an avid reader and wrote/talked his way into the program. His thesis was that large numbers of people could the mind of God through group dialogue. He did some studies like the cow where people could accurately evaluate things and in some cases predict them. This is pre-browser days when there were bulletin boards but not much else. He had a bunch of people sitting around in a room talking. The issue was getting enough people to tap into the group consciousness with out having the conversation fragment. Reminds me of MGoBlog.

Hand around the knuckle is definitely swolen, but doesn't look like bones are broken on other digits. Would have been in a cast for months if three fingers were busted and knuckle was dislocated. Looks like he tore a tendon in the index finger and the splint is to keep it in place to heal. He could buddy tape that and play defense if needed, just not likely 100% on offense or kick returns.

Lol they're up by 42 with 10 minutes to go. This thread would make you think it's a 5 pt lead. I understand Delaware is awful, but you can't do better than that against anybody.

Sucks. But honestly, hope he doesn't play in the bowl game - rather not risk further injury that could drag into next season, or even interfere with off season practice, then have him out there for what is largely a meaningless bowl game.
