Holy Sports News, Statman!
We saw the news that polling wizard Nate Silver will be joining ESPN after his current contract with the New York Times expires next month. Silver is renowned for having the most accurate polling data in last year's Presidential elections, and was the target of delusional Rethuglican pundits and pollsters who were sure sure sure! that clueless plutocrat Willard "Offshore Accounts" Romney was going to win win win! The Times' loss is certainly ESPN's gain, since Silver began his career in sports statistics and prognostication. In election years, Silver will be an analyst for ABC News (which owns ESPN), so we'll see him there.
