Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting that. Franklin and I did have a few things right last Friday, at least tangentially, as we discussed the big game. I mentioned how no one had ever won three straight Super Bowls, I mentioned a … Continue reading
This weekend you’ve got not one but two podcasts to check out featuring yours truly. Of course there is today’s episode of Math and Musings, in which Franklin and I preview this Sunday’s big game. Everything you need to know in 15 … Continue reading
