He needs to get at Scarborough for getting at him. That clown had the nerve to call Nate a joke. I remember when said there was no way Obama could possibly beat Hillary.

Nate could be out there betting and making billions.

Seems like he already has...
Soon after graduating from Chicago with an honors degree in economics, Silver joined KPMG as a pricing consultant. He didn't last four years before quitting to play online poker. He made $400,000 over three years, and in his spare time began work on his baseball forecasting model. PECOTA—it stands for Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm—is a tortuous backronym that pays homage to Bill Pecota, a mediocre Royals infielder in the 1980s who hit .303 lifetime against Silver's beloved Tigers. It built on the work of sabermetrician Bill James, who pioneered the matching of current major leaguers with players from the past to predict career trajectories.

In 2003 Silver sold PECOTA to Baseball Prospectus for an equity stake, and every year afterward, until he left in '09 to work full time on FiveThirtyEight.

:whoo:
