Interview with author of Scorecasting, a new book that looks at myths behind sports
A Sports Illustrated journalist and a finance professor have joined forces to write a Freakonomics-style book that looks at the cliches, truisms, and myths of several sports.
The book is getting good reviews, and this Wired interview gives a nice glimpse of what it's all about.
Anybody read it yet?

When I first heard about the book a few weeks ago, I thought of you. :-) Looking forward to your thoughts.
I just put the book on hold at the library (too cheap to buy it) so it’ll be a while before I get to it. The comments on Amazon really have me interested — I have trouble wading through the writing of a lot of number-crunchers, but this sounds like it’s going to be hard to put down.
