  • Why does the salary cap keep going up? The Infinite Monkeys Podcast

    24 GEN 2017 · This episode on the infinite Monkeys Podcast, we travel back to the early 70s, talk about used car market economics, and figure out why the hell these players keep getting outlandish contracts. The Infinite Monkeys Podcast is an alternative view on sports and sports analysis. Rather than addressing current or of-the-moment issues, I take on sports analysis in the abstract, macro sense. By drawing on well-established concepts of mathematics, philosophy and even economics, we can broaden our view of sports analysis and cancel out noise.

  • Why Didn't Anyone Tank In Week 17? The Infinite Monkeys Podcast

    7 GEN 2017 · The Infinite Monkeys Podcast is an alternative view on sports and sports analysis. Rather than addressing current or of-the-moment issues, I take on sports analysis in the abstract, macro sense. By drawing on well-established concepts of mathematics, philosophy and even economics, we can broaden our view of sports analysis and cancel out noise. This time we talk about the idea of "tanking" (losing on purpose for better draft position) using the Prisoner's Dilemma. The Prisoner's dilemma is an economics concept that illustrates why people will act selfishly even when it's obviously best to work as a team.
