9/22    Been meaning to ask this for a long time: how the hell do
        sportscasters (or ESPN or whoever) come up with such obscure
        stats during sports games? For example, only X times in history
        has the losing team had the ball with Y seconds left and Z
        has happened. Anyone know or have ideas?
        \_ Elias Sports Bureau
        \_ They have a guy whose sole job it is to feed stats to the
           broadcasters.  Also, teams produce a "media guide" which
           lists team records for a lot of obscure stuff.  -tom
           \_ True that they have a stats guy, but for the obscure stuff
              the correct answer is "Elias Sports Bureau".
              \_ Elias Sports Bureau compiles them, the guy in the truck feeds
                 them to the announcers.  -tom

        \_ American travel agent.
           \_ Really?  The article didn't say this.
              \_ Yes, it did: "but her travel agent accidentally scheduled"

        I think Kristy Yamaguch's white mustache "Got Milk" picture was much
        more suggestive.

        Body painted women. May not be SFW if you look at it closely.
        I'm surprised that they're all pretty small cupped women.
        \_ must be annoying for big boobed women to play a sport w/o a bra.
           \_ in sports in general, having big boob is a big liability
