Flo's analysis of Penn State's NCAA draw

Wow, Flo or someone else censored (edited) the post so you can't see the content. They also cut the replies in the thread. They are doing everything to control the wrestling world. It's like bouncers at the door. Give tiny minds a bit of power and they run wild.

Speaking as someone who has given Flo a hard time over copyright issues, I'm going to suggest that they're in the right if they did indeed complain here, whether what you pasted was paywall or non-paywall content. Pasting entire articles without any possible fair use excuse is infringement, period, and leaves the board liable for it. It's not even a close call.
 
I was going to post that it should come down because it is paid site info, which I was able to read before it was removed.

So what did it say?
 
It was a weight by weight analysis of each PSU wrestle and the range of points that Nomad thought each would score. Bottom line, he hadn't done tOSU yet but felt PSU would come in around 130, which is pretty high.

they have OSU around 140. Fair enough.
 
So he did OSU and came to 140? Interesting because during the FRL pretty much everyone picked PSU, I think (I was driving while listening). Now his analysis says OSU. Either way one of the highest two team scores in NCAA history.

not to defend the flo boys... but the projection is simply an analysis based on seeds and perceived match-ups. Their predictions was based on not selling PSU short and they will find a way. Hope they are correct!

PSU will be higher than 130.
 
It provided a min/max for each wrestler. My view was that the max on almost every wrestler was below (sometimes well below) the true max. The max for each of Nolf, Joseph, and Nickal was less than they each scored last year.

I'd take the over (above the max) across the board on all 9 and expect to be right on 6 or 7 at least.

Seemed very conservative.

... In related news, the burglary suspect said to ABC5: "Let's face it, the homeowners, they tried everything they could to prevent me from robbing them blind. That's a fact." ;)

There was nothing profound there. It wasn't even good analysis. All they were trying to do was to make it seem exciting like it was up in the air and too close to call.

They started with their conclusion and worked backwards.

What a bunch of clickbait producing cry babies. It is stuff like this that makes me not want to spend any money with them.


The ironic thing is that Flo will use things they found on this board in their content.

How do we go about copyrighting the content of this board?

I disagree with almost everything you wrote here (it was good analysis) but I'll restrict myself to responding to your last sentence.

You own the copyright to whatever it is you write here, and you implicitly license it to Rivals (or whichever related parent or child entity) so that it can be displayed here. If Flo reproduces your post/comment, you have a claim against Flo. To the extent Flo "uses" things they found on this board, I'm unaware of them reproducing any of it in a way that would suggest copyright liability. Mentioning things on FRL that were first discussed here isn't infringement. Also worth noting that there's no evidence that Flo even complained. Any smart mod would remove Op's infringement without needing to be prompted.
 
Wow, did Marvel or someone else remove my post here yesterday containing the Black Panther movie? Talk about censorship. Marvel is doing everything to control the superhero movie world. They are like bouncers at the door. Give tiny minds a bit of power and they run wild. ;)

I was the only person, for many weeks, to post (on here) anything about Bo claiming he was moving up to 184. Flo used my post repeatedly during those weeks as their source that he was potentially moving up, but did not credit me. As a former sports writer, I was a little butt-hurt.

Overgeneralize much?
 
Surprised anyone questions this. Cutting pasting content has long been a violation of every board’s rules anywhere and any team. In his case the entire article was posted.

Both law and rules....so....

I believe Flo predicted tOSU to have a much lower floor than us and a slightly higher ceiling.

Assuming Flo didn't have its own source, that's, at worst, poor-journalism-101, but it's entirely unrelated to copyright unless they reproduced your particular post(s) verbatim in its own story.

Was 21Guns the poster whom Flo named by name on their show? If so, I guess Flo thought you were a few guns shy of 21Guns. :)

It was actually a pretty conservative analysis. A healthy Nolf puts it over 140.
