Whoops!
A [1]New York Times correction from today:
The Keeping Score column in SportsSunday on Jan. 23, about a
mathematical formula for projecting the winner of the Super Bowl,
misstated the application of the Pythagorean theorem, which the
formula resembles. The theorem determines the length of the third
side of a right triangle when the length of the two other sides is
known; it is not used to determine the sum of the angles in a right
triangle.
Thanks to [2]Power Line and [3]InstaPundit for the pointer.
