Title: SI Article on Home Field Advantage
Post by: RedTD on January 16, 2011, 12:21:00 PM

Interesting article in SI this week that examines why teams benefit from a home field advantage. They "disprove" all of the traditionally excepted reasons and then come up with "the" reason  -- get ready -- officiating bias!! Does make for some interesting reading.

Lay down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas.  Read SI and you'll get dumbed down.
