• Awesome. RT @jonahkeri: Highlight of the conference: Matt Silverman just took #RedSox jersey behind him down. Go #Rays #ssac #
• I am a little overwhelmed (but not surprised) by the disparity in men and women here. Probably 90/10. #ssac #
• Adam Silver giving love to upcoming @30for30 "Winning Time" on Reggie Miller and the Knicks. #ssac #
• Silverman: Rays need to convince fans of their permanence. In 13th season. Wow. Has it been that long? #ssac #
• Vataha: data says in league with 30 teams you win a championship once/30 yrs. But you need to be competitive. #ssac #
• Brian Burke averaging 3 laughs in crowd per statement. In a good way. Honest, funny, candid. Great panelist. #ssac #
• Like the Cubs sell an experience, the NBA sells an experience since only one team will win a title. Adam Silver. #ssac #
• Adam Silver is incredibly bullish on the sports industry. International growth and importance of digital media are keys. #ssac #
• Pagliuca: working in sports is 24/7 commitment. Like being an investment banker. Hmm…sounds like Matt Silverman. #ssac #
• Silverman: nobody in baseball wants total parity. Just want to increase the parity. #ssac #

• Just humbled and honored to be sitting next to @jonahkeri at Bloomberg sports presentation at #ssac #bbgsports #

• Packed house awaits What Geeks Don't Get panel w/@mcuban @dmorey @sportsguy33, Bill Polian, J. Kraft. Moderated by Michael Lewis. #ssac #
• http://twitpic.com/16zhei – What Geeks Don't Get panel @sloansportsconf #ssac #
• Challenge is that formulas are getting more complicated. @sportsguy33 lasted 3 weeks in statistics in college. #ssac #
• What bothers @mcuban? That @dmorey won't share his secrets and formulas. NBA owner/gm humor at its finest. #ssac #
• Polian congratulates Lewis for getting it right in Moneyball. Undervalued assets are key. Geekdom provides the tools. #ssac #
• Polian: Stats guy who played football and was military officer would be the complete package in football. #ssac #
• RT @jonahkeri: Michael Lewis to @dmorey "You're large and manly. You could fool people into thinking you played something." WIN #ssac #
• Per @dmorey, if Mavs won NBA title, it'd bring down league office. Said @mcuban: "That would explain a lot of things." #ssac #
• Michael Lewis: "You can't be too stupid to play baseball." Ouch. #ssac #
• On who has info and who doesn't: "Some teams are cheap. I have season tickets to one of them." @sportsguy33 #ssac #
• "You can tell by what lineups they put out there" if a team has or doesn't have data. @mcuban #ssac #
• Polian: Here's what geeks don't get re: 4th & 2 call by Pats. If we get it back, we win the game. "100% the right call." #ssac #
• Watching back and forth of @mcuban and @dmorey is just fantastic. #ssac #
• One thing you didn't know about sports that you know now? "Referees" says @mcuban. Didn't skip a beat. #ssac #
• Great exchange with Simmons and Polian re: defensive pass interference rule changes. Kraft says no power to do that. #ssac #
• ET @BothTeamsPlayed: Cuban: "You want to dump your morons on the other guy. So you try to play hide the morons." #ssac #
• RT @fb_outsiders: Mark Cuban is really, really impressive. Just an obviously really smart guy who knows his business inside and out #ssac #
• RT @jonahkeri: Michael Lewis asks @dmorey about screening for clutch players. Morey swatted that weak stuff into the 3rd row. #ssac #
• If you can predict injuries, you've got a job waiting for you with the Rockets. @dmorey #ssac #
• Injury factor re: DeJuan Blair. FWIW, I loved Blair and was heartbroken he slipped to the Spurs b/c of his injury. #ssac #
• Does playing the sport make you a better talent evaluator? Doesn't it depend on the sport? asks Simmons. #ssac #
• Polian: playing is not helpful when it comes to negotiating. Lawyers are better at that. Rare lawyer love. #ssac #

• Vegas has now taken over/under on Simmons' verbal attacks on Clippers off the board. #ssac #

• Social media marketing panel: @darrenrovell1 promotes via Twitter but cannot break news there. #ssac #
• Lou DePaoli CMO of Pirates: he's on twitter but mainly follows. Insert joke here. #ssac #
• Pirates are focused on fan engagement first. Then move to marketing. #ssac #
• Sports and social media should be a marketer's dream. @jeffma #ssac #
• Reminder for teams: Having a Twitter account and Facebook fan page is not a social media strategy. @jeffma #ssac #
• RT @Ron_Wechsler: @darrenrovell1 says if his tweets are not RT'd, then tweet is a "failure". Tweets should "further the conversation" #ssac #
• Sitting next to guy in Red Sox cap. No fisticuffs have ensued. Yet. #justkidding #sortof #ssac #
• Guy in red sox cap just left. Was it something I said? #ssac #
• Attn @digitalroyalty: talking about random acts of Shaqness. #ssac #
• Media consumption habits are changing. Marketers must embrace it. Be a part of the conversation. @jeffma #ssac #
• RT @NHLdilo: @darrenrovell1 "marketers are patting themselves on the back for being on Twitter and being reactive. Have to be proactive." #
• RT @jasoncfry: @jeffma says cos that want to embrace social media have to take chances. Agree. Too much control guarantees boredom. #ssac #
• P.S. If you didn't already know, @jeffma is super smart and totally gets it. #thatisall #ssac #
• Social media is not a fad. This is how people will communicate. @jeffma #ssac #
• RT @jonahkeri: Q: "If the Pirates develop a great Twitterer, how will the Pirates prevent a big-market team from picking him off?" #ssac #
• On the road, scoreboard watching is key. MLB At Bat Is greatest invention for this. @darrenrovell1. #ssac #
• Future of Sports Journalism panel: Henry Abbott of @truehoop @danshanoff @rfking @jasoncfry @howardbeckNYT #ssac #
• Twitter at the opening of NFL free agent period at 12:01 am was "bananas." @rfking #ssac #
• What's absent at that moment on Twitter in real time is the editor. @rfking #ssac #
• Instant reader reaction on Twitter is remarkable. @HowardBeckNYT #ssac #
• "If the news is really important, it will find me" is a key concept to keep in mind. @jasoncfry #ssac #
• Henry Abbott: Having a blog is like having an obnoxious coach yelling at you with criticism immediately during practice. #ssac #
• Plug by @rfking for ESPN's new Section 140, real time comments like a live game experience. How did I not know about this? #ssac #
• It's not about the 140 characters, it's about the content and the level of authority. @rfking #ssac #
• This is the greatest time ever for a sports fan who wants to read and get all sorts of info. @jasoncfry #ssac #
• Where does analytics fit in? Lots of opportunities to build it into journalism whether writer, editor, blogger. #ssac #
• By analytics, we're talking about page views, SEO, google trends, etc. How to use that info? #ssac #
• Athletes who tweet: tweets aren't always really from the athletes. Don't be naïve. @rfking #ssac #
• People are always going to do stupid stuff. "Stef Marbury and Vaseline? What?" @rfking #ssac #
• Big question: is the game story dead? Read @jasoncfry's blog post on it at sportsjournalism.org. #ssac #
• Pay wall: what is the value proposition for what's behind the wall? Apple is very good at getting us to pay $1. @rfking #ssac #
• RT @blazersedge: "The game story is not dead. The game story is evolving." — @howardbecknyt #ssac #
• Yes I just quoted Dumb and Dumber at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. Win! #ssac #

• These pimientos del padron are supremely awesome. #toro #food #yum #fb #
• Guessed the total bill amount and missed by $3. But I went over, so didn't win the restaurant bill showcase showdown. #fb #
• Great Team Macgyver style dinner/drinks at Toro with @AmyKNelson, @jasoncfry, @jonahkeri, Allen St. John, Kat O'Brien. #
• Link included. Thanks! RT @The_Real_LLC Is the game story dead? http://bit.ly/c7rUN8 from @jasoncfry #ssac #
