The reviews on the back cover of the

paperback version of

THE WAGES OF WINS

“Wages is provocative, stimulating, and challenging.” Dick Friedman, Sports Illustrated

“The Wage of Wins brilliantly and provocatively argues that our eyes betray us when we watch professional athletes. To see the truth about how good a point guard or quarterback is, we need the help of algorithms.” Malcolm Gladwell, author of Blink and The Tipping Point.

“When I read the book, I was impressed by the amount of effort that went into compiling the reams of data that underlie the work... The fundamental case the authors make is that the statistical analysis shows that the conventional wisdom about sports is dead wrong -- that the data, as they put it, ‘offers many surprises.’” Joe Nocera, New York Times
