Aaron Schatz on Bloomberg TV

I doubt there's much here that's going to be new to regular FO readers, and remember that in a four-minute TV appearance there's no way I can fully explain all my opinions -- but if anyone is curious to see me breaking down this year's postseason, check out this clip of me on Bloomberg TV yesterday. Big decisions had to be made since this was my first appearance since I grew my hair back to mid-90's length; I went with "ponytailed mafia enforcer stat guy" over "shaggy grunge rock stat guy."

Not exactly the kind of analysis you couldn't get anywhere else but understandable given the time constraints.

I didn't particularly like the host further distilling your already abbreviated statements with lines like, "So whoever wants it more will do better," or some similar nonsense.

Oh dude... shaggy grunge rocker is always the right decision.

What a cool job indeed!

Love the title on the video representing the AFL.

Thanks for another great year of NFL insight.

I feel like you're about to shake me down for some old gambling debts.

Exhale before you talk.

Very nice summary of the pet theories regarding momentum and postseason success that have been bouncing around here. Well done.

For impressive wins Aaron forgot to mention Cincy's win At GB

Dang Aaron, you've gotten fat.

When's the last time you saw a pony-tailed mafia enforcer who wasn't fat?

WHOA, that's not fat, that's muscle! He's either the Rogue Warrior or an enforcer! Talk about a new look for the new year.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Indianapolis will NEVER represent the AFL in the Super Bowl.

It looks like Aaron has been secluded in his basement working on a manifesto.

I predict news shows will someday interview Aaron's neighbors. They will all say how he was quiet and a bit of a loner.
