"Tipping Point" author Malcolm Gladwell made an interesting case about using forensic economists to create a "statistical plausibility test" for professional athletes. His argument stems from the revelations that he—and, well, everybody else—had been reading about in "Book of Shadows."
Indeed, the idea of such a test sounds ludicrous at first mention (the greatest accomplishments of many athletes break records because they defy the statistical norms), but if you didn't think Gladwell put together a solid argument, he came back for another round.
(Deadspin, as always, had fun with Malcolm—and made a point of their own as well.)
