This is how stats works. Trust me, I’m a doctor.
Correlation Understander logging on here and I have to agree.
Only 7.2% of all receptions this NFL season were touchdowns. Meanwhile, of the 26 catches by linemen since the 2021 season, 13 were touchdowns, exactly 50 percent
statistically every pass to a non-lineman is a huge mistake

My model says that throwing to linemen is statistically one of the best plays you can run therefore you should do it every time.

I know there's a million things to be angry about right now, but apparently Congress passed a mini-budget that restored NASA's funding to pre-DOGE levels

My latest: Billy Napier's leadership reduced the effect of the new NIL and transfer rules on Florida football compared to a lot of the country. That fact is as gone as Napier is, and the full transfer future has finally arrived in Gainesville.

Florida football is no longer insulated from the trials of the transfer portal | GatorCountry.com
The wide popularity of professional sports and the added dimension of fantasy sports have trained American fans to think like general managers. Things like salary caps and pay scales practically beg the die hards to open up mental, if not actual, spreadsheets and try to decide how to allocate fixed resources within a team. Heck, Michael Lewis’s book Moneyball has become both a noun and a verb to refer to finding an edge through creative roster management.

I enjoyed Dilbert back 20-30 years ago, and while I have no idea whether Scott Adams pickled his brain online starting in 2015 or just revealed what was already there, it would’ve been better for everyone (himself included) if he’d never wrote a single tweet
the lesson, if you are the creator of a widely beloved piece of entertainment who is also a dipshit, is never post

it's not a prerequisite that the guy who explains how toasters work be of sound morals, but it's nice that he is
There's hardly a meaningful distinction between ICE and the Gestapo at this point and we might as well confront that.
No reforming an institution which became the gestapo. It must be destroyed.

“Yeah, he’s getting up there in age.”
“Two years later, everyone will agree the best coach in the game will be a former assistant of his.”
“Kirby Smart, obviously.”
“Uh, no, not him actually.”
“Interesting. Which SEC school does the guy coach?”
“Well…”
