They probably need to send at least some capital with Tua when they trade him at this point
Like, just compare MLB statcast to what we're working with for the NFL. What's the downside to making reliable info public?
Yeah, I feel like the issue with the "democratization of sports data" is that making an LLM that people interact with to have it spit out a number/table is just giving the public access to your database with both extra steps and obfuscation.

Like, cool ig
How does it help the other team? It doesn't meaningfully change the Cincy title odds. To the extent that they may win, like, 6 games instead of 5, that just hurts Cincy's draft capital in an otherwise lost year.
Barely outdueling Mac Jones used to be a bad thing
I just spend every week forcing myself to remember the Lions, Rams, and Jags games

Thus far in Week 5, there's only been one CB-WR matchup that occurred at least 15 times and resulted in 0 receiving yards:

Isaiah Rodgers vs. Jerry Jeudy.

17 matchups, two targets, zero receptions, per NFL Next Gen Stats.
Is there a current dead thing or no?
But I need that excuse
Well, I don't know why anyone would do this to themselves, but I can't hurt me more than the Vikings already do.

Kirill Kaprizov (8x17m extension with Minnesota) is a very good hockey player.

pre-snap penalties have to be the easiest area of improvement for MIN, right. It's primarily on offense and offensive pre-snap penalties occurred under both QBs (quite a bit) so it's not as easy as saying one is better but like fix this and you fix a lot, fast (h/t @statbutler.com )
Carson Wentz, and the general Vikings O, doing the perfect amount to keep my JJM hopes alive and potentially win a game or two in the meantime
In spite of the watermark, the data isn't available via nflfastr, right? Just a blend of ngs and pff?
Yeah, I'm also at least a little skeptical of the positive correlation between the axes. You'd like to be able to delineate blame between the line play, the QB, and the system. This just tells me there's a problem in MN, which I learned the hard way Sunday Night
Adding to Arif's explanation.

EPA - Expected points Added
CPOE - Completion percentage over expectation

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.

The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.
‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts
Social media accounts that appear to be connected to the 16-year-old shooter are littered with references to mass shootings and antisemitic views, The Denver Post found.

The Rs are going to wait for focus groups of swing voters to determine how many concentration camps to build?
If you consider J6 an act of political violence, the "normies" (read as low info voters, or swing voters, or whoever) elected the chief instigator of political violence over the last, like, 50 years to be POTUS. What are we talking about here?
Idk man, the idea that the autocrats and their cronies are just waiting for liberals to slip up as an excuse to do fascism is pretty far fetched.

In the prerogative/normative state model, the prerog. state can be arbitrary. It's sorta the whole point. Failure to engage with that is silly imo
Legitimately 5 years ago that throw might kill DJ Moore
Week one of the NFL is always just nuts man. My stuff really didn't like Dallas in this game (I mean, they were below average in EPA/play on offense even when Dak was playing last season, so...). Color me pretty shocked
Deleted my X account, is the deal here that there's not a ton of signal in how the games end up one score games?
