🚨 Introducing the NFL Injurybot @injurybot.nflverse.com 🚨

A starter pack for sports analytics, as promised.

Please share widely.

Very much incomplete. Suggest additions!

Biases: people I know, sports I know (Am. football, bball, baseball); health and injuries.

Much gray area, but goal is knows or shares sports data/analytics.
