Not even funny how egregious this is
A stunner from @dvnjr.bsky.social and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction.

In a game where you're struggling to move the ball and points are at a premium, you should be *more* aggressive going for it when you're close to the end zone. You can't count on getting many chances to score a TD!
Massive difference between breakeven and conversion estimate. AND high leverage.
Kicking in that spot is trying to lose.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
