The data exists, so why not talk about it? It’s not like we’re trying to convince the GMs to make roster decisions based on all of these things (though some sure are), but I like being able to have a nuanced discussion about Justin Herbert instead of just “numbers are good, go win a playoff game”.

75 years ago we didn’t have multi-avenue 24 hour sports talk — so sometimes you need to have some content to discuss.
Heck, even 25 years ago I’d be content watching Sportscenter as a highlight show, where the most advanced insight I’d get was how cool the other side of Adam Vinatieri’s pillow was.

I don’t know, I think there’s a huge gap between using QBR and focusing on things like exit velocity and spin rate and until we start measuring the spiral radius on throws I think we’re doing fine

Seems like — without trying to denigrate everyone pushing back on this — there’s still a desire to see QB play only as a sequence of intangibles and raw stats (wins, TD/INTs, yards), that the job is so tough that reducing it to advanced metrics is somehow disrespectful.

Kind of like how you know I’m not a bot because I said “yourself” twice in that sentence, like I’m back in 10th grade and still write like a child

When I have to travel out of state and stay with my aging aunt who doesn’t have cable, you’d best believe I’m hugging the box for my PlayStation, looking longingly at the screencaps on the back for Destruction Derby and Battle Arena Toshinden — games I’ve never owned but that are like family to me

Can’t go wrong with a little Sam Says, and while Bingo might be one of my favorites I don’t think that hits until you’re familiar with the cast and format

If I had to assume there’s a plan (jury’s out) it would be causing as much harm as possible during the shutdown to try to coerce more concessions from Dems as they try to reopen to stop this shit
Also the calculus that they already lost this year’s election and it’s too early to lose next year’s

These are the hypotheticals I wanna hear more!
“Steph Curry woulda been punched in the eye by Charles Oakley” is worn out; I wanna know if Faker would have ruled the LAN party using a Logitech trackball on his overclocked 533Mhz Pentium III rig, posted up in a dining room chair with one wobbly leg.

I’m pretty sure if Bayonetta and God Hand did the fusion dance it would produce this man and I’d vote for it for game of the year

This feels very much like 2011 Tebow, where he could win a playoff game and there are still plenty of people who wanted him out because they were convinced a better QB would win more
I’ll never understand how, but some guys just win
I’m not saying this is CLE wrt Baker Mayfield, but he is winning

It’s also why promises from public officials to “not take a salary” ring all the alarms in my head
They know the salary draw isn’t much anyway, but it signals to the public that “the money doesn’t matter to them!” in a way that hides the implied “because they’re getting more behind the scenes”

When your town is full of retirees the grocery stores are allowed to charge out the ass for everything because those old folks have all forgotten what anything costs and just pay it, so Target is actually on the lower side of things

The only times I’ve ever played it I treat it like Sneak Attack or Through the Breach, but only for things I really want the ETB for.
Workshop into this could be scary if you’re carrying Hoof or Griselbrand or something mana-intensive? Idk, it’s a weird one.
