I used to know sports stats for a living. Now I know them for no good reason.

2x Elon University alum. Dad. Ex-Opta stat guy. Animal lover. Overall nerd, but you’ll catch onto that quickly enough.
Thank you for your service, podcast I had never heard of before they retired.

Hi, my name is Penny. I learned today that my bladder cancer has gone microscopic and the doctors can’t even find it and I’m done with chemo (at least for now)!

We really need to have a conversation on the talent differential between the color commentators FOX and CBS use for their #NFL broadcasts.

Like, it’s beyond a night and day difference. How did FOX get so bad at this? Outside of Olsen, I think CBS has all the advantages head to head.

Honestly, this is the part that scares me the most and makes me feel the most guilty about being a parent.

I went to two Dodgers games and all I saw was five hits and two runs.

Is it weird to say a top three burrito I ever had was at a Padres game?
August 23, 2025 at 2:28 AM
Thought the Dodgers’ recent success would’ve carried a little harder here.
