Basketball announcers should be forced to say if it’s a good play or a good shot before they see if it goes in
NEW: Casas, Ortiz, & Mo all have cast doubt that Ted really hit the red seat 502 feet away. We used new tech to answer an old question, and the answer is .. it's not 502 feet. It's more like 530. And it's real -- but it probably can't be repeated. --> mlb.com/redsox/news/te…

I am surprised to report that the 1st round was better predicted by the mocks this year than in years past
Despite 6 QBs in the top 12, team's didn't sway too far from consensus opinion in round 1 this year - only 6 players drafted outside the consensus top 32 players

@StatsbyLopez Here is my Chaos Factor. Taking the weighted average of difference from @jacklich10 consensus board (3/5 weight), total trade distance covered on draft night (players equaling 16 picks), and number of trades total. All values are above average in the Chaos Factor equation.
@UWMadisonSTATS @skdeshpande91 During my years as co-organizer of the math & sports session at the JMM, Sameer gave one of the two best student talks we ever had. The other was by @YAMiAM9 (who was a Skidmore undergrad at the time.) It's no surprise that Sameer and Derrick have been very successful!
It's high but not ludricrous. Teams allowed 23 or more uncontested attempts 492 (out of 1220 tracked games, so 2440 team games) times this season in the public tracking data.
@SethPartnow Isn't part of the issue the total count of open threes? How does 23 compare to league avg?
@PFF_Moo @StatsbyLopez @ericeager_ @SandoNFL (Of course, we have no idea what the new kickoff rules will mean for this.)
@PFF_Moo @StatsbyLopez @ericeager_ @SandoNFL Just a quick note on this discussion. I don't have all the numbers in front of me, but kickoffs are much, much more predictive from year to year than FG. An important part of discussing kickers. TB% Y-Y from 2018-2022 had a correlation of .48, for example.

Thank you to @TDMDAL @AlisonL @semills1 @SchuckersM for another successful BIG DATA CUP! Open source womens hockey data FTW! @HockeyAnalytics
#GoldRace Day 69 1) BUF 34 (32 gp) 2) OTT 34 (33 gp) 3) MTL 26 4) ARI 25 5) CBJ 22 6) CHI 21 7) ANA 20 8) S.J 14 We could have a pair of extremely exciting final games for Buffalo and Ottawa on Monday, or we could have graphs with lottery probabilities on them.
Girls, we CAN do anything 🥰
One of the best parts of this job over the last three years has been watching first hand the number of people who come up to @AlisonL on our tv set pre game and tell their story of how she’s inspired them to get in to hockey. Just brilliant.
This is a very painful choice but I think I have to take gold drafting. Having 82 exciting games for almost every team is more benefit to fans than making late regulation ties more exciting.
@IneffectiveMath You get one move only - Gold drafting or change the scoring system?
Thoughts: -This place is actually quite loud. Probably is a cool playoff atmosphere. -Danton Heinen is good. -The Bruins have played quite well since Dom at The Athletic elected to call them frauds. Did the Bruins take that personally?
@StatsbyLopez @friscojosh Yeah I liked Tom's code on the home field advantage GitHub, I set it up this way since we covered RAPM a couple weeks ago since this has a similar design matrix (including home field advantage is an exercise for the students)
Wow this is awesome. Shout outs to @StatsbyLopez @DataWithBliss and many others for breaking down the data from the XFL Kickoff
The 2024 @NFL season will feature a significantly different style of kickoff. Our data and analytics team has taken a deep dive into the numbers to analyze the rule change's potential impact. See what to expect on the Extra Point Blog: ops.nfl.com/3TIuJma
