    OT: When analytics goes horribly wrong - Tottenham Hotspurs (link)

    https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/48474339/tottenham-analysis-relegation-passing-premier-league-ryan-ohanlon I thought this article on the Tottenham soccer club being relegated from the Premier League was interesting because the owners/management went heavy on analytics and seem to have...

    Strength of Schedule nonsense

    Fun with numbers. Patriots opponents had a 39% winning %. But if you swap out the Raiders game for a game against the Broncos, the Patriots opponent record is 43%. And they STILL win 14 games. I heard over the last week that teams with records like the Patriots usually have an opp win % of...

    WOW Bulletin Board predictions by ALL the ESPN football writers

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47684830/seahawks-patriots-super-bowl-2026-lx-predictions-picks-odds-stats Gut-reaction predictions Stephania Bell, NFL analyst: Seahawks. Their defense will be the difference-maker here; the consistent, relentless pressure up front will ultimately force...

    Cool Link MOST DRAMATIC MOMENT IN NFL HISTORY: Zolak's immediate reaction to Butler interception against Seahawks, in praise of Belichick, in defense of Carroll

    Zolak said that Carroll's decision to pass was the dumbest decision in NFL history: What I find interesting is that Belichick called him up to tell him the Seahawks also ran it because he sent in a jumbo package and Carroll had seen it before when Hightower stoned Lynch earlier. I very well...

    Has anyone ever seen the NFL office overturn a ball that's been properly spotted by the refs?

    Is this the first time that has ever happened? I don't remember an instance when the refs spotted the ball exactly correctly (by replay, which they showed 5+ times, the announcers all saying the refs were spot on) and the NFL office called down and moved the ball one yard ahead. NEVER BEFORE...

    Bills CB Benford was seen with a walking boot after yesterday's practice.

    I didn't post this in the Bills-Pats thread because there were rumors around Buffalo that Benford was injured in yesterday's practice, though I haven't seen reports anywhere. Just putting this out there in case people were unaware. The Bills look to be healthier than they've been at most points...

    OT: NBA coach Billups caught in Mafia and sports gambling sting (LINK)

    https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/23/nba-billups-rozier-sports-betting-arrests-gambling.html This is relevant because you're going to hear so much about people suspecting payoffs when things look funky. Especially regarding refs. If a player or coach making many millions is going to get knotted up...

    Kraft, not Belichick, was the problem

    I don't know how people can watch the series The Dynasty and not blame the downfall on Kraft. He self-confesses (despite not trying to) the outrageous amount of meddling he's done over the years. I don't know how you can have the knowledge that Kraft undermined his previous coaches, both...

    Out-of-towner listening to Felger and Mazz for first time in 9 months

    I caught the Monday podcast yesterday night and the first 3 callers struck me as really weird. I'll list what they said below, but my larger takeaway is this: Felger and Mazz cultivate callers that either largely mimic their twisted takes, or else there's something in the water around Boston...

    Cool Link OT: Flores lawsuit against NFL allowed with echoes back to Deflategate (LINK)

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45973801/court-agrees-brian-flores-suit-vs-nfl-3-teams-go-trial I really don't need to go over Deflategate again but I will note that in this story, a panel of judges declared that the NFL's arbitration process, with Goodell as the decider, is a joke. This...

    5th Year Options and the 2022 Draft Class: LINK

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/44617270/fifth-year-option-tracker-nfl-players-2022-first-round-draft-class I found it pretty interesting that of the 9 OL taken in the 1st round of the 2022 draft, only 3 of them had their options renewed. And 2 of those renewed were questionable. Ekwonu is...

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/43676192/emails-detail-saints-assistance-new-orleans-archdiocese-sexual-abuse-scandal Covering up such crimes is going to dirty this owner and this franchise.

    Cool Link Brian Hoyer on Josh McDaniels on 98.5 (link now added)

    When the podcast is out, I recommend it highly. Points Hoyer made: 1. Josh's system is the best one he ever played in even though he had so little time in it comparatively (he explicitly compared it to WCO and Kyle Shanahan's system). 2. McD's system is updated every year and takes new things...

    OT: Bad headline of the day on ESPN: "MLB bans two fans who grabbed Betts indefinitely."

    They should be banned until they let him go.
