  1. Man there are so SO many metrics in football (soccer) to judge player performance than just "goals". It doesn't even account for the different roles and positions that players play. I love all of his analysis, but this one take is kinda ridiculous.

  2. I would like to see a sports statistician answer whether he believes individual catch-all advanced stats (EPM, LEBRON, RAPTOR, or the more antiquated PER), particularly defensive catch-all stats, are useful to determine how good individual players are.

  3. I’m not a huge sports fan, but I am fascinated with the statistics, analysis, psychology, and other complex factors. It helps with training, recruiting , historical statistics , and other useful outcomes.

  4. I feel like this guy has a lot of knowledge on basketball and they chose to ask him questions outside his expertise.

    His soccer and baseball answers were odd and off base. No baseball statistician is attributing so much to the shift (everything we know says it’s overblown) and no soccer expert is just looking at goals.

  5. Highly disagree with the idea that running backs are being devalued due to a recognition shift towards the offensive line. They aren't getting paid because their production drops off a cliff within a few years after their rookie contracts, and it's cheaper to draft another one in later rounds over paying them adequately. In other words, money.

  6. The one time I know a lot about a topic the expert fumbles the answer (Messi v. CR7). Now I'm wondering how often other experts give bad answers that I don't notice cause I don't know any better.

  7. You said sports and it's all about basketball, too biased. There are other sports more popular than BB so you should include them as well like Football and Cricket. And when I say I football I mean real football not your American football

  8. I'm surprised that with the mentions of Jordan, LeBron and Jeter, that there's only like 136 comments about it lol

    Edit: people also dont recognize that the Oakland As also had a pretty good pitching lineup too which def helped with getting this wins

  9. Multiple Pitchers just kills Baseball. Never mind the Stats – if a Pitchers having a bad day or getting found out then you just replace him. And then you replace him. So its a Squad Game not a Team Game now and that is boring.

  10. I wrote a short paper for a sports analytics class arguing why the three-point shot was the most effecient (not including possibilities of fouls). Glad it was on the right path!
