The Invisible Layer: How Data, Tracking Technology, and Probability Models Are Rewriting the NFL For most of professional football’s history, the game was decoded by men who trusted their eyes.

I’m going to keep this preview for the final home game on the Marquette women’s basketball schedule pretty straight forward. First, it’s Senior Day at the McGuire Center.

Diane. It’s February 24th, 12:10 pm, mountain time. My investigation, in all it’s twists, turns, detours, and non-sequiturs has led me to the Peoria Sports Complex in the northwest corner of the Phoenix metropolitan area.

The crew that made the six-mile […]

The Olympic Games are a beautiful thing. There are only, to my knowledge, two arenas in which all countries can regularly come together and depart without coming to blows. The Olympics are one such arena (hockey fights and curling controversies excepted), and the United Nations is the other. Thankfully, I am not paid to write […]

The German Olympian spoke to team media for the first time after rejoining the team, skating in his first practice in Anaheim ahead of the Oilers’ clash with the Ducks…
The Dallas Cowboys kind of caught us all by surprise about last week when they actually got ahead of things on a contract. This is definitely not the speed we are used to seeing them move at when it comes to contracts. Running back Javonte Williams was scheduled to become a free agent in the […]

I'm not American nor will I ever be one, but the citizens of the country connected to Canada had a lot to celebrate over the last few days with their men's and women's Olympic teams capturing gold medals at the Milano-Cortina Olympics.
