In The Lab: Is Christian Walker for Real?

One of the things I am always sensitive to is the ratio between positive and negative news. The analysis itself is neutral, but what we choose to analyze is never neutral. We will always come in with preconceived notions about what we are likely to find. So, every once in awhile I want to highlight […]

Box Grades: Spurs Even Series in Dominant Fashion

I must admit, my confidence was hanging by a thread as last night’s game started. After all, the Thunder are a genuinely great team, the Spurs had suffered consistently bad disadvantages in three straight games (e.g., turnover margin), and it felt like OKC’s plan of fouling Wemby continuously was going to end up being an […]

Devon Witherspoon, Seahawks ‘do not yet appear to be close to an agreement’

The Seattle Seahawks wasted little time getting a contract extension done with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who’s now the NFL’s highest paid receiver. It’s a slightly different (but, for now, not particularly concerning) story for All-Pro cornerback and fellow 2023 first-round pick, Devon Witherspoon. ESPN’s Brady Henderson shared his latest Seahawks notebook over the weekend, with Witherspoon’s […]

Three up, three down: week of May 18-24

This was not a good week. There were a lot of lost opportunities out on the field against the Ohio teams, series that frankly should have been won. There is also the time coming for a few conversations that need to be had in the front office. Three up Bryson Stott – This was a […]

Is Villanova set in the backcourt?

There’s been a lot of talk about the Wildcats’ frontcourt, especially the center position, and rightfully so. As of now, the nine-man roster consists of only Oregon transfer Kwame Evans Jr., redshirt freshman Nico Onyekwere (reported), Matt Hodge (ACL recovery) and Ohio State transfer Devin Royal, who at 6’6” is an undersized forward. Tyler Perkins […]

Memorial Day open thread

Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer, but it is also a day to remember and honor the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. Originally called “Decoration Day” to honor the fallen during the Civil War, President Lyndon Johnson made it an official holiday beginning in 1971 to […]

Kenny Atkinson tries to take a page out of the Browns’ book with analytics, and it didn’t go over well

We’ve heard plenty of stories about the Cleveland Browns and analytics over the years, especially when Paul DePodesta first came around. DePodesta departed this offseason to go back to Major League Baseball, but present day, analytics is more widely accepted as a standard across the NFL.
