    I'm not a fan of Morey, but there's a lot of silliness in that HuffPo article.

    Every team and sport (pro and college) uses analytics to some degree. It's just a tool in the toolbox.

    The piece's author, Vince Vega (a name he likely pinched from "Pulp Fiction") says he is a "NYC-based uber-hip advertising pro/writer/musician/filmmaker, (pop) culture & sports-addict. Currently going low carb (ugh!)"

    Yep, that's the guy I want to rely on for insight into a Houston sports team. Hey, he's uber-hip!

    True story. Every team uses analytics. Not using analytics at this juncture is ridiculous.

    A rep for you, sir.

    Not that you posted this trash, opinionated, 0 facts piece.... but that you at least had the kindness to post the article so I didn't have to give this troll anymore clicks.
