EPA is one of the truly dumb stats someone invented. It doesn't account for any real world conditions - like playing a top defense or playing in a...
Of course nobody has to play them. Teams want to play them. It helps the team, brings in money, its great for the fans, etc. It doesn't even help...
Miami only got into the CFP because they played and beat ND. A&M would have been a borderline CFP team without their win over Notre Dame - only 1...
Payton did a good job teaching him to get an official to blow a whistle when he fumbles though.
Payton has done a good job telling Stidham not to randomly throw the ball straight up in the air for no reason and not to throw 5 feet behind his...
I know I'm in the minority, but I actually didn't have a problem with the ACC tiebreaker rules. The issue with Duke was simply that they sucked in...
I think everyone involved in college football sucks, but I think it's funny that people were up in arms over a top-25 JMU getting in because it...
NBA players who routinely do load management might disagree.
Says who? You don't think Altuve or Correa would enjoy days off? Correa specifically wanted to move to 3B to put less wear and tear on his body....
Adding a veteran backup catcher that's averaged 0 WAR over the last 3 years doesn't really move the needle on that. Vazquez's offense is worse...

Would have been more noteworthy if he said "eh, we're not interested in trying to improve the team at this point".
So 9-5 Duke and Notre Dame would have been in this year. Miami and I guess JMU would have been out? Is that better? Also: SEC: we want 16 teams...
You asked for examples of non-established players making an issue out of a position change. I gave you one - the guy was willing to delay a trip...
I believe Nook confirmed that before Yanier Diaz was called up, he told the Astros he didn't want to be a catcher and preferred to stay in the...
If it was that little, why is there so much concern about putting Altuve or Yordan out there in LF?
There are lots of ways to win. The 2017 team won with basically zero reliable bullpen options by the time they got to the postseason. If you trust...
I'll be curious how this plays out over the next few years. Cignetti has been an amazing coach long before the transfer portal and it might just...
Give it 5 years and we'll have a 256 team playoff and you can go 13-0 in the regular season and 8-0 in the playoffs and get to 21-0. The season...
