Between this stuff and the sports fandom, the Pope is trying really hard to get me back to Mass.

This kind of public–private partnership is a major win for students and a meaningful step forward for sports analytics. Increased data accessibility to the next generation is going to lead to better outcomes for everyone involved. Wondering if I can squeeze in some university classes now....

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Brutal.

A true Cincinnati holiday. Go Reds!

The title of this movie is essentially my overarching belief of modern American life.

Vamos Geno!

I hope Venezuela wins the final by ten million.

World baseball classic is pretty fun

Reject modernity, embrace df[1,]

THE 2028 GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CRISIS A Thought Exercise in Financial History, from the Future

www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic This post does a good job distilling my general concerns in our current moment. While I am not as sure about the timing (I think this happens later), I do think the general thesis feels correct.

Hughes brothers! USA! What a game

My dude John is a career-maker. If you’re interested in football analytics and are ready for the next step in your career, this is your shot

This is an amazing opportunity for anyone looking to get into football analytics!

I'm partial to using a 10+ yard definition that is uniform across both run and pass plays and calling that an "explosive play" when evaluating across play. Within play type I look at top decile as "explosive run"/"explosive pass" relative to other plays of that type.

Came as a skeptic, left as a believer.

I looked back through my phone and shockingly I have none, but I’ll try and rectify that the next couple days. A lot of street food on the move so far

It’s been good Naples.

We are a sick nation.

Football is fun. Sport provides belief, hope, and community in an often dark world. I‘m sorry cinephiles, music junkies and book worms, but there is no novel, symphony, or painting that is as moving as what I witnessed tonight.

When the Hoosiers 2 movie is made, the decision to call the timeout and pull the FG unit off to run a QB draw on 4th and 5 is going to be such a sick scene

Go Hoosiers!

My Sundays will remain free.

If the Bears win the Super Bowl, I’ll be back in the pews of St. Aloysius the following Sunday with my rosary mumbling hail mary‘s like an italian Nonna. #ChicagoPope

Go for 2.

Broncos!!! LFG!

there is no circumstance that should lead to zac taylor being the longest-tenured head coach in any division outside of college football

Playoffs have not missed yet.

Don't have any numbers here but I my instinct is this really might be the play.

Hardly without risk -- chance of penalty is very much there.

But I think worth it.
