  1. Not sure how much analytics can be effectively used in football, sample sizes and variables are much different than in baseball or hockey.  The reduced number of times teams face each other, the large variability in the personnel on either side of the ball, number of players involved in each play... trying to figure out how much of each play a certain player was responsible for... breaking down the film and assessing the play of any one player seems like an impossible task, even with the best algorithms. 

     

    Can they be used to assess coaches and systems?  That I can see... but not for specific players.  We'll have to rely on stats for that ;)

    Is anyone else thrilled by the fact that we're this close to training camp and the most contentious issue is who our 5th receiver is going to be?

    I think the question mark at MLB might be a little more contentious, but yes, it is awesome that we are no longer worried about if we have enough starters, rather that we are going to have to make some decisions about backups who may be too good to be backups...

    You should take a look at Danny Mac's career...  he's HOF like Burris and Glenn...  journeymen that just hung around for a long time - each maybe have 2-3 really great years out of their whole career

    When there was a severe lack of QB talent in the CFL, you could get away with a bad TD:INT ratio...  when you add the fact that the game drastically favours QB/REC over DBs now... there's no excuse.

    In honor of this momentous occasion, Aards has authorized me to offer you all a 99% discount at his store today!!

    That should keep him busy...hehe

    No need to "keep me busy", I still have a huge amount of work to do.  But we are accepting competitors customers right now, and when you buy 10 packages of our frozen raw, you get the 11th one half price...  not 99% off, but its a decent reward (that we pay for, not a manufacturers incentive), and our frozen raw is affordable. ;)

  5. I'm in the corner P7's.  My business partner is lower bowl, 40 yard line, 8 rows up behind the visitors bench.   I like my seats a little better, the overhead view is nice, adn the angle in the corner means you are looking up the field at an angle, so no neck craning like we had the first season at IGF when we were P&'s across the isle from the P6's...

    And for any new members who stick around, there is a $12 annual subscription payable in Bitcoin. PM me for the wallet address.

    What conversion rate are you using?  I assume since we are playing on a larger field, you are using CAN$...

    In the meantime, Aards' store sales will be at an all time high.

    One can only hope that sales are so good that he just can't find the time to post anymore.

    I noticed it was down on Friday morning and it's been down since whenever I've attempted to access it. I e-mailed Mod Admin and he only confirmed they're doing everything in their power to get it up and running. Maybe a good time for upgrades to the site...?

    LOL :lol:

    Someone should deliver the poor guy a hot chocolate.

    Well, sales are at all time highs, yes...  and we are installing 30' of commercial freezers, which meant tearing the store apart to get them in the door and placed.  So it has been very hectic, and I really haven't had time, so the main site being down hasn't bothered me much.  But with the news of Waggoner, the new signings, I got a little bit of the fever...  so I came here to see what was going on, and what the response was. 

    With the weather where it is, I'm drinking Gatorade for the summer...  so, please, no Hot Chocolate.
