I'm reminded every 365 days how terrible the MAIN roads of Indiana are as I'm on my way to the combine. 90 miles of bouncing up and down.

If you're here, hit me up!

The Vikings reportedly removed middle-of-the-field concepts from J.J. McCarthy's reads in 2025, and he still had a higher middle-of-the-field pass percentage than Jalen Hurts

Super Bowl LX Recap: Quick Reads on Seahawks and Patriots Seattle had a dominant defensive performance in Super Bowl LX and finish as one of the greatest teams in DVOA history.

Some discussion in here about why DVOA had Seattle higher than EPA-based power ratings for most of the season.

I would not change anything about how the season turned out. This is not a complaint. But this team was like 3 plays away from 20-0. Just insane

Kon Knueppel ranks 7th in the NBA in total Points Over Expectation, sandwiched between Steph Curry and Donavan Mitchell.

On threes, he ranks second best in the NBA. He's shooting +7.4% higher than you'd expect from an average shooter from three.

Nikola Jokic has played 10+ games less than most leaders in our new metric: Points Over Expectation

He's scored nearly 170 more points and shot 13.5% higher from the field than you'd expect from an average player when you consider shot locations and quality of contest against him.

Some guys create better looks for their teammates than others. Luka Doncic and Scottie Barnes are particularly good at generating quality looks and finding the right shot.

On assists and potential assists this season, Luka has generated +43.5 expected points more than the average passer.

On the opposite end, Derrick White and KAT have had especially bad seasons considering their usual output.

Although no one can compare to Jeremiah Fears' shooting inability and willingness to get shots up.
