Around The NFL - 2014

it only sometimes works in baseball because there is no subjectivity with what is going on in the game....99% of the time the stat is the stat...so all sabermetrics is taking stats that already exist and twisting them to create a new stat...at least for offensive metrics....defensive are questionable at best....with baseball advanced stats you literally dont need to watch the game and most baseball nerds dont

on the other hand football is a mostly a subjective sport that has to be watched because of all the moving parts....stats mean very little...you don't see an all 11 film in baseball for example

Well that's what I'm saying to an extent.  In baseball most (not all) of what's being measured can at least be viewed objectively (batter does X against pitcher).  Other factors come in but it can be boiled down to that often.  In football, it's a way more complex thing, and beginning to assign numerical value to how Evan Mathis did in a game just seems way less "provable" than in baseball and opens itself up to way more criticism.  Plus you have to account for blocking schemes, extra rushers, if the C didn't pick up who he should've etc.  A lot more difficult.

it doesnt work great in either sport....but its utterly worthless in football....I give it minimal credence in baseball...because like I said they are just taking normal stats like xbh and bb and hr and making up there own stuff

Purgatory for you would be having to spend the afterlife floating from sabr meeting to sabr meeting

[ice grillin you]

I would be an irresponsible gun owner and the sabr meetings would be a middle school

The FBI Tried To Lure Joe Montana Into A Sting

In an effort to sniff out corruption across California a year ago, an FBI agent met with football legend Joe Montana under the guise of a potential investor for Montana's new hotel venture next to the new San Francisco 49ers' stadium.

Montana was reportedly unaware of the agent's real identity. Montana was never asked to do anything illegal, but also apparently did not enter into business with the agent, due to not being interested in new investors in general.

After discovering California state Sen. Leland Yee was involved in campaign corruption and gun trafficking, the FBI decided to cast a wide net to all sorts of California investments to see if anyone else was involved in financial illegalities.

Yee's attorney James Brosnahan revealed the meeting between Montana and the agent in an effort to show that the FBI was blindly groping to find more evidence against Yee, SFGate reports.

"In a sting, they have real reason to believe someone is committing a crime, but here they fanned out all over California to see who would talk to them about anything," Brosnahan said.

"Who decided to take Joe to lunch and cast a cloud on Northern California's greatest sports hero?" he continued. "Nobody was exercising any judgment about the scope of this thing."

Montana has not made any comments about the situation.
