ESPN sources: three-time Pro-Bowl CB Devon Witherspoon and the Seahawks reached agreement on a four-year, $132 million extension and includes over $101 million guaranteed that now makes him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.

I believe Seattle's Becca Erenbaum is the first data/analytics NFL staffer to make the official draft call to a club's pick. Pretty cool and good for Becca (and Seattle)

#Seahawks GM John Schneider is the first GM in NFL history to reach multiple Super Bowls with the same organization — while having a new head coach and no players from the previous Super Bowl team.

The Seahawks didn’t make the playoffs last year. They are in the Super Bowl. The Patriots didn’t make the playoffs last year. They are in the Super Bowl.

Very few people in any walk of the NFL more well-liked or respected than Seahawks GM John Schneider. This is a long overdue honor for one of the best execs of his era.

Here’s how shitty our healthcare system is Order a lab through insurance. Insurance refuses to pay. Sends patient bill for $200. Without insurance and contracting with lab, same EXACT test is $5.

A reminder, blatantly plagiarized from @stat_sam, of why radar plots are misleading. Eye focuses on area, not length.

I rarely speak publicly on technical topics these days, so I really enjoyed recording an episode on Alex Andorra's Bayes podcast recently. For those with a more technical bent in the stats/analytics community, hopefully there are some useful nuggets here. open.spotify.com/episode/0tH…
