Great job normalizing work anxiety. I also knew that true leaders don’t ping team members on Saturday, they queue up for Monday. But the anxiety ridden non-trusting middle manager type will send anything at anytime while saying “don’t feel pressured to respond”

I've decided to share some data on NBA player shot mechanics.
I've received a lot of great ideas on what I could do with my shot motion analysis, and I just don't have time to try them all out. So I'm sharing the data to let others take a crack at it.

We used a 15-0 second-half run to erase an 11-point deficit and held on to complete the sweep at UNH. Here are the highlights including a clutch late bucket from R.J. Eytle-Rock, who scored 27.

---> NYJ (23) @ LA (17) <---
LA has 4th & 9 at the NYJ 23
Recommendation (STRONG): 👟🏈 Field goal attempt (+5.8 WP)
Actual play: 👟🏈 M.Gay 42 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-J.McQuaide, Holder-J.Hekker.

🎞️First episode of Greatest Peaks is up on YouTube! This opening video asks whether Wilt really had "dominant stats" compared to Russell...and what that means for comparing players. 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=kCKSvjBn…

This @BaseballRstats post on the Blake Snell decision is superb because it seeks to frame the issue correctly in the first place. It’s not about what happens with pitchers *on average*; it’s about how pitchers will perform in that specific situation. baseballwithr.wordpress.com/…

Let me be blunt to my entire timeline: if you make a living off black ppl/culture (whether it’s covering predominantly black sports or urban music/fashion,etc) & you out here supporting police brutality & those who propagate it, be prepared to do that job for a shrinking audience
