After extensive review, @jtuvey and I have concluded that "Conjunction Junction" is the best Schoolhouse Rock jam of all time. Tell us we're wrong.

Week 2 food for thought...
How important is Week 2? Since pro football’s 1990 playoffs expansion, teams to start 2-0 have advanced to the postseason 63.9% of the time. That drops to 42.0% for 1-1 clubs and 11.5% for teams who start 0-2. How’s your team looking for Week 2? #Football #Data #Insights

Will the Roar be fully restored?
So you’re telling me there’s a chance... With a 6.6% chance, our simulation of this year’s #ProFootball season predicts that Detroit has the best odds of winning their first championship. Will they be crowned kings of the jungle?

Based on 50,000 simulations of the pro football season, teams with 10 or more wins this season have a 95% chance of making the playoffs, compared to only 56% chance with 9 wins. Will your team break through this threshold? #ProFootball #Kickoff

The King is in the North! We ran the upcoming #ProFootball season through our advanced #AI algorithms 50K times to predict the strongest divisions in the league, and the American North is leading the way. Who will be part of divisional royalty when it’s all said and done?

The reigning champs have a 15.1% chance of being the first team to accomplish the 10-win milestone this season. Will Kansas City win the race to the playoffs?

Consider this your reminder that we've lost over 90 minutes of daylight since August 1st and will lose another 90 minutes over the next month 🌇

I've been working on a book about the plight of the Minnesota Vikings and their fans, but I keep needing to add chapters. I fear George R. R. Martin will be done with "A Song of Ice and Fire" long before I finish my first edition... and his book(s) will be far less fantastical.

Easily the most often used Venn diagram in the history of all things played with a ball. There's not a close second.

Hopefully, it's "just" a meniscectomy for J.J. McCarthy. That would get him back around the end of September -- around Week 4 or 5.

The AL Central is the first division with three 60-win teams this season. That's what sharing a division with a team like the White Sox (8-32 vs. AL Central) will do. Plus the Guardians, Royals, and Twins are pretty good.

Oh, man. Rest in peace, Willie.
We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Willie Mays, one of the most exciting all-around players in the history of our sport. Mays was a two-time MVP, 24-time All-Star, 12-time Gold Glove Award winner, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In commemoration of "The Catch" as perhaps the most famous play in the history of the Fall Classic, the World Series MVP Award was named in his honor in 2017. Mays was 93 years old.
