It's often said that BYU is a special place. As a former player there, Zubin Mehenti asked me why...

The closest thing to a guarantee play call is a QB sneak on 4th and 1 and no college team has a better QB for it than BYU and yet they refused to do it twice and failed both attempts. This was a 30 point dominant win that denying simple decisions turned into just 14 pt victory.
Respectively senator it is true for one very narrow definition of “science” which is “sleep science” but runs counter to all the other things that we know is good for health: more vitamin D, spending more time outside, being more active. “Science” is much more broad than sleep.
Senator Cotton is right. Permanent Daylight Savings has been tried and Americans didn’t like it. The better way is permanent Standard Time because it’s based on science. No dark mornings, it keeps our time in sync with the Sun, and no more changing the clocks. Arizona has been on Standard Time year round since 1968 without issue.

Double Stuf Oreos aren't double stuffed. A high school math teacher in Queensbury, New York had his class weigh 10 of each kind, then weigh the plain wafers separately and subtract them out. Double Stuf came in at 1.86 times the filling of a regular Oreo. Mega Stuf came in at 2.68.
Nabisco said the recipe calls for double the creme and they weren't familiar with what happened in the classroom. Insider ran the same test later and got about the same number.

Sources: The NFL will provide clarity to clubs later today regarding league rules governing player eligibility that have been in place and remain unaltered. A player that goes back to college this season will be prohibited from signing with an NFL team this year.
A player signed to an NFL contract who is subsequently cut is a free agent. He may sign with another NFL club, the CFL or return to college, but that player is considered a free agent and will not be subject to a future draft.

This is not a comment directed at @throwthedamball (great follow, definitely check out his work) but rather #sportsanalytics community: flipping axes so that upper right corner is considered the best part should be a #datavizcrime! We want LOWER sacks/pressures!
When people say that “science” favors standard time they are really saying “sleep science” and that is true. Health is much more than sleep. Evening daylight scientifically is a huge bonus (for kids and adults) to mental health and physical health. 1/2
I still think people are underdiscussing Mbappé's world cup career so far.
In his 16 starts at the World Cup, France is
- 15 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw (penalty shootouts officially are draws).
- '22 Final only one that went extra time
- 18 goals (only 2 pens/0 free kicks)
We're so excited about our majority acquisition in ETB Miners in Essen, Germany. They are the Pro B champions and will be competing in Pro A this upcoming season and we have goals much bigger than that!

On Thursday night, Eric DeCosta and the Ravens will try to predict the future. Again.
On the rise of predictive draft models across the NFL, and what makes the best crystal balls possible, with insights via @SethWalder, @SabinAnalytics and Ran Carthon. thebanner.com/sports/ravens-…
Since I'm not @espn anymore, I am only speculating here but it seems to me that people are increasingly using the "smart" bracket to simulate via BPI/ESPN Analytics. Public picked Duke, UM, & UF very close to BPI #. Public higher on Arizona, lower on Houston.
Ecological regression fallacy. Correlations of averages are always much higher than individual data points (which would be each individual drive).
. @Marriott what is the point of Titanium status for a global brand if I can’t change my reservation without a fee to another place because I didn’t do it by the day before a drug cartel ran rampant at that location?
