Quantifying clutch (and anything else that needs it).
I recently shared one of my old articles on Kurt Warner s HOF case, and it s something I d like to keep doing with some of my most important pieces that are no longer accessible on the internet unless you know the exact link and plug it into the Wayback Machine. One of those pieces is from Continue reading Solving the Peyton Manning Playoff Puzzle (2016 Reprint)
Inspired by my recent Hall of Fame case for Russell Wilson and this tweet about the HOF from Kurt Warner, I thought I d upload my old Kurt Warner HOF case that was published in 2014 on a site that no longer exists because it had poor management and couldn t pay its writers. So this is Continue reading Kurt Warner: The Hall of Fame Case (From the 2014 Archives)
Super Bowls are won in the trenches. Defense wins championships. Schedule merchants need not apply. The New England Patriots almost rode their Most Valuable Schedule to the promised land. But in one of the most emphatic repudiations in NFL playoff history, the Patriots were shellacked 29-13 in Super Bowl LX by the Seattle Seahawks. It’s Continue reading 2025 NFL Stat Oddity: Super Bowl LX
I ve already spent too much time writing and thinking about Super Bowl 60 to try to hype it up much more here. So, this is going to be brief, but I m just thinking at 4 AM, about 38 hours from kickoff, at how huge of a difference in legacy talk there is for this game Continue reading NFL 2025 Super Bowl 60 Predictions
Championship Sunday came and went with two close games, not a single fourth-quarter point scored, and that just might be the only formula for how you get a Super Bowl between Sam Darnold and a young Drake Maye doing his best Trent Dilfer impersonation. I told you this was not my AFC, and one terribly Continue reading 2025 NFL Stat Oddity: Conference Championship
Some days it s really hard to get the motivation to talk about football and ignore what s going on in the country. This weekend is one of those times, but I m going to get these picks out before Sunday s games as I always have. That doesn t mean I m not disgusted with ICE and what s happening in Continue reading NFL 2025 Conference Championship Predictions: Not My AFC, Not My President Edition
The 2025 NFL Divisional Round was a mixed bag of a weekend. We had an overtime classic that played out like a Greek tragedy that probably had both locker rooms crying after it was over. We had a total rout that you could have called after the opening kickoff return for a touchdown. Spike their Continue reading 2025 NFL Stat Oddity: Divisional Round
Every NFL team is fairly flawed in 2025. But someone has to win this thing. Someone (me) just slept on the couch for 4 hours and feels wide awake at 7 AM and is writing this very quickly instead of running up to bed to finish this sleep on the eve of the best weekend Continue reading NFL 2025 Divisional Round Predictions: Not-So-Elite Eight Edition
The story all season for the NFL in 2025 was new contenders. The Chiefs, Ravens, and Lions didn’t even make the playoffs. The Eagles didn’t win a playoff game, so we’ll have a new champion. We only have three of the same final eight teams from 2024 (Bills, Rams, and Texans). The Broncos, Seahawks, Patriots, Continue reading 2025 NFL Stat Oddity: Wild Card Weekend
The 2025 NFL season has been so hard to predict that I wish I could find a way to write off all 14 playoff teams. The good news is 13 of them will lose in the next month, and this is the moment where I make that prediction for the last team standing. There are Continue reading NFL 2025 Wild Card Predictions: Path to Super Bowl 60 Edition
