All Todd drops is bangers
Last week I had the unexpected (and unbelievably neat) opportunity to chat with a former NBA coach about which analytics questions interest him. He mentioned that he was skeptical of the presumed infallibility of the end-of-quarter 2-for-1 strategy. So, I took a closer look.

Playoff leverage for week 7, sorted by most impactful games. I will follow up with a couple of notes on how to compute playoff leverage, because a lot of other numbers that you'll see are larger by a factor of 1.3-1.6

At long last we have finally created the remote control war pretending to be a video game from Orson Scott Card’s classic “Don’t Create The Remote Control War Pretending To Be A Video Game”
Ukrainian-developed FPV drone simulator “Remote Reaper: FPV Drone” has officially left Early Access, with version 1.0 now available on Steam. Developed in collaboration with military pilots, the simulator focuses on combat FPV drone operations and introduces several features in its full release, including armored vehicles with modeled vulnerable zones, electronic warfare effects that can disrupt video feeds and control signals during the final stage of an attack, and a customizable drone editor. Version 1.0 also adds configurable weather conditions, custom mission editing, real-time flights with other pilots and a racing mode. Players can use FPV hardware or a gamepad with realistic flight physics, or opt for simplified controls using a keyboard and mouse. #RemoteReaper #FPV #FPVDrone #DroneSimulator

Great example of why prediction markets on player transactions should be illegal: • Trade was “finalized” Friday night • Media leaks trade (without destination) on Saturday morning • $1.1m in trade volume on Kalshi predicting the final destination • Trade is announced Sunday
Texans GM Nick Caserio told @SethCPayne & @SeanTPendergast on @957thefan that he initiated the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade talks with Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort a couple of weeks ago. The deal was finalized Friday but delayed at Ossenfort’s request. Caserio was adamant that the outcome of the Titans game had ZERO impact on the trade going through.

This is a neat way to convey the uncertainty in predictive ratings
How Many Tossup Games Would You Have? Once you get outside the past top ~15 rated teams, everything gets so condensed. Really trying to highlight how much of a gradient teams are, rather than "good or bad"

Week WhoTheFuckCares is what Circa is calling their new special Week 18 "holiday" pick, where you have to choose a team that's already clinched a playoff spot.
my sims show both the Circa and Splash survivors resolving in Week WhoTheFuckCares

I don't workpost a ton, but I really like the new Splash/Circa leaderboards that @JasonLisk & I made. Splash: poolgenius.teamrankings.com/… Circa: poolgenius.teamrankings.com/… I had a ton of fun w/ the analysis, and it was challenge to get good enough sims to run in a short enough time.

Truly unbelievable how bad NFL+ streaming is. Impossible to watch a game on either my laptop or TV without it devolving into horrible stuttering by the end. Glad I signed up for the monthly instead of the yearly, so I can cancel with only $15 blown.

Haha apparently the app agreed. It just crashed with about a minute and a half left in the game.
