Also known as “p-hacking”, the social sciences in particular are rife with this problem — and we’re going to see a lot more of it as more data becomes available to more people without the proper statistical training.

I’ma take this space to represent for Dawn Staley. Second black woman to coach her team to the NCAA WBB title, South Carolina’s first title in WBB. She’s the first coach to win the championship who was once the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player when she led UVA (ugh) to the final in 1991 (they didn’t win, but game…

It’s official; I’m old because this is silly.

So can we take a second to give a shoutout to the security guard here? It’s very, very clear by how fast the refs swarmed around and split her off that she didn’t know that this was planned— which means tiny little her saw big-ass Gronk hop the barricade and went “welp, this is what I’m doing tonight” and dove right…

A toddler might say to you, “Vroom vroom, I am a truck!”

I’m probably the target audience US Soccer wants to engage. Don’t currently go out of my way to watch, unless it’s World Cup time.

My Dad will call me up tomorrow around 9 am when he’s sitting down at the office computer reading his morning news just to tell me about how something similar happened in 1968 with the Jets v Raiders game. I’m 32 years old and he’s told me about this game at least a dozen times. It’s always come up kinda randomly, but…

You may see them all!
