“Win Probability Added by player due to made/missed shots, getting fouled, made/missed free throws, and turning the ball over”, or, in layman’s terms, like 25-30% of what a player does on the basketball court. I like advanced stats, but this one is awful.

NOTEWORTHY:

Is he necessarily wrong, though? The fact that he’s a terrible person doesn’t make him a terrible boxer, it just makes us want him to be a terrible boxer.

In fairness to the Rams, their O-line was gave up the third most stuffs (of running plays) and 8th most sacks in the league last year, and they just invested heavily in an injury-prone running back and an injury-prone quarterback. But yeah perhaps 3 is a bit excessive

They’re not saying “Boo”, they’re saying “RedFOOOOO!!”

I remember back in the good ole days when the only thing La’El Collins was to me was a competitor with HaHa Clinton-Dix and Jadeveon Clowney for best name in the ESPN top 100 football recruit list for 2011. I liked him better that way.

Etou, Frank Haith?

I watched this game having been concussed recently, and the effort of looking at the computer screen for 90 minutes made me woozy. But no, yeah, sure, let’s put him back in he seems fine.

As a relatively young lifelong Celtics fan, it is so great to see vintage clutch Pierce getting this recognition after it seemed like he was destined to faithfully toil away and make clutch shots in relative obscurity for a shitty team. Dude’s just as clutch as anyone who’s been in the league the past 15 years and if…

I don’t know, it looks to me like he’s still tied with Jeremy Lin

It would be classic Arsenal to lose this game

Didn’t something similar happen to Bo Jackson, only instead of it being a bone in his wrist, it was entire leg?

I'm sorry, I read "ridiculously shorthanded" and then I heard "Muller" "Lewandowski" and "Gotze". I'm sure lots of teams would like to be so ridiculously shorthanded.

this decreases my level of sympathy for Josh Gordon

I know we get no sympathy now and it’s all worked out OK, but to a young Red Sox fan like myself the Aaron Boone home run off Wakefield in ‘03 was absolutely heartbreaking. First time that sports made me cry.

March 19, 2013: Russ Smith scores 40% of Louisville’s points in an 8 point victory over Oregon in the Sweet 16 en route to the National Championship.

I feel genuinely sorry for you that you know enough about the 2014/2015 Lakers to write this long article about them, but didn't know who Russ Smith played for in college. Those are some misplaced basketball-related priorities.

This has been a specialty of his for a while

Question: What is the American Sports Network? Also, go Harvard.

70% of the Big 12 is a 7 seed or lower in the NCAA tournament right now according to Lunardi. 9 of its 10 teams are in the kenpom top 100. 8 of its 10 teams have been in the top 25 at some point in 2015. Its kenpom rating is currently the best that any conference has had since 2011. Furthermore, this is the 2nd best…
