But it looks like he really won’t be going anywhere until next winter. He said he’ll step down when his successor is elected, and here’s the latest word on the timing of that:

—“Can’t say anything right now.”

For months, my daughter was addicted to "Stampy" Minecraft videos. The guy posts one a day, I think, on Youtube, but there was an archive of them stretching back over a year by the time she discovered him, so she could just binge on those videos all day long.

Shanahan has done nothing but point fingers since he left. In that 90 minute interview, he never once took personal responsibility for any of the failings of his Redskins tenure. It was all other peoples' fault.

I agree about the "mechanics and decision making" part, though. He definitely has work to do.

That was the point of Dan Steinberg's tweet above: he's saying that Shanahan has obviously been the anonymous source shit-talking RG3 in all those stories.

Except all the things you're reading about him that sound arrogant and unclassy are coming from Shanahan, a very bitter man who apparently blames Griffin for his own failings as the Redskins head coach. He's been planting these nasty little tidbits (usually in the form of anoymous quotes) in Redskins reporters'…

The point of Dan Steinberg's tweet at the end there — in case it's not clear to those who haven't been following all the Redskins coverage that closely in the past few years — is that Shanahan is obviously the source of most (if not all) of the anonymous shit-talking quotes contain all those RG3-bashing stories and…

So I guess I should stop posting this now?

It makes it seem less signficant to say "two fumbles per season," but we're looking at data spanning five whole seasons. So this isn't a one season disparity, it's the average disparity over a five-year period. In that context, it become quite significant.

But looking at number of fumbles per season isn't as meaningful, because some teams run a lot more offensive plays the other teams do during the course of the season. And the Patriots, being an offensive powerhouse, run a lot more plays per game (and hence, per season) than the teams to. That's why "offensive plays…

To clarify my comment above, here is the text that accompanying that (very damning) chart I'm discussing. Sharp makes it very clear (see the text I've boldfaced) that this data represents all plays, by all teams, since 2010:

No, in the first chart reproduced in the post above, the statistics shown are for all teams — both the teams that play in domed stadiums at home, as well as those that don't. And it also represents all games played by those teams (although it's true it only shows fumbles lost — not all fumbles; something I didn't…

For all of this analysis, you still haven't debunked the central fact uncovered in Warren Sharp's original post: Since 2010, the Patriots have fumbled the ball at a strikingly lower rate than the rest of the league. The first chart above — showing how aberrant their 187-plays-for-fumble rate is vs. the norm for the…

"How about warning the people that are going to riot?"

Also conspicuous about King's statement is that it doesn't explain the "some Ravens officials" phrase in his original report. If his source really just cited "league officials," as he claims, why did he refer to "the other videotape the NFL and some Ravens officials have seen"?

[never mind]

He just looks like more of a natural "pocket passer" somehow. Griffin has that "running QB" look. (He can probably dance well too.)

I'm a Charter customer, so as usual, I'm screwed.
