One thing hockey analytics teaches you is that process matters a lot more than one good or bad result.

@SimmSmoke @LunixTwin Dri-FIT is Nike. Nike owns the spec. Fanatics manufactures what Nike designs. Those are two very different things.

@LunixTwin Fanatics makes the cheapest Dri-FIT shirts on planet Earth! All sports leagues have partnered with them to push their cheap junk! It’s the most annoying thing on Earth. Any other clothing company on Earth makes better products!

Michael Rubin reveals Fanatics does $6,000,000,000 in merch sales a year "Look, we're in three businesses." "Our first business where we started is what we call Fanatics Commerce, that's our merchandise business." "We own Lids, the hat retailer." "We own Mitchell & Ness, uh, we own Fanatics which operates, you know, obviously all of the different leagues, you know, the NFL Shop, the NBA Store." "And we sell, you know, more than six billion dollars of mostly fan apparel and headwear, okay? But, but, uh, you know, you know, more than 100 million units of merchandise a year." "That's a very physical business, okay?" "But AI is helping us to do things more effectively. In the collectibles business, AI is going to help us to be more effective. And then our third business is the online sports betting iGaming business. So, you know, for me, we still do a lot of physical things, but there's so many things from the digital world that help us to be better." "Yeah, no, but I love that collaboration and thinking about it that way."

Spent part of the evening tweaking a visualization that probably only a handful of people will ever appreciate. Worth it.

@theburnouts8etj This is literally how the sports x culture crossover happened. Not by accident.

The final battle 😤

Sunday build session while replaying highlights in the background for motivation

Post game conversation somehow became a full breakdown of Canes line combinations

Rec game today and everybody immediately turned it into playoff level intensity

Ready for tonight 😤

All in.

@RunGoodLife If it's this cooked maybe just step away. The hobby will survive without the doomposting.

Can't grade your cards without paying hundreds of dollars. Can't win a PC card without getting shilled up to your max bid by a zero feedback bidder. Cant get a box of Sapphire without the expressed written consent of Jared Bleznick or Grant Telford. WE'RE COOKED, CHAT.

Spent some time rebuilding a visualization and somehow made it both cleaner and faster

Can you hear that? That's the sound of a shutout win.

NET 👏 FRONT 👏 PRESENCE 👏

Good morning The #Canes are one win away from the Stanley Cup Final.

Kept dinner simple tonight because nobody wanted to miss puck drop

@jfield1869 @DomSramaty Hard to call them hacks when the organization whose players actually wear the product keeps saying the opposite publicly and all of the players associations have signed off on the gear.

@DomSramaty Fanatics sucks so bad 😞 can't believe the NHL would sign am official merch deal with those hacks 🤢I hope the contract is up soon

The NHL is allergic to good championship merch… what on earth is this ugly hat???

AHHHH MISTA SVECHNIKOV 🗣️

“If we have to go to overtime every game, we're ready for that.” No strangers to OT wins this postseason, the #Canes confidence in tight contests led to another bonus hockey victory in Game 3. Read » n.carhur.com/4vgR4Zk
