“Best player available” is inexorably theory-laden.

@benj_robinson Will you be writing up how the round went (biggest reach, best value, player by player rank vs expected)?

@Tim_McManus My family sat bemused while I argued with the waiter about positional draft value and whether or not AJ should be traded. 😀

I was at dinner in Northern California tonight and the waiter made a point of bringing up @Tim_McManus excellent reporting (my son was wearing an Eagles shirt and the waiter was a birds fan). As I told him: McManus’s reporting is unimpeachable.

Best of luck to Eagles fan / Artemis II Mission Evaluation Room Manager and Orion Systems Engineering & Integration Manager @jhutt75. I last saw Jason on Bourbon Street late at night on Feb 9, 2025. Today is a culmination of decades of hard work - it's so incredibly exciting.

@LesBowen I was in Salt Lake for 2002, after terrible tournament losses in Nagano 98 and the World Cup of Hockey 96. The win for Canadian fans was a relief on par with the 2017 Eagles.

I’d love to see the US finally win men’s hockey gold again, but I don’t think many Americans really understand how much this means to our beleaguered northern neighbors. Imagine if NFL football was an Olympic sport and there was a team USA that wasn’t assured of always being best

Don't believe what xenophobes tell you: financially America is net ahead on immigrants. They're entitled to dislike people from certain countries if they want to (and are willing to admit that's what drives them), but the economic argument is bullshit.
David J. Bier@David_J_Bier

For decades, nativists have sold America this narrative that immigrant welfare is behind our deficits and debt. This figure shows how absurd that is. This is all government expenditures, federal, state, and local, for the last 3 decades. Immigrants are not to blame:

It's not EMF or spooky woo-woo action at a distance. It's because the Niners proudly ignore and eschew modern sports science. They brag about it! This is not a mystery, it's baked into their methodology. Please, for the love of Francis Bacon, trust the science.

Let’s talk about Kyle Shanahan and injuries. In 2023, the Niners bragged that their practices are more intense, longer and more frequent than the other 31 teams. Prior to 2025, they were 32nd in adjusted games lost over Shanahan’s 8 seasons, 23rd or worse in 7 out of 8 seasons.

The house money effect is a cognitive bias that distorts decision-making. Some people understand; others don’t. IYKYK.

I have a 118-player sample from the last ten drafts classes In that sample, Jalen Hurts ranks 11th in pct of throws to that area of the field in his last year of college (16.7%), the 90th percentile result His passer rating of 119.2 on those throws is above 80th percentile
