Show Notes

I’m a fan of Neil Paine’s data driven sports Substack and you should be too. Neil’s got a gift for finding sports mysteries and probing deeper. This conversation went so many places and I could have kept it going hours longer but for the hard out.

Topics include but aren’t limited to…

* The data driven case for Caitlin Clark getting left off Team USA

* If Clark’s teammates are consistently dropping the passes, are the turnovers her fault?

* Differences between the WNBA and NBA

* Was Tim Duncan underrated?

* Should NFL player stats be more respected by NFL analysts?

* A sneaky reason for why Tom Brady is the GOAT

* Will announcer Brady teach us about his greatness?

* Why can’t teams beat the NFL Draft?

* Do we actually know beforehand when an NBA Draft is a “weak draft”?

* Does MLB showing us “catch probability” undermine our enjoyment?

* Why can’t Canadian teams win a Stanley Cup?

* Are some great players actually chokers?
