  1. The assumption is that the product the teams buy is the same product they offer to the consumer. This is just naive.
  2. Why do you assume that the highly subjective crap they put out for public consumption bear any resemblance to the data products they sell to the NFL or college teams? If I am running a multi billion dollar company and am contracting out analytical analysis to another company I am sure as hell going to require a NDA that keeps the analysis/methods proprietary and define in detail what analysis I need done. The assumption that what they put out for public consumption is the same data products they sell to NFL or major college programs is extremely naive.
  3. I would be curious to see what YouTubes automated closed caption would make of that.
  4. You are dreaming Don. The demographic trends don't support "youngsters" being all that interested. The additional PITA getting in and out is not going to help. P.S. Yankee games average 42,000 so it is not relevant.
  5. That was pretty good money back in the day but nothing compared to what they are paid now. It is equivalent to about $150,000 in today's dollars.
  6. Quite misleading since they are 9th best in net yards (beneficial yards - against yards).
  7. Mostly because it wouldn't work for precise ball placement. The NFL does in fact use RFID combined with other technologies. The players as well as the balls all have RFID tags.They have been doing this since the 2017 season.
  8. Completely different situation with NASCAR. The distance between transponders is such that there is no chance that more than one transponder will respond at any given time. Knowing the amount of time it takes for the car to go between 2 transponders would allow you to calculate the average speed and therefore position. The error would be caused because the car may be accelerating/de-accelerating between sensors. Not sure how you could possibly make that work.
  9. 1. Highest seed in any playoff game is the home team. 2. The 6th seed can never host a game because it is always the lowest seed. 3. 5th seed will only host a game if they are playing the 6th seed. 4. The only way the 5th and 6th seeds play a playoff game against each other is if both make it to the conference championship.
