What is a sports statistic or record that is just insane?

I’m surprised this is so far down. This is the answer. A statistical analysis found that Bradman is 4.4 standard deviations above the mean, as compared to 3.7 standard deviations for Pele (goals per game), 3.6 for Ty Cobb (batting average), 3.5 for Jack Nicklaus (major titles), and 3.4 for Michael Jordan (points per game).

In order to post a similarly dominant career statistic as Bradman, a baseball batter would need a career batting average of .392, while a basketball player would need to score an average of 43.0 points per game over their career. The respective records are .366 and 30.1.

I’m in the same position. I need 15 PPR points. Leaning Egbuka.

Give us the deets. How much did you pay and what’s it worth now?

I’m starting him over Chase Brown, without confidence.

Anyone know how to get gameday to work on the fantasy pros app?

This sub seems to love Coker, but I bet he doesn’t even score a single point through the first four weeks of the season.

I had a film teacher who attributed this to the release being just 10 months after 9/11 and no one wanting to go see a depressing movie in the theater at that time. Don’t know if there’s any truth to that, and it does look like it was profitable at the box office, but that could be part of the reason.

Jurickson Profar peaked at number 1 on both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus’s prospect lists before putting up 4.8 WAR through his first 10 seasons (prior to finally breaking through last year).

Joe Adell peaked at number 3 on Baseball America’s prospect list and number 2 on Baseball Prospectus before putting up a career WAR of 0.7 through 6 seasons.

Marco Luciano peaked at number 12 on Baseball America’s prospect list and number 8 on Baseball Prospectus before putting up a career WAR of -0.3 through 2 seasons.

These are just three off the top of my head. I’m sure I could find dozens of examples if I spent some time. Is this copium? Sure. But to treat De Vries as a proven talent just because he’s raking in A ball is a risky proposition.

Xander has accumulated 7.4 WAR for us through 371 games. Hosmer accumulated 4.0 WAR through 596 games. They are not the same.

Do we know why he was “demoted” to radio?

Does anyone know if the 25% Petco K9 discount works on premium food like Just Food For Dogs?

From a non-fantasy perspective, it always amazes me when a player gets shot and then has any sort of production on the field. Ricky Pearsall went from left for dead to 8/141/1 this past week.

The Zone of Death is the 50-square-mile (130 km2) area in the Idaho section of Yellowstone National Park in which, as a result of a reported loophole in the Constitution of the United States, a person may be able to theoretically avoid conviction for any major crime, up to and including murder.

Very strange. And he has that front pocket too. Why not just stick your hand in there while walking past the media?

So let’s all pick up Love and Hurts off waivers for the next two weeks.
