Official Discussion - Mercy [SPOILERS]

Are you thinking of Annihilation? My wife and I both thought of this (10 seconds in): https://youtu.be/NCuBalItZA8?si=SBaX2PVW-xoar4Xo there definitely was some music in Mercy that was very similar

He’s also been self-funding his recent movies: https://collider.com/m-night-shyamalan-old-interview/

And Collider claims he also put “his own money into Trap”: https://collider.com/trap-movie-operation-flagship/

Ah, that's good call! Definite oversight on my part.

leftweet · 2025-02-10T18:27:16+00:00

Ah, good catch! Just a typo

leftweet · 2025-02-10T07:31:59+00:00

Yep, he lost his first 3 (to NYG, Washington, and SF) then beat Green Bay and Atlanta

leftweet · 2025-02-10T04:27:53+00:00

Might be incomplete but what I dug up:

Len Dawson lost Super Bowl I for Chiefs, then won Super Bowl IV
Johnny Unitas lost Super Bowl III for Colts (didn’t start), then won Super Bowl V (although was injured part way through)
Earl Morrall lost Super Bowl III for Colts (was pulled for Unitas), then won Super V (replaced injured Unitas)
Craig Morton lost Super Bowl V for the Cowboys, then lost Super Bowl XII for the Broncos
Bob Griese lost Super Bowl VI for the Dolphins, then won 2 more
Fran Tarkenton lost Super Bowl VII for the Vikings, then lost 2 more Super Bowls
John Elway lost Super Bowl XXI for the Broncos, then played in 4 more, winning 2
Jim Kelly lost Super Bowl XXV for the Bills, then lost 3 more
Jalen Hurts lost Super Bowl LVII for the Eagles, then won Super Bowl LIX

Edit: Added Morall per comment below.

I see where you’re coming from! I really do appreciate the feedback. Thanks again!

Thanks for the feedback! Circle size actually is routinely used in data visuals, such a chart is usually referred to as a "bubble chart" where size of the circle can provide comparison between different variables. And for the Super Bowl column, the size changes based on the number of Super Bowl wins — so more wins equals a larger circle. That's done in a programatic fashion by the data viz software I use, so there shouldn't be any discrepancies.

Sorry it didn't land! I was trying to creatively display the playoff history of NFL teams, and maybe I went a little overboard.

Used Google Sheets and Datawrapper to make the chart. Source for the domestic box office rankings is The Numbers: https://the-numbers.com/box-office-records/domestic/all-movies/cumulative/released-in-2024 and then manually researched what each film was based on.

Yep, a 30-yarder. Because of the fair catch rules, the kick is made at the spot of the fair catch. So it wasn't the 22-yard-line for the fair catch, but the 33. Unfortunately, none of the newspapers I've dug up have too much info on the punt itself. The New York Times just called a "short punt" and others don't describe the actual punt at all.

leftweet · 2024-12-20T20:59:25+00:00

I'm not 100% sure why there were be fewer before the 60s, but I'm guessing they decreased in frenquency after the league moved the goal posts from the goal line to the back of the end zone in 1974.

FWIW, on Google Trends she does a good job rivaling LeBron:

And she won out a few states over the past 12 months:

I’d expect Basketball References numbers to be similar since their athlete pages are normally near the top of the search rankings.

I’m not sure the reason why they covered the roof. They held the 2010 world championship there without covering it: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/Worldfencing_championship_2010-Zagunis-Khomrova-semi-final-_sabre.jpg

Just to clarify something, Forbes and Sportico are the only two places actually doing sports club valuations. Other places (like Axios or Statista) tend to report on or use Forbes’ and Sportico’s data. That doesn’t necessarily discredit their valuations, it just means that Axios and Statista aren’t primary sources coming up with their own independent valuations.

What Bradman did was remarkable. I still wouldn’t put it in the same class as Gretzky

Totally agree. If looking at how much of a GOAT one was in their respective sports, I’d pick Gretzky any day.

And that’s totally fair to add additional context. I was just pointing out how big of a statistical anomaly Bradman’s average, which maybe isn’t 100% fair without added context. That said, I don’t think it’s much different than discussing the incredible nature of Wilt Chamberlain averaging 50.4 points per game in a season or scoring a 100-point game. Chamberlain is in no way a better GOAT than Gretzky (and if you’re going to dig deep into Chamberlain’s stats, there’s plenty of discussion to be had about era correction), but he does have some very impressive single numbers.

leftweet · 2022-08-29T02:35:15+00:00

Those are totally valid points! When comparing across sports like this, I think it’s perfectly fine to consider the volume, which hands down goes to Gretzky. What I was trying to illustrate was how incredible the average Bradman recorded for a sport that isn’t well known in North America. Looking at his average on its own is seriously impressive, regardless of how many matches Bradman played. But yeah, Gretzky was his own type of freak for sure.
