@timkawakami Maybe I'm missing it. But ARE there any stats guys who don't accept Purdy? I feel like the Stats guys are trying to caveat how insanely high he performs on all these metrics (QBR, QBI, QBert)
@timkawakami Worth mentioning that it's far easier to NOT grow/mature if you're a billionaire NFL owner (lots and lots of examples of those). They're not accountable to anyone. So credit to Jed, who I was pretty skeptical of post the Harbaugh years.
@timkawakami As someone who turned on the game 10 minutes late and was bewildered as to what was going on, Dray's chokehold looked really really bad. And I'm a GSW fan. League won't (and probably shouldn't) be soft on this based on past history.
@timkawakami This blows my mind. Moving from a terrible owner (Cohan) to a good one (Lacob) has made every NBA team incredibly richer, both directly and indirectly. They should *want* competent ownership not even altruistically, just to line their own pockets.
@timkawakami It does seem like you have long felt is that Fisher is simply incompetent. One issue I have with journalists is they don't say that directly. I think you felt that about Singletary and Tomsula - they weren't up to the task, and it's obvious - but not to us! Why not say that?
@timkawakami I feel like saying they’re a bad road team is understating at this point; these P-Ds (and records) are bananas. Has any team gone this late in the season with such extreme splits?
@timkawakami Amazed there isn't a deep-dive investigative article on this. What's the rate of major injuries relative to grass? What's the cost of re-sodding versus these injuries? Where's the NFLPA and what's the owners' excuse? Unlike Thurs/17 games, this doesn't mean an increase in revenue
@timkawakami obviously not the same, but the Ime story makes me wonder - who would leak this? Wouldn’t everyone (including Dray and JP) rather have kept this quiet? Not like Dray’s other blowups which happened in public view.
@timkawakami I don't follow the 49ers like I used to, but I don't recall Deebo being perceived as this special/versatile a player until really the last 10 weeks of THIS season. Am I mis-remembering? Incredible jump in stature/league-wide relevance.
@zeynep I may have missed it - with the launch of the Excelsior Passport, have you written on the wisdom and pros/cons of Vaccine Passports for society writ large? Seems like the perfect intersection of your expertise.
@timkawakami Question since I've gone from Rabid to Casual 9ers fan over the past 5 years. Based on this article, is Kittle the most valuable (non-QB) on the 49ers since...TO? Better than anyone Harbaugh-era? And the best in the York era? Not challenging; legit curious how good he is
@BrooklynBrewery I live in Bed-Stuy would love to get some Special Effects. Can't find it anywhere on the store finder! Where can I find in Brooklyn or can I buy at the Brewery?
@timkawakami Has anyone written the definitive Klay draft day piece? Lots obviously on Curry and Dray for good reason - would love to hear how/why Klay fell to 11 and what Warriors/others thought of him.
Big thanks to our “friends of Trinity” for attending the second client and alumni reception in New York City last month! We look forward to more events in the future!
