We think this chart is a lot of fun too, historic trajectories for all 48 teams since the first World Cup in 1930.

Dylan Harper's 84 points this series are the most by a player age 20 or younger in a Western Conference final since Magic Johnson had 87 vs Sonics in 1980

[Matt @sixringsofsteeI]

Wemby is 22
Castle is 21
Harper is 20

This is going to be going on for a long, long time

Some people in SF are offering $1M above asking price and it's still not considered competitive, said a real estate agent.

Here's a crazy @d1baseball nugget that I stumbled upon...

In 2026, there were only 9 teams (2.9%) that avg'd at least 5 IP from their starting P.

3 are tourney teams - Auburn, Louisiana, Northern IL.

In 2021, 76 teams avg'd 5 IP (26%)

In 2017, 137 teams (!!!) avg'd 5 IP (46%)

Along the way, he says, “it helped my well-being.”

Why you'd swing at a slider in the other batter's box.

US study found that English professors got much better student evaluations than maths professors.

"Professors teaching quantitative courses are far more likely not to receive tenure, promotion, and/or merit pay when their performance is evaluated against common standards."

ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.
