I don’t know about you, but I have often wondered what the Olympics would be like with American football. Sure, there’s soccer, there’s hockey, but past that, there’s not a lot of super-competitive and fun to watch team sports. On another note, I was recently thinking about designing an entire leagues-worth of uniforms for a… [Read more…]

Not in the slightest. Lots of grumbling over Twitter tonight about how classy the Coyotes fans were to give the team a standing O after the game– it was undoubtedly a classy move. It’s also the first time they’ve been cared about all season. Sure, there are loyal fans in Phoenix. And I get that… [Read more…]

I promised you some funny stuff. Now, mind you, I found the Doan hit a bit dirty. This isn’t the first time I’ve been attacked by a few Coyotes fans who are mad about losing games, so I decided to keep it professional and stick to facts– which apparently is too hard for these guys.… [Read more…]

STUPIDMASCOT

Don’t know how it took me this long to see this article, but here’s a sad, sad quote from a local sports writer/radio talk guy in Phoenix named Dan Bickley: So, a plea to all Red Wings fans living in the Valley: If you must go to the games in Arizona, please wear white.  We don’t want outsiders thinking… [Read more…]

Yes, I think it’s logical to look at trends to assess things– as most people do. So, with a game tonight, and surely a lot of “RED WINGS SUCK” chants coming from Coyotes “fans,” I figured I’d prove a point I’d been arguing for several years– we have better fans. A couple things: According to… [Read more…]

Get it? I think I’ve spent quite a lot of time being nice to the Coyotes over the years. Maybe I’m a bit of an apologist on their behalf, because let’s be honest, I have spent a majority of my life in Phoenix, and it’s nice to have a winning team around this city every… [Read more…]

Because I am one who loves to make sense of things using data and numbers to get a point across, I decided to embark on a (slightly alarming) statistical journey. So what did you do? Two things: one, I calculated the team’s overall performance against the 9 other potential playoff teams in the West. Secondly,… [Read more…]
