Hey Kevin, really glad that you still have a platform to share your awesome work! In fact, I think the visual/written form of your adjusted scores is easier to digest than the spoken version. I especially like seeing EPA and luck broken down into the different facets of the game.
Small suggestion: I think the table would be more intuitive with the home and away columns flipped. Every scoring ticker shows the home team on the right and it's messing with my brain to see them on the left here.
Hey, Adam. Thanks for reading. Yeah, maybe I should flip them. I think though I'd still want to have the advantage columns as home - away EPA. Appreciate the suggestion!
Though it didn't last long, doing the fantasy pod with Ian was some of the most fun I had at PFF. He'd do all the work preparing notes, then I'd show up and interrupt him constantly with fake breaking news and bad catchphrases. What can I say, Ninja gets it!
Tough because it was so integrated into PFF stuff: projections, etc. I'm going to try and reword the code for those pieces and the Showdown stuff. Might set up a different site though with a different subscription for DFS/fantasy stuff.
That's the plan. Hopefully getting full authorization today. Will try to pod on Thurs or Fri and then I already have a guest lined up for next week: Chase Stuart the founder of Football Perspective. OG legend for football stats work.
That sucks what happened, Kevin, but sounds like you're in good spirits. Your stuff is great and I'll follow wherever!
Side note: Could you get big Ben Baldwin on the pod? I feel like the Russ/Geno/Carroll stuff deserves a deep dive and you would be awesome at it. Also, you two have great chemistry. When you were breaking down the bad analytical teams, I was laughing out loud. (This probably says more about my sense of humor, but I really enjoyed it!)
Thanks for reading Colin. Yeah, I'm doing well. Actually kind of excited to get to do my own thing, even if it's short-lived and I end up at another firm soon.
I'll wrangle Ben on the pod again soon. Will be hilarious to have the Seahawks marching towards the playoffs and Ben unable to display any enthusiasm. I'm sure the Russ slander has taken its toll.
Great work as always!
Great article Kevin! Going to miss the video version of unexpected points but keep killing it and can’t wait to continue to read ur substack 🔥
Plan is to have a youtube channel for the pod. Nothing on there yet, but I'll try to do a solo pod later this week and connect to the youtube channel on streamyard. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrb9wsaO1uNFfxUMUJxc42g

Excellent Article. Will miss you on the pod with Ian. Hope all is well!

Agree 100%. Loved what you brought to the show. #ninjagetsit
Great insights, Kevin. Here Marco, from Mexico. Big fan of your work.
Thanks, Marco!
Thank you legend!
👊👊
Thanks, Matthew!
Nice read.
Hey Kevin will you still be doing your DFS data dive: Highest fantasy football ceilings of NFL articles somewhere?
Tough because it was so integrated into PFF stuff: projections, etc. I'm going to try and reword the code for those pieces and the Showdown stuff. Might set up a different site though with a different subscription for DFS/fantasy stuff.
Great article, hope you land on your feet.
Will the pod continue on the same feed?
That's the plan. Hopefully getting full authorization today. Will try to pod on Thurs or Fri and then I already have a guest lined up for next week: Chase Stuart the founder of Football Perspective. OG legend for football stats work.
And when I say OG legend I mean doing stats-based football analysis for the last 10 years, which is longer than 99.9% of people
