The Patriots this season in the 17 regular games only played 3 games against teams that ended with a 50% or better win rate. They only won one of those games

My cat chicken pays me zero attention and basically my rival for my wives attention. And he is winning. He undermines me at every turn.

We didn’t settle on 5 day test matches until 1979. What if we set a rule that said if the first 2 innings of a test is over inside 3 days then we go to 3 innings each?

A lesson in creating an extra man in defence. At the start of the clip you will notice how I (white knee brace) scan the opposition attack. Shift across to the other side of the ruck. Creating the extra man, and the rest is history. And people say props cant win games.

There is no such thing as a team that punches above its weight. It is simply impossible. An oversimplified version is skill x cohesion = capacity. Coaching is about getting the team to capacity.

Johns: "Invest in your juniors, put a whole lot of money into kids, identify the best kids at 13, 14, 15 & 16, teach them a style of play that is unique to the north of England, piss off all the imports coming in who are reserve-graders in Australia." https://t.co/wM1cyfedhC

Wildcard systems are generally brought in to overcome disparity in conferences. In the NFL teams who lose or have 50% winning records make the playoffs 4% of the time. Since 2012 it would be 52% in the AFL. @AFL

I find it amazing how often we hear long after the praise has died down that teams who have won it all were actually behaving terribly and in-fighting just like everyone else.

Teams sports are not a meritocracy. The best systems win titles.
