Rudest Fans
If you follow college football at all, you no doubt noticed SI.com's recent nationwide poll of fans, which ascertained all sorts of information about which teams fans hate the most, how often they go to games, how much time they spend tailgating, and which team has the rudest fans. It was this ...

More Than Just Scorers
Yeah, I was pretty surprised to see his name there, too.

Index
When I compile the data for the attendance, I do it on a 1 through 41 game basis for all 30 teams. I find that makes it easier to compare the numbers from seasons past, especially when calculating per-game averages. For example, to say that the Grizzlies are averaging 12,096 per game is ...

I'll have some graphs and such on Monday (too few games to generate anything worth looking at thus far), but here's some short notes, Harper's Index style of what's happened so far. Number of times the Jazz failed to sell out the Delta Center in their last 164 regular season games: 1 Number of ...

Action
I suppose there are a few ways to look at the election of Seattle’s new mayor, Mike McGinn, at least as to how his election affects the reintroduction of the NBA to the city: McGinn is, on the surface, less of a supporter of the NBA than his opponent, Joe Mallahan. This fact is troubling to ...

Last Man Standing
I have had, for some time now, a rather bizarre fascination with the remnants of long-deceased franchises. There is no rational explanation for this obsession, although I imagine it began while collecting baseball cards in the early 1980s. As much as I enjoyed discovering the nuances of Jim ...
