I’m gonna need the number in this as it doesn’t make sense.


Link is a few posts up.

They both had a weak 1995 (.250 and .253) and a good 1996 (over .300) but Jeter had a lot fewer at bats in the bad year and a lot more at bats in the good year. So the bad year weighted more heavily in Justice's overall average and the good season weighted more toward Jeter's.

That was the exact same year that the Raiders went 6-0 in the same division....and also missed the playoffs. The Matt Cassel Chiefs won the division that year.

In 1991,Philadelphia's defense finished the season ranked 1st in the NFL in fewest passing yards, rushing yards, and total yards allowed also, the Eagles' defense led the NFL in sacks and fumble recoveries and tied for the league lead in takeaways. They missed the playoff's

The NFC East was stacked that year.

That was also the last time the Lions won a playoff game and was the Lions only real playoff win in the last 64 years (the won the Playoff Bowl for 3rd place in the 1960s).

Yards but not points, they were bad in turnovers. They had two games in which they had over 500 yards of total offense. Their TO margin in those two games was -6.

2019 Seahawks allowed 398 points and scored 405 but went 11-5. They had 12 one score games. They went 10-2 in those games. In games decided by 2 scores or more, they were 1-3.

Corey Maggette once scored 17 points in only 10 mins of court time for the Bucks. He was 17-20 from the FT line and 0-2 from the floor.

Good times. Coke Head Mauk passed for 20 yards and we still waxed that arse.

KO return TD.
Punt Return TD.
Fumble Return TD.
A pick 6.

Frank Ganz is considered the greatest special teams coach of all-time for a reason.

The 1960 World Series is famous for Bill Mazeroski's walk off homer to win Game 7 and the title.

But that moment has obscured a statistical anomaly. The Yankees scored twice as many runs as the Pirates in the Series and still lost. The Yankees won their 3 games by 13, 12 and 10 runs. The Pirates won their 4 games by 1, 1, 3, and finally 1 (Mazeroski's walk off).

The Yankees hit .338 with 10 HRs and 27 extra base hits. The Pirates hit .256 with only 4 HRs. Yankees pitchers had an ERA of 3.54 including two complete game shutouts. Pittsburg pitchers had an ERA of 7.11.

Please. He had another top 50 all timer with him the whole time. Still probably the greatest, but it’s more complicated than 6-0

Wisconsin lost to Penn State this year, despite holding the ball for over 43 minutes and making 29 first downs to Penn State's 11.
