Wish them the best of luck, but if those numbers people mess up another sport the way they have baseball we are going to be suffering. But the other day on some football telecast I heard something about some team scoring more points in the last three or four minutes of the first half when they trailed by X number and there was something else. And my eyes, ears, and hands glazed over. That Alan Turing should be ashamed of himself. Or maybe I am alone in thinking it was a much more enjoyable time without all the computer-generated numbers.Sports analytics is becoming somewhat of "new industry", I think. My daughter's beau (an IE), who's graduating in the spring with her, is trying to get hired by one of these companies here in ATL. There are more than one of analytics companies are recruiting GT IE's, I understand. I think by changing their methodologies, they are trying to bring something "new and fresh" to the market.
