The story vs. the result
When does a great explanation actually help us understand a game, and when is it just hindsight?
Sports / The game & the questions
I love sports: the competition, the stories, and the conversations that keep going after the game.
Football / An ongoing learning project
My football-analysis work explores how to test predictions against what actually happened. The project has included a look back at the 2024 NFL season.
For me, the interesting part is asking better questions: what did we know before the game, what did we miss, and what would change our minds?

When does a great explanation actually help us understand a game, and when is it just hindsight?
What can an unexpected result teach us about the assumptions behind a prediction?
The uncertainty, the personalities, and the moments no spreadsheet can recreate.
This is a fan’s notebook and a learning project, not a betting or prediction service.
