LeagueStory: Who’s the Most FAAB-ulous Team in the NFL??

Look at this fun little chart! Remember my long chart listing the teams back in Week 4’s Wire and the amounts spent and number of adds and drops? Well, this is just taking a look at that first metric in the form of a Tree Map. Hopefully you’re able to see the dollar amounts, but basically the bigger the logo the more FAAB has been spent on players of that team. Let’s break down the top 6, who account for $275 of the $506 spent so far this season:

The Wire ’21: Week Se7en

Edit: I failed to mention that despite my win, I arguably made two of the worst moves of the week, losing points by grabbing Cole Kmet (was gonna go for Uzomah but for some reason didn’t want to double up on Bengals even though they’re legit this year) and Randy Bullock (11 points is solid for a kicker to be sure, but the G-Man Graham Gano won out for this week). Just wanted to make sure I’m not covering up my own mistakes while pointing out yours. Thanks!

The Wire: Double Feature

I know, I’m super late and we have two weeks of fun to cover. Luckily, I have “trainings” for work today that I can “multi-task” during and get you guys the League content you so desire. I’ll try to keep it short and sweet:

Some of you probably don’t want to rehash the distant past (2 weeks ago), and are only wondering about how I thought you did this past week. I’m not sure why, because most of us did pretty awful in Week 6. So to Kris, Abie, Brent and Vigs: If you’re in a rush or just want to see me talk about how much you won by, you can scroll down and find Week 6 under the picture of another famous #6.

LeagueStory x League Talk

We love to see the synergy, folks. Here’s a little treat for anyone who has listened to the pod. I got working on it as soon as I heard the idea mentioned, thanks roomie! You guys were definitely right in saying that the target score is well above 120 (see also “Distribution of Points with Wins and Losses”), but surprisingly wrong about Max being the one to win by the lowest average points. It’s actually Abie who’s the sneaky guy, who would have thought? Anyway, new Wire coming soon, as well as some other developments regarding the “image” of the brand going forward, Stay tuned…

The Wire ’21: Week 4

Yo yo. We had some stuff go on this past week, you were all there. You listened to the pod so you largely know if anything significant happened but here’s another recap for your face to look at:

We started off the week of new teammates with an interesting development – we had an Add/Drop before the waiver claims went through! Who knew that could happen? Not me, that’s for sure. I guess you can only drop in preparation for a later pick-up, thanks for the tip Bonez. Not sure how useful it really is but good to know. We’ll be seeing more of these in the future.

LeagueStory: Win Margins that Beat a Team’s Score for That Week

Since I won’t be able to bless y’all with The Wire until either tomorrow or Friday, I figured I should sate your ravenous appetite for League content until the pod drops with another amusing table of stats. It’s pretty self explanatory, a team beats another team by a large margin, that margin is bigger than the total score of another team that played that week. Sometimes it includes the team that created the margin itself, and I’m still not sure if this is a testament to the team that won or lost to create such a big margin, but these are the interesting and useless facts you’ve come to expect from us here at Must Be Sunday. Gotta go record, enjoy!

The Wire ’21: Weak 3

Alright chucklefucks, I’m back in the office for the first time in probably a full week (that’s a lot for me) and of course I drank coffee way too late in the day and stretched an order of Dunkin hash browns across 6 hours (that’s 1 hashbrown per hour or hbph for those in a rush). Basically I did a bunch of useless shit in the office until I felt I had done enough to say I’ve been productive and then realized I was really hungry and dehydrated. Now I’m sitting here with a bunch of Chick-Fil-A and water, ready to crank this out and get to the gym for a bit before The Challenge comes on at 8. Hopefully my debaucherous roommate will be able to join me, I know he needs to take a load off (or maybe he’s done that enough already after last night). Hahahah alright I’m trying too hard to make jokes, analysis time:

2 Wire 2 Furious: Here We Go

Zoom in for some fun. The same K-Diff and P-Diff you know and love, but with some extra info sprinkled on top.

Man oh man oh man. I tell you one thing though: it’s good to be back! We have an all new chart set-up to not care about, and a whole lot of reading to not read. I’m excited, hope you are too. If you’re just reading this as I’m posting, I’d probably go to sleep and start with this fresh in the morning. It’ll be like the morning paper, but better. Also, did you see that I’m listed as the author of this post instead of Beans? Plus I gave myself a cool ramen noodle avi, nothing to do with football. If you want to get your name in the author space, hit me up with an e-mail address and we’ll get you on the payroll. But I digress, let’s get into it:

LeagueStory: Here’s Another Fun Little Chart

(this is basically the sentiment of every post in this series)

This is one I’ve wanted to put together for a little while now and it was pretty easy so I’m glad I finally did it. Since we have almost 500 games under the collective belt of this illustrious League, I wanted to see if the frequency of points scored in a game adhered to Normal Distribution and created a Bell Curve (remember stats class?)
…and sure enough, it did 😀
