Where Bad Sports Journalism Comes To Die

FJM is a closed forum, but we welcome reader feedback. We're especially interested in corrections of our work, and research (usually number-crunching) that we may not be able to do ourselves. Please check the comments section as well, where we often post readers' opinions, and, less frequently, announce that we were wrong about something. You can e-mail dak, Ken Tremendous, Junior, Matthew Murbles, or Coach individually.

Specifically, math nerds who want to read an interesting paper about players' performance in their walk years? Here's a link to a paper from a few years ago that is pretty interesting. (You can download a PDF of it on the HTML page, if you prefer.)

It's only about 15 pages long and you don't need that much math to understand it. It was written by some guy from some kind of college I have never heard of personally, but I assume is an accredited institution.

If you don't want to read it, (WARNING! SPOILERS!) I'll just tell you that it supports a lot of prior research and shows that players' performances do not change that much in their walk years as compared to their regular years.

I should maybe post this in the comments section of Junior's KR post below, but Junior is posting up a storm and I want to jump in.
