I miss being able to listen to Bob Valvano* on ESPN radio every weekend late at night. He had a great line years ago that reminds me of Bell and the analytics crowd.
"Statistics should be used how a drunk uses a lamp post, more for support than illumination."
LOL Does that remind you of anybody?
*Side rant
Bob Valvano's style and format is/was awesome. I've been involved with radio for well over 30 years and he is indeed unique. No matter how big the story, he'll talk about it at the beginning of every hour for 5 . . . mmmmmmaybe 10 minutes tops if it's huge beyond the sporting world and then do something amazing. He'd talk about other scores, other sports, other stories as if the big event never happened. Soooo refreshing.

Wall to wall coverage on the radio . . . but Bob Valvano?
5 minutes
Get it out of the way
