Hinted. Intended. Somewhat known.
Nice to see it officially!

Meleek Thomas has checked in for the first time for the Cleveland Cavaliers. #ProHogs
Reference on what a good number looks like here:
Trevon Brazile led the team last season with an average Paint Presence of 8.92.
Ewin followed with 7.6, then Acuff at 5.4 - largely due to a combination of drawing fouls while not getting blocked often.
🐗 Basketball season is back! 🐗
Which means it's time for more super nerdy analytics deep-dives!
I'm trying a new format with the graphics this year, always open to feedback.
Stats include Bahama games and Gonzaga exhibition.
Only one metric to share today: Paint Presence
Explains how impactful a player is on the interior on both ends of the court. This metric considers blocks, fouls drawn, getting blocked, share of total team rebounds, and a few other factors. #WPS

Green Bay Packers 2026 penalty numbers, specifically on all-important THIRD DOWN plays & in the FOURTH QTR of games
The #Packers lead the #NFL in 4TH qtr penalty per game avg, recording historically high numbers in this category
Compounding that, the @packers have off-the-charts numbers surrendering AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWNS via penalty on THIRD DOWN plays (& primarily in the 4th qtr)
None of this is news to Green Bay players/coaches or fans
Three games in particular this season (@Vikings @Lions & vs Cowboys) were beyond ridiculous w' officiating in the 4th qtr of those contests
There are many numbers I can detail going back two decades but ill use 2021/2025 five-yr data as comparison to highlight the statistical improbablity of the 2026 stats
Green Bay is surrendering 1.71 AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWNS per game on THIRD DOWN
To put that in perspective, over the past 5 seasons the next highest avg in this category is the 2023 Titans (0.94 per game) & the 2021 #Bills at 0.89 per game
GB is averaging almost DOUBLE per game of the next highest penalized team over past 5 seasons in this category
In the FOURTH QTR, Green Bay is surrendering 1.29 AUTOMATIC 1ST DOWNS via penalty in 2026
The next closest to that the past five seasons is the 2024 Commanders at 0.90 per 4th qtr
The bulk of Packers ROUGHING THE PASSER & UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS & ILLEGAL CONTACT penalties have occurred in the 4th qtr (see clip #GBvsMIN Week 1 w' Shawn Hochuli)
For the record im not a Packers fan, just someone that studies data
But I watch every game & the officiating in some GB contests this season has been diabolical late
The general response is "just play better" so a bad call or calls have no impact on the final outcome
That sounds great & im sure every team would love to be ahead 50-0 in the 4th so an atrocious UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESS penalty has zero impact
But the fact is most games come down to the final 10 mins & if you're on the wrong end of bad calls in the 4th qtr & particularly on 3rd down, its near impossible to overcome
Its up to Matt LaFleur & Packers hierarchy to inform @NFLOfficiating & start calling out the one-sided numbers
The positive would be these numbers can't continue indefinitely & GB does have 6 more games at Lambeau Field, where they historically have received better treatment

Arkansas ended the '93-'94 season with national title hopes by winning a game 76-72.
What a tribute by these new guys to start '26-'27 in the same way 😉
First game thoughts:
- Defense not where it needs to be or where it *can* be.
- FTs were awful, not concerned about it yet. First game, I think it will improve.
- JSJ was not confident as an initiator, but others stepped up in a big way.
- How about the nerve from Davion Thompson? 12 points and a clutch step-back three.
- Miikka was the best player on the court most of the game.
- Billy was the best player all the rest of the time. As expected.
- Toure and JJ had big moments, expect them to only go up from here.
- Really liked the battle inside from everyone, including Bowser and Maker. Rebounding in general has to get better though.

Billy Richmond in Arkansas’ exhibition win over Gonzaga:
- 17 points
- 7 rebounds
- 5 assists
- 1 block
- 1 steal
- 4/10 (40%) FG
- 3/5 (60%) 3P
- 6/10 (60%) FT
BILLY GOAT. #WPS
