Anyone want to start a real award to rival the Ballon D'or that isn't just who won a trophy or two?

This is a big one. I've shared the 1978-1993 PBP that @quirkyresearch.bsky.social and I have put together over the years with Pro Football Reference. You can now find all the play-by-play back to 1978 there and in their Stathead query tool. Enjoy!

It's been at least half a dozen years, perhaps more than @aaronschatz.com @sean-forman.com @frantic.org and I have been talking about partnering around this. So freaking excited to announce it to the public. That's right, @pro-football-reference.com now has PxP and all sorts of new stats back to '78

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

I hope so. My son will be a sophomore in college next year at Pace and he's already had 10 or so magic gigs in the city.

Like how much later? The build takes longer ever day with more players and games to generate. How much of a change have you seen?

Leyton Orient to the champions league?

I took Crewe to the champions league in one go around.

Does the game just ignore the fact that you are a 125yo football manager?

Feels like there is an opportunity here to move en masse into a new player's league.
