It’s been a long time since yours truly has taken a math class. Like, a looooooooooooong time. My last math class was so long ago that I had one of those Texas Instruments graphing calculators and thought the things that it could do were amazing.
Shut up, I know I’m not the only one.
But in the links to stories relating to the Minnesota Vikings that I get from Google every day, buried in there was this story from a man named William Butler. Butler took all of the play-by-play data from this past Vikings season and attempted to use the data in conjunction with “machine learning” techniques to see if he could figure out exactly where the purple fell short in 2018.
