I was enjoying a quiet respite from the social obligations that come with the presence of extended family, and reading over the recent (paywalled) article from ESPN’s Aaron Schatz ranking each team based on their players under 25 years of age. Before finishing the first paragraph I noticed my brow had already begun furrowing in anticipation of the same gross miscarriage of justice and blatant disrespect I’d grown accustomed to from the national media as a Seattle Seahawks fan.
First thing of note was this outline of the methodology they used when making judgements, and I have to admit, it’s somewhat difficult to disagree with, though I do feel that their methodology leaves much up to interpretation, which I’ll touch on at the end.
