At one point we were mocked. At one point there was vast amounts of derision, scorn, envy, jealousy, and zealotry. At one point it was a meme, a sideshow, a distraction. At one point it was used as the catch-all phrase to discourage intelligent discussion. At one point the "common sense" knowledge was that people at-the-top were doing "good" jobs.

WE ARE NOT AT THAT POINT ANY LONGER!

TZ GMs yo. Only took about 15 years but it has come full circle. Suck it

The number of people on this forum that have achieved massive success in several different areas by applying analytical/statistical methods to fields that had not yet embraced those techniques is honestly staggering.

Jeopardy guy, 538, hell I randomly picked up a copy of the Washington Post while waiting for a tire change and there’s an article about Kyle B ruining baseball by making everyone throw 2 mph faster.

Also makes me pretty depressed that I’m basically just a work a day wage slave. (No student loans tho, thanks David!!)

No one said it wasn?t possible. What was said is that posters with no relevant experience couldn?t step into a GM job *today* and do well. I suspect kbfc would be the first to say he wasn?t ready for a GM job in his first day on the job and maybe not for a few years after. Would be interesting to hear his thoughts on it actually

Most surprising thing to me is anyone with a clue getting these jobs to begin with, not the fact that they're better at it than everyone else.

For those that are series, kfbc was a poster in the NBA thread that, along with Irishand and Sethypooh now work for NBA FO's.

Seth Partnow (sethypooh) - Director of BBall Research with the Bucks
Alex Rucker (Irishand) - EVP of BBall Operations with the 76ers
Keith Boyarsky (kfbc) - Director of Analytics with the Raps

TZers having prominent roles on top 5 teams is pretty freaking sweet. The Raps winning the chip whilst beating the other two is cool as well.

kbfc was like the first person to design and program and show a heat map type chart. now they are all over the place but he showed them off in TZ in like 2009 before they were at all available.

that was really cool.

I'm just hoping that one day sethy gets bored with the NBA and calls me to help fix the USMNT.

Brb inventing a plus/minus with consistent and efficient parameter estimates that converge before the trade deadline to land my NBA FO job.
