The deafening noise and intense explosions promoted a greater sense of urgency to my companion’s movements as he scanned the battlefield. He motioned to me to stay with the tank (what else would I do? Members of the SS such as him epitomise Hitler’s master race, that is they are blonde and dumb), before heading toward a shell-hole some metres away. Machine-gun-fire erupted around our position, hitting him in the back. He…
This dataset records every single play from the 2015 regular season and breaks each play into over 60 categories. During the 2015 regular season, without a doubt, the most successful team was the Carolina Panthers. Lead by Cam Newton and a stifling defense, the Panthers dominated their schedule, finishing the with 15 wins and only one loss (best in the NFL). After putting them through my model, I found that they also had the highest YLS% at 80.8%. Despite their offensive and overall success…
