I’ve watched too many teams collapse not from bad coaching—but from ignored data. As a New York-raised analyst who trades stats for storytelling, I see the truth: health isn’t optional, it’s the first variable. When stars like Carey Irvin return in February, they don’t just fill a roster—they rewrite the game. This isn’t about hope. It’s about precision. And if you’re still clinging to noise instead of structure, you’re already losing.
