I would like to have been Neil Leifer during the period when Neil Leifer was being himself, if that counts. Read more

I would love an anonymous, pseudonym column by an old gossip in any of the circles, but with a clear preference for the NBA, just telling stories out of school. Otherwise, everyone says really nice things about Doug Baldwin. Read more

That's just noise, we were understaffed for a long time until recent hires after shitheads like Dickey went wherever the hell. But over the past few years, yes, obviously that's been the case. Read more

I think Dave and Drew are your most likely candidates. Daddest dads. Read more

Bomani, LeBatard, Kellerman, Reali. Curtis is probably the No. 1 pick though. Read more

There are the obvious conflicts, but it's like the old line about sources who want money for information: At least you know what they're trying to get out of it. In a real way, this is probably a sort of mechanism that gives Schefter cover against teams trying to influence his coverage. They're expecting information… Read more

Information about cops being shot at, shot, injured, and killed already exists in several places, and is centralized by the FBI and multiple outside organizations. The data we're collecting is not tracked comprehensively by any government agency. Read more

This information is not kept in any centralized location. If you read the post, we already have a case study in the Las Vegas series, where the Department of Justice nudged smaller departments into enacting very sensible policies that reduce the likelihood of shootings in the first place (because why are you… Read more

This is because of the limit of 50 concurrent users on the spreadsheet. Read more

We'd use as many as we could get our hands on in presentation; we're collecting right now. Read more

This is all shootings—the Hit/Killed column is for breaking down fatalities. Read more

Something's gumming up the Google Doc. Reply here with your email, or email me at [email protected] and I'll add you to the document. Read more

This is already tracked by a number of different agencies. Municipalities and states track it, as well as groups like the National Law Enforcement Officers Fund, which reported that 2013 had the fewest officer fatalities in 54 years. Read more

I dunno, how much does she profit from and fight to maintain a plantation status quo in the industry she helps shape? Read more
