Does this Fanelli have his own website where he does his own subjective advanced numbers that completely overvalue certain stats and under value other stats while telling everyone his are right and the rest are wrong?
I thought that is how it works in the advanced stats community.

What I really want to know is if this Fanelli guy is good at booking hotel rooms. Isn't that what the organization uses analytics for???

I think you're thinking about David Staples. He's...not the advanced stats community. He's an actual idiot. (One time member of Oilfans though!)

Analytics department for Tampa seems like a good thing right? Doesn’t seem like a warm body hire.
One can hope…

And for routes to arenas FROM those very hotels. It's really a double duty position.

My understanding is that some of Jeff Jackson's comments have sounded like they're suggesting our analytics group was perhaps lagging, and that he wants it to be best in class.
It's at least ten years behind when they should have made that realization, but if they've finally made it, then that's a real positive. Now, it's not clear what role this guy had in Tampa's group, but that group was doing a lot of things successfully.
Hopefully we're just a few months from seeing Holland and Nicholson out the door, and we can replace all the dinosaurs with someone more cutting edge. I didn't know what to make of Jackson early, and it's still pretty early, but this is a positive sign.

Soon after he left Tampa they go all in on Tanner Jeannot as their playoff secret weapon. I will twist this as a positive for us.

I notice they've won exactly zero Cups since he left Tampa!
