Bagoon's Barrage Episode No. 29 (Comeback Wins Percentage) 7/21/17

Bagoon's Barrage

Jake Donnelly (AKA "Bagoon") takes a shift away from what was going to be a rant about extra inning baseball, and instead hits the topic of the day (Intro-1:30). Jake buries the lede a bit while discussing Mike Sando's GOAT Index, which he loves because he outsourced it so the resulting list makes pretty good sense (1:30-3:40), even though Jake would change some things (3:40-4:50). Jake takes a break to call Tony Dungy an asshat and one of the saltiest coaches of all time when discussing Brady/Belichick (4:50-6:26) before delving into the article (6:26-8:50) and what has him so angry; Comeback Wins and how the stat doesn't tell you what happened in the first three quarters (8:50-13:00). Jake then gets heavy into the math and decides to figure out how to improve the stat by incorporating total wins and comeback wins (13:01-17:55) before showing why that version of the statistic doesn't quite work out because of the Aaron Rodgers outlier (17:56-20:25). Is there an answer though? Yes there is: Comeback Wins Percentage , which shows how Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest front runners of all time (20:26-24:00) and Peyton Manning is really good in the comeback department (24:01-25:14), but Tom Brady is the GOAT in this stat too (25:15-28:35). Jake was about to sign off when he checked his phone and saw the Kyrie Irving trade desire and ranted about that for about five minutes before eventually, finally signing off (28:36-End).
