Here is a fun article from 538 (http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/skeptical-football-manning-vs-messi-and-andrew-luck-experiment/).
Playing with statistics and how you observe data is a nice distraction from all the terribleness that is happening with the NFL at the moment.
The author does not seem to worry about why Manning has found himself in so many situations where he is trailing by 15+ with less than 10 minutes left. Or care to observe that he is only a solid 3% better at coming back than Brady, when claiming that Manning is far better than everyone else. Don't forget that because another QB formerly of the Patriots is not doing well means that Brady is more a product of BB than a GOAT candidate.
I was hoping I could expect more from 538 than this type of analysis.
