How is the Knicks offense so different and new?... They can layer their plays. There was a reason for heavy motion offense to start Empty 45 breaks down -> straight into their pinch post offense I detailed this on my substack when watching the Kings, they can layer multiple playsshow more

Memphis HC Penny Hardaway on November 5th: “We finally... put in our defensive packages, and we just started putting in our offense right now.” For context, most programs start installing their offense/defense systems in the summer… five months ago. Memphis plays in 4 days 🤦‍♂️ Wtf have they been working on for the past 5 months??show more

DeVonta Smith after getting 1000 receiving yards, says he... believes the Eagles offense will be alright in the playoffs. I asked him how much it helps, all of the postseason experience this group has together. He says it does help because they know they can have uncomfortable conversations when the offense isn’t going well, and they can get back on track.show more

It stood out how comfortable Jaxson Dart looked against... the Eagles, like on the 26-yard completion to Wan'Dale Robinson below. Turns out there's a reason for that. The Giants have incorporated some of Ole Miss' passing concepts into their offense. Whereas Russell Wilson rarely attacked the intermediate middle, crossing routes are now featured with Dart. This post/over/flat route combination was a staple of Ole Miss' offense More here on how the Giants have drawn on Dart's past to cater the offense to his strengths:show more

I have not seen enough about the decision from... Mike Vrabel and Tim Kelly to go for 2 down by 8 last night. Here’s why I loved it: 1) NFL teams this season have been successful on 55% of two-point conversion attempts. The odds were in the Titans’ favor. 2) Will Levis was dealing in the 2nd half. 3) Titans still had all three timeouts and the two-minute warning. 4) Miami struggled to move the ball on offense all night. Their three scoring drives went for 12, 7, and 59 yards. 5) If successful on the two-point conversion, a stop on defense and a TD wins the game. If unsuccessful, you can still send it to OT. 6) Titans offense marched down the field, scored the TD to make it a one possession game and essentially told Miami, “we are going for two because we know you cannot stop us right now.” The odds are in your favor. It’s a good mathematical decision. You want to psych out an opposing offense? Give them the ball knowing they need to run the clock out, or you are going to have a chance to WIN the game, not send it to overtime. They saw what your offense just did to their defense. They saw your QB on the sideline screaming and hyping everyone up. Cutting the lead to six put WAY more pressure on the Dolphins offense. You want to hype up your defense? Put them back on the field knowing your offense just did their job. Put them back on the field knowing a stop and a TD wins it. At that point, they aren’t in the mindset of “we need a stop to have a chance to go to OT.” They are thinking, “let’s go out here, get a stop, and give our offense a chance to WIN.” There’s a fundamental difference in playing to WIN and playing NOT to LOSE. This was a decision by a coaching staff that was playing to WIN. Brilliant game by Vrabel and Kelly. Brilliant execution late in the game by the offense and the defense. Completely out-coached one of the best offensive minds in the game. #Titansshow more

My favorite quote from Zach Wilson’s presser today: “We... need to come out right from the beginning, screw the 3rd downs. Let’s go get 1st downs on 1st downs & on 2nd downs. Let’s start fast and get some big plays from the beginning” This is exactly what we saw from the #Jets offense vs the Chiefs & I am happy to hear it’s become a focus for the offense moving forward Aggressiveness on early downs to stay ahead of the sticks is the key! #TakeFlightshow more

🤣 This is how they are using Luka, no... wonder when DLo finally got free from the grasps of a Bron centered offense he said, "I'll never take being able to play free basketball like this for granted” There is a reason NO free agent wanted to join Bron..show more

Among the keys for the Seahawks' defense Saturday vs.... the 49ers will be to tackle as well in the open field as they did in Week 18. Seattle held the NFL's hottest offense at the time to 173 yards and a field goal. Plays like this one from Riq Woolen were a big reason why.show more

Theo Benedet (Bottom of the screen) running a deep... post for no reason. There was no motion or trickery. They broke the huddle and lined up like this. He just ran a post. There was no reason for him to be the one to do this. It could have been any player. I love Ben Johnsonshow more

🔥 Shedeur vs Raiders. Maxx Opens Up About the... Sanders. Respect 💛 "We have a job to get done and we have to make his life miserable and shut down their offense. I got a ton of respect for Deion and his whole family. They are great people"show more

This crowd spotter has a fun job! And it... takes a team! I worked with a guy who side gigged for an NHL team as their team DJ. They coordinate with the spotter to make for fun interaction with the crowd in between plays or "tv commercial" breaks. The guy puts up somebody on the jumbotron and the DJ plays a tune that matches.show more

Every single day, countless stray dogs wander the streets... with empty stomachs and tired eyes searching not just for food, but for a little kindness. They face hunger, stones, harsh words, and the cold silence of human neglect. Some are beaten, some are run over, some are left to heal their wounds alone. Yet… despite all this pain, they still wag their tails when someone reaches out. They still trust. They still hope. How do they do that? How do they still believe in love when the world has given them every reason not to? That’s the innocence of these voiceless souls their hearts are pure, their faith unbroken. All they ask for is a little food, a gentle touch, a moment of care. Let’s not be the reason for their suffering let’s be the reason they feel safe again. Because sometimes, a small act of kindness can mean the world to a soul that has nothing. ❤️ #StrayDogs #AnimalWelfareshow more

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on why Dallas traded for Anthony... Davis: “The reason they selected Anthony Davis as the guy they wanted for Luka is because they believe that trade can help them win the championship this year. They think they’re now big enough with their bigs to go against Memphis, to go against OKC, to go against Houston. They think they’ve got an advantage. They think they can get up there and beat them. That’s their look.”show more

HOW TO DODGE EVERY SKILLSHOT IN LEAGUE OF LEGENDS... SO YOU GET ACCUSED OF SCRIPTING - Script in your mind - Draw out how far, wide, fast an ability is relative to your character thats all the easy stuff that I have been preaching already you can find in my free discord for improvement however one thing that League coaches fail to explain is the human aspect of it every game you play in League of Legends, every single person in the game is constantly building their profile in a game on how they operate both sides are constantly trying to mind f*ck each other to land and dodge skillshots. I have broken it down into layers the three layers to dodging are layer 0 - no dodge (unconscious) layer 1 - dodge (conscious) layer 2 - no dodge (conscious) Notice how in the clip in a challenger game below Olaf shoots a layer 0 skillshot, but because I am playing at a layer 1, I dodge his axe. Now the Thresh hook gets a little deeper bare with me, because I built the profile that I will dodge an ability in that moment, he thinks that I won't dodge and is shooting a hook at a layer 2 thinking that I will dodge at a layer 2 also. However I know that he knows I will likely not juke and walk straight so I make the conscious choice to dodge AGAIN playing at a layer 1 resulting in me dodging the hook, of course he could be accounting for my tumble but the point still stands. There are many deeper things to consider like zoning abilities, environment etc but you generally want to always play at a layer 1 until you gain more data in a game to adapt. However one thing that always stays true throughout my 13 years of playing League is in teamfights that have gone on for awhile, human beings tend to panic and default to layer 0 of shooting abilities, so if your able to operate at layer 1 as a teamfight progresses, you will likely dodge that one final skillshot that wins you the game. study the saskio wayshow more

MLP in PyTorch by hand ✍️ ~ 7 steps... walkthrough below Goal: fill in every blank in the PyTorch code to build a multi-layer perceptron. 1. Given Let us start with a code template on the left and the network it is supposed to build on the right. Every blank in the code can be worked out from the picture. 2. Linear layer We count: 3 features in, 4 features out. So the weight matrix is 4 by 3. There is an extra column for the biases, which means bias = T. 3. ReLU Let us apply the activation. ReLU crosses out the negatives, so -1 becomes 0. 4. Linear layer The input size is 4, because that is what the previous layer put out. The output size is 2. A 2 by 4 weight matrix, and this time no extra column, so bias = F. 5. ReLU We cross out the negatives again. 6. Linear layer Two features in, five out. A 5 by 2 weight matrix, with a bias column, so bias = T. 7. Sigmoid Let us finish. Sigmoid squashes the raw scores (3, 0, -2, 5, -5) into probabilities between 0 and 1. You have just implemented a three-layer deep neural network by hand. ✍️ == Story == Three years ago I gave this exercise to my students, to connect the code to the math. They found it odd. Every other AI course they were taking lived inside a Jupyter notebook, and here I was handing out paper. Three years later, my colleagues are the ones rushing to move their materials to paper. The exercise has not changed. Paper still asks the one thing a notebook lets you skip: do you actually understand what the code is doing? If you can tell me why the weight matrix is 4 by 3, and why bias is F on the second layer, you understand nn.Linear better than someone who has been copy-pasting it for a year. 💾 Save this post! #AIbyHand #PyTorch #DeepLearningshow more

I’m curious… what are you teaching your child? Because... my child played years in volleyball and they had their hands over their hearts and the other hand on the shoulder as a team representing. So you are teaching your child disrespect to keep her hand down while honoring the country she lives in and plays for?! You are teaching her to hate her country and you are a bad parent. You are pushing a narrative and I can clearly see it. Gross.show more
