Dorktown - S1 - E5

The key to a dynamic NFL passing attack is letting non-quarterbacks throw. Since 1970, players at every other position have combined for a higher touchdown percentage than true quarterbacks. Many teams in the NFL have learned to take advantage of this, some far more so than others. Who's the best though? Check out the video to find out.

1x1 - What if Shaq missed all 11,252 of his free throws?
April 16, 2018
Shaq's free throw struggles are well documented, so we decided to find out what his career would have looked like if he'd never made a single one. Conclusion: he's still very, very good and valuable to his teams so you* don't need to practice your free throws. Welcome to DORKTOWN, a new Jon Bois & Pals series that's all about being a sports dork. *assuming you are Shaq
1x2 - Adam Dunn had the weirdest career in MLB history
May 1, 2018
In all of baseball history, you'd be hard pressed to find a statistically weirder career than Adam Dunn's. The king of the Three True Outcomes, Dunn was both incredibly consistent and full of outliers, and his efforts saved the stamina of countless fielders who got to stay exactly where they were for most of his plate appearances.
1x3 - Rickey Henderson crushed souls with unprecedented efficiency
May 22, 2018
Rickey Henderson revolutionized baseball throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s. He got on base at will, and once there, played chess on the basepaths while everyone else was still learning how to play checkers. We'll never get another, so this is the best effort to concisely appreciate the career of the one and only Rickey Henderson.
1x4 - The Rockets rode 3-pointers from the highest of highs to the depths of Hell
June 21, 2018
The Houston Rockets have created an offensive system and identity based nearly exclusively on taking shots from either right at the rim or from super far out. Led by James Harden (and a whole bunch of other dudes who could hit threes), they essentially eschewed everything in between -- and it worked! Until it didn't.

1x6 - The pitcher Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa couldn’t homer off in 1998
September 7, 2018
2018 means that the incredible 1998 home run chase between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa (and Ken Griffey Jr., until the calendar started getting into August) is now 20 years out in our rearview mirrors. You might have enjoyed their 136 dingers from that season -- but the pitcher who kept both in the ballpark is worth celebrating too.
