Game Plan

Game Plan: A Radical Approach to Decision Making in the NFL

Game Plan is 50% Moneyball, 50% Outliers, 100% Fascinating.

The book tackles the issue of decision making in the NFL from the viewpoint of a true contrarian.  No NFL tradition is safe in this look at why some teams have such a difficult time getting out of their own way.

In looking at the NFL, Game Plan makes a powerful comparison between poker and football and suggests that if teams would start thinking about their decisions in the same way that poker players think about a hand, the NFL’s teams could correct a lot of the mistakes they make.

Just finished @FantasyDouche‘s Game Plan. If you are interested at all in building a better mousetrap for the NFL, it’s a must-read.

@FantasyDouche Game Plan is pretty staggering in the implications to me, moneyball level … imo.

Finished @FantasyDouche‘s “Game Plan” this weekend. Great stuff that has me thinking about GM’ing my dynastic teams & draft differently.

Spent day at @DurhamBulls ballpark catching game & reading the excellent #NFL decision making book from @FantasyDouche. Well worth the 99c.
