The biggest reason I went down the Bachelor of Arts route was to ensure that I took the bare minimum of math classes needed to graduate, while remaining under the guise that I can successfully perform a long division problem (very questionable). Despite my deficiencies, I took an interest in advanced sports statistics, mainly in relation to the NBA and MLB. While there is no substitute for actually watching a game to understand the ebbs and flows of a player or team, advanced statistics can provide insight as to why certain things are happening in the sports world. I had never looked for these types of statistics in relation to the NFL, but starting this season I have decided to confuse myself even more by attempting to decipher the work of the Web site www.footballoutsiders.com, which features some in-depth stats based on the early results of the NFL season.

Unlike some other cities that are home to professional sports teams, Green Bay is not usually described as a booming metropolis.  Because of this, options for a night on the town are somewhat limited, and at some point every Friday or Saturday night, all roads lead to downtown Green Bay.  This is both good and bad (probably more bad side, for my wallet at least), but the one unique element to going out in Green Bay is the chance of spotting a member of the only real local celebrities, Green Bay Packer players.  Making this more interesting is that downtown Green Bay has no VIP sections, no forbidden rooms upstairs where players can escape overly-talkative fans; instead, they sit on the same stools as everyone else, but probably with more expensive drinks.
