Just saw that Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is available for streaming on Hulu. Do yourself a favor and watch it, so good. Sam Rockwell is a national treasure.

We saw “Good luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” the other day, and I need to recommend it to everyone. Insanely fun (though dark), very appropriate for the times, and how can you not love Sam Rockwell? The best I’ve seen this year so far.

I was on a crafting kick today, and ended up sewing some sun glasses cases. #procrasticrafting (?) I need to somehow get rid of the stash of fabric I keep accumulating without sufficient output.

It’s BobDylan’s birthday today. 5 marvelous years of this tiny pup being the best boy. (Do not confuse him with the other Bob Dylan, the second coolest one. His birthday is in May).

Getting back into sewing, made BobDylan a copy of his Japanese bow tie (the shitty version, of course). We might add these to the fall collection of #BobsShittyBandanas. I’ll keep you posted.

Great methods session this morning with Sophie Litschwartz, @catherinematah.bsky.social, and Edward Kim. All their papers were super interesting and you should check them out #AEFP2025

If some teams discriminate, how much does that cost them? I do some sims under a scenario where teams randomly choose a QB with a similar HS performance to the one I observe. Teams that are more likely to discriminate would increase their prob of winning significantly if they didn't (6.5%) 6/n
110
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 16/01/2025
Ok, but it could be that recruiters are trying to maximize the performance of _the team_.. so they track non-white QBs to other positions (most likely, a wide receiver (WR)). However, it doesn't appear like HS Top QBs are better WR than... WRs. In fact, it appears like they are worse 5/n
120
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 16/01/2025
Ok, non-white QBs are less likely to be recruited.. so what? Maybe they are worse? Not according to the data 📊 They have diff play styles (e.g. pocket passers vs dual threats), but QBs of color still tend to outperform white QBs in relevant measures 4/n
120
magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 16/01/2025
To keep things short, there is a significant diff in recruitment (for both the transition to college and to the NFL), which is probably not surprising to anyone that has watched football. One interesting thing is that for HS recruitment, there results are moderately robust to hidden bias 🤓 3/n

magdalena bennett @maibennett.com · 16/01/2025
🚨Working Paper Alert🚨 "QB or Not QB? Measuring Discrimination in Football Labor Markets" TL;DR I find that there is significant discrimination when recruiting QBs from HS to college (and from college to the NFL!) based on their race.. and this costs teams wins🏆 and money💰 1/n

I’m still tweaking this, but come on, `modelsummary` and `tinytable` make gorgeous tables 😍

I find it very useful for large simulations or code that takes a while and, until now, I was just sourcing the R script that I had created… but because of @vincentab.bsky.social’s course, I now put it into an actual package. Be nice, though… it’s my first try. 2/2
