I’m pretty much taking the day off from blogging, but here’s a link to a story on CNN about a high school football team that rarely punts and usually attempts an onside kick after every score. The coach’s logic is that doing everything you can to increase your chances to keep possession of the ball does more to improve your chances to win the game than giving up the ball because you’re afraid of what will happen. I’d love to see this data-driven convention-defying approach tried elsewhere.
