What is Unexpected Points Added?

It’s your new free weekly sports analytics newsletter. Covering technology, rankings, research, and thought-provoking analysis.

I noticed a void in any service delivering a curated rundown of sports analytics articles while obtaining my Master of Applied Data Science from the University of Michigan. Being a sports dork, I took matters into my own hands and have been publishing a weekly issue since May 2021.

Here’s an overview of what to expect each week:

• Welcome quip followed by a brief Summary of what’s in the week’s issue

• A Weekly Unexpected Quote (I love quotes)

• This Week’s Lineup, which will consist of 5 articles (I’m always seeking new sources)

• Maybe a little Self-Promotion

• Encouragement to share/comment/subscribe/fax/etc.

That’s it! Short, sweet, and consumable during your Friday morning coffee.

Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and a sliver of the archives (formatting didn’t transfer well). Everything was posted at Curated.co before April 2025.
