Even though Bill Simmons might be the biggest fan boy in all of sports and it's painful to hear the man speak, kudos to Grantland and it's infusion of young football writers. Listening to the BS reports this year, it's been great to see people begin to use advanced NFL statistics and actual data. The current state of the NFL reminds me a ton of baseball before saber-metrics. There is a ton of value out there for general managers not trying to burn through the cash in their pockets and not stuck to an outdated way of thinking. I'm hoping it will transfer over to how fans talk about football to, because some of the arguments the last few weeks have been painful about Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning
