Generally I love the general principle of the site, and how it approaches something (e.g. lets find a problem, lets take some data see what it tells us and see if we can solve it – e.g. on a basic level how can you make game projections with a degree of validity, take game results, do the SRS and then interpret what it tells us – best one off the top of my head the first Broncos vs Chargers Monday Night game from last year – when looking at it there was so many things that were wrong about it with the general public perception and the line). Best current example of this (different sport admittedly) but Oklahoma have won less games in the NBA than Miami but in terms of SRS (and various other rating systems that make an allowance for scoring in game which shows bias admittidly) Oklahoma projects out as the better team (the question I guess is are they?).

Generally I do like the looking at the games and season projections most (as with the Vegas lines you have something to compare your number to even though it isn’t that basic). I also like that you can dig a bit deeper (e.g. the Home Field Advantage post) to look at a specific variable which can be then used to improve game analysis (or just treat it as a study of HFA). I also love the Data Dumps and Stat Geekery and just the general fact that both you and Neil have taken the time to comment on how you do things and provide general pointers on how you do some of the things you have posted about.
