Thanks man, I appreciate the kind words.




What bullshite?

It's not a very valid metric.

Why is it so difficult to figure out that per participant is a better metric?

So all those retirees in Florida count just as much in the per cap pool as someone who grows up in Louisiana?

And then you pick out drafted players only from 2 of the best skill player classes ever from LSU?

Heck,I'm sure Louisiana does very well in a per participant metric but this "data" has a big thumb on the scale.

How about when those retirees move to Florida, lets say at 65 are earlier (early retirees), etc and then their Children in their 30's follow bring their kids to Florida.

Per Capita is the easiest way standardize the measure although if you have a NFL player per state based on HS football participation rates in each state that would be an interesting metric as well.
