Weekend Open Thread

The arbitration salary filing deadline has come and gone and, uh, maybe some free agents will sign now? I sure hope so. This offseason could use a little more excitement. Anyway, I recommend checking out David Waldstein’s article on analytics in the Mexican League. One team hired a statistical analyst and his reports were basically ignored because there’s such an old school mentality around the league.

Friday: Here is an open thread for the night. Both the Knicks and Nets are playing, and that’s about it. No college basketball tonight. Anything goes here except religion or politics. Thanks in advance.

Saturday: This is the open thread again. The NFL playoffs continue today with Falcons vs. Eagles (4:30pm ET on NBC) and Titans vs. Patriots (8pm ET on CBS). The Nets and Devils are playing tonight, and there’s a whole bunch of college basketball on as well. Have at it.

Sunday: For the final time, this is the open thread. The NFL playoffs continue with Jaguars vs. Steelers (1pm ET on CBS) and Saints vs. Vikings (4:30pm ET on FOX). The Knicks, Rangers, and some college basketball teams are playing too. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
