What's Whodathunkit? When I used to do my sports blog (which I don't do anymore; now it's this) I came to realize that for all major sporting events, the newspapers, tv shows, and blogs were all saying the same things. Predictions, analyses, interviews with ex-jocks... all boring. I can watch the game. I can (and did) prove that expert predictions are no better than arbitrary and random picks. I don't want to hear anymore about a linebacker's mom getting a house.

So I didn't talk about those things. Instead, I talked about the things I wanted to know, and since wanted to know about them, I assumed everyone else did, too. Thus was born Whodathunkit? , a compendium, for every major sporting event, of a couple of facts that nobody else was bringing up, but which would be endlessly entertaining while watching the event.

Whodathunkit? was too good an idea to let die, so I've imported it here, and now Whodathunkit? will periodically give you The Best __ Things You Want To Know about major events -- sporting and otherwise -- in life.

The first one?
