Turd Watch Stat Tracker

One of my favorite NFL rumor sites is ProFootballTalk.com (PFT). If PFT is not part of your daily (or hourly) web browsing ritual, you are a terrible NFL fan (note: I just started reading the site last year, so that makes me a whole year better than you). One of the interesting parts of the site is their aptly named "Turd Watch" (http://www.profootballtalk.com/turdwatch.htm). The turd watch follows NFL players, coaches, owners, etc and tracks their arrests, and ultimately scores the arrest based on the severity of the crime. Ugh, that was a mouthful, check out the site, they are much better with words than we are.

One of the things I really like about this site is that they provide access to all of their information, including an arrest tracker. We took some of their data and tried to see if there were any trends in when players get in trouble. Surprise-Surprise, there was nothing. So here is nothing....

Since February:
Day of the week/ Arrests:

Sunday	11
Monday	12
Tuesday	8
Wednesday	10
Thursday	11
Friday	14
Saturday	7

Since September 6th:
Day of the week/ Arrests:

Sunday	0
Monday	2
Tuesday	4
Wednesday	1
Thursday	2
Friday	1
Saturday	4

While statistically insignificant, it is interesting that the day with the most arrests is the day before the big game....

Since February:
Month/ Arrests:

February	8
March	21
April	7
May	11
June	7
July	8
August	7
September	4
October	8
November	2

Nothing of significance here:

Since February:
Calendar Date/ Arrests:

1	2
2	1
3	2
4	2
5	5
6	5
7	2
8	1
9	6
10	3
11	1
12	2
13	2
14	2
15	3
16	2
17	3
18	2
19	5
20	3
21	4
22	2
23	4
24	1
25	4
26	5
27	2
28	1
29	3
30	2
31	1

Again, pretty even across the board....

So that was a big waste of your time, and mine. But sometimes the finding of nothing is..... eh never mind.
