completely unrelated events. The latest one is Brady and Bradford's
injuries that are about 1 yr apart.
So yeah, I see "Brad" as part of both their names, and fine, these
stats are similar, but come on....
How many stats did they have to dig through before they found these 3
common ones? (sorry, the first two don't count as "similar stats" to me.
I bet there are 3,756 other stats that are not similar AT ALL, which
turns these 3(or 5) into a tiny percentage and completely irrelevant.
(if this was baseball, I bet they also would have been able to track
if they both were wearing socks that had been washed in the same type
of detergent)

Hey I could actually use this part of your blog as a teaching point in class when we come to regression where I tell the kids correlation is not equal to causation...
