Am I Wrighster or Am I WrongInterview with Dr. Chris Mattmann. We discuss analytics vs manalytics in sports and how computers are running MLB, NFL, and NBA. Dr. Mattman explains how artificial intelligence is transforming sports. That same AI has made tech companies have more data on us than the NSA. Coronavirus modeling is complicated and we learn who is doing it well. We also learn the difference between the Dark Web vs Deep Web. And so much more.

Dr. Mattmann is also JPL’s first Principal Scientist in the area of Data Science.

Who is George Wrighster?
George Wrighster is a former Pac-12 and veteran NFL tight end. As a television/radio host, opinionist, writer, speaker, and analyst, he is UNAFRAID to speak the truth. Contrary to industry norms he uses, facts, stats, and common sense to win an argument. He has also found success in the business world as an entrepreneur and investor. George is a lifelong learner who loves having conversations that educate and uplift. He has also covered college football, basketball, NFL, NBA, MLB since 2014.
Am I Wrighster or Am I Wrong? It’s official, the city of Atlanta is now the most tortured sports city. The Atlanta Braves just blew a 3-1 series lead against the LA Dodgers in the NLCS. Famously, the Atlanta Falcons lost the Super Bowl to the New England Patriots after being up 28-3. The Georgia Bulldogs aren’t in the ATL, but their fan base is. Every season they believe this is the year they beat Alabama, only to realize they are still the little brother.
Antonio Brown
In two weeks, Antonio Brown is eligible to return to the NFL after serving an eight-week suspension. Barring him doing anything silly, which is a possibility, he will be back on an NFL roster within three weeks.
Justin Herbert > Baker Mayfield
If the NFL draft were today, I would take LA Chargers rookie QB Justin Herbert before every 1st-round quarterback in the 2018, and 2019 drafts. This list includes Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, and others. There is data and the eye test to back me up.
MLB Stars vs Mike Trout.
LA Angeles outfielder Mike Trout may go down in history as one of the top 5 baseball players of all-time. But, all the young hotshot players like Mookie Betts, Fernando Tatis, Cody Bellinger, Jose Acuna, Tim Anderson are doing more for the popularity of the MLB.

All the young hotshot players like Mookie Betts, Fernando Tatis, Cody Bellinger, Jose Acuna, Tim Anderson are better for baseball than Mike Trout.
At this point, college football rankings are more worthless than preseason polls.

Am I Wrighster or Am I Wrong? The 2021 NFL Pro Bowl scheduled to be in Las Vegas was canceled due to the concerns over the coronavirus. It did raise larger questions about the NFL’s ability to make it through the rest of the season. Through five weeks, there have been six games rescheduled and the league expects more.
LeVeon Bell Released: Adam Gase is Sabotaging the Jets
LeVeon Bell was released by the NY Jets Wednesday. It is clear that head coach Adam Gase is a saboteur and general manager Joe Douglas is complicit. The Jets have a toxic work environment that players do not want to be a part of and doesn’t result in winning.
Florida vs LSU Game Postponed
Florida Gators head coach Dan Mullens is a prime example of why coaches cannot be in charge of player safety. He’s back-peddling on his “Pack the Swamp” comments better than his DBs since the Florida Gators have to postpone the game vs LSU.
“The crowd was certainly a factor in the game,” Mullen said of the Texas A&M fans Saturday. “I know our governor [Ron DeSantis] passed that rule so certainly, hopefully the UF administration decides to let us pack the Swamp against LSU — 100% — because that crowd was certainly a factor in the game. I certainly hope our administration follows the governor. The governor has passed a rule that we’re allowed to pack the Swamp and have 90,000 in the Swamp to give us the home-field advantage Texas A&M had today.”
-Dan Mullens

Am I Wrighster or Am I Wrong? Lakers fans will finally fully embrace LeBron James because he won the NBA Championship in the year Kobe Bryant died. It is the Lakers 17th franchise championship and LeBron’s 4th. However, it just means so much more in 2020. There’s nobody else you would possibly want to start a franchise within the history of sports besides LBJ.
Russell Wilson = Tom Brady
Seahawks QB Russell Wilson is the single most under-appreciated person in sports. He is an upgraded version of Tom Brady. He can do everything Brady does plus he’s mobile. Wilson will go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, but the man has not received 1 MVP vote.
SEC Defense is Nowhere to be Found
SEC defenses are giving up points and yards at a near historic rate. The conference which always tries to shame Big XII defenses looks exactly the same. I will tell you the exact reason that is.
