To give you an idea of how stupid things have gotten the last 6 1/2 years...

A little statistical analysis of my first 2,000 posts:
  • Post #1:  October 7, 2010
  • Post #100 wasn't until September 22, 2011.  I had only posted 33 posts from January to July of 2011.  It picked up in the football season, and Post #100 was the Fine Blotter for Week 2 of the 2011 NFL season.
  • Post #200 didn't even need the end of that NFL season, though this one was about a high school basketball fight and another player getting tossed for taunting.  December 27, 2011.
  • 170 posts in 2011.
  • 239 in 2012.  That totaled 445 posts in 2010-2012.
  • Post #500:  Came in what was known as a dead zone in Super Fraud -- the NFL offseason has been a bit of a down time many years, and 2013 was no exception.  After 45 posts, probably largely surrounding the playoffs and Super Farce LXVII, Post #500 was not the post I actually listed as #500, at least by my current count.  I did a "Post #500" on a case study of former NBA corrupt official Ed Rush, then working for the Pac-12.  By current count, my actual Post #500 was my comments on the Boston Marathon Massacre on April 16, 2013.
  • 256 posts in 2013, 701 total.
  • Post #750:  My Round 1 study of the 2014 NBA playoffs.  A work in progress throughout that first round in April of 2014, largely studying freethrow differential.
  • To show how crazy things got in 2014 with the NFL, Post #1,000 didn't even take til the end of 2014:  The Fine Blotter for Week 13 of the 2014 NFL season, December 4, 2014.  I did, also, a "1,000th Post" that, probably due to either miscounting or something, the same day, largely a similar retrospective to my 2.000th post you just saw.
  • 323 posts in 2014.
  • But that would be dwarfed by my record year of 2015:  FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY posts that year.
  • 77 of them in January (Leading to Thugs vs. Cheaters), 100 of them in September (Ray Rice/Adrian Peterson/etc.) and 96 in October.
  • Post #1,250:  The Kimbo Slice/Ken Shamrock SHAM, posted June 22, 2015 -- neither video linked exists.
  • Largely because of Rice, Peterson, et. al., Post #1,500 only took until October 24 of that same year:  A death of a high-school football player in the Chicago area that weekend.
  • And post #1,750 was the (then to-date) offseason NFL suspension blotter, mostly for drugs, for the 2016 offseason, posted July 27, 2016.
So, for each 250:
  • 1-200 took 14 1/2 months.  1-250 was actually May 3, 2012 ( a retraction of an earlier report that Junior Seau appeared in a game with the Bountygate Saints), so that was a year and almost eight months.
  • 251-500 took 11 1/2 months
  • 501-750 took basically a year.
  • 751-1000 took just about 7 1/2 months.
  • 1001-1250 took 6 1/2 months.
  • 1251-1500 took only four months and two days.
  • 1501-1750 took about nine months.
  • 1751-2000 took about 6 1/2 months.
