Do not submit blogspam here. If you post content from your own site that is not appropriate for this subreddit, I will remove it and head straight to r/reportthespammers.
Articles are welcome from sites like Advanced NFL Stats, Code and Football, and Football Outsiders. Please avoid statistical trivia (e.g. team X had the most punt return yards in history).
Independent research is greatly encouraged. If someone submits their own work, be constructive.
If you need some help with introductory statistics topics, try some of the resources linked here.
