    Stats not a lot of good on their own (Harry doesn't embrace statistics article) ESPN

    The Moneyball revolution in football is academic in both senses of the word. For one, Moneyball - using statistics to unearth talent able to transcend budgets - has little evidence to support its effectiveness in football. Secondly, the kind of academic intelligence needed is not the only...
