●Football for Nerds

Phase 0 now live

Football stats built for obsessives, creators, and Sunday-night spreadsheet nerds.

We are pulling every free, high-signal dataset we can find (nflfastR, CollegeFootballData, Pro-Football-Reference extracts) into a single warehouse so you can query drives, players, and formations without paying sportsbook premiums.

Why this stack hits different

We want creators to move from idea → chart → post in minutes. The site ships with structured data, ready-made visuals, and opinionated workflows so you stay in storytelling mode instead of CSV-cleanup hell.

Core stats stack

Open-sourced play-by-play (nflfastR), CollegeFootballData, and curated Pro-Football-Reference extracts feed a single warehouse so you can pivot from drive narratives to player trends instantly.

Context-aware visuals

Pre-baked visuals for EPA, success rate, pressure share, and formation tendencies make it dead-simple to drop premium charts into newsletters or social clips.

Creator-first workflows

One click to export annotated tables, markdown callouts, and structured clips so analysts, podcasters, and hobbyists can ship smarter takes faster.
