Updates: Old Mother Hubbard, Bleacher Report, Detroit Lions, Liverpool

So, you’re probably wondering where the promised Old Mother Hubbard stuff is. This is a good wondering! I’m trying to use some advanced data visualization software instead of Excel charts, and the software is throwing me a learning curveball. I’ll revert to the regular old radar charts if I have to, but I’d really like to deliver on this.

Second, my Bleacher Report duties are ramping up in the run to the Super Bowl. I swore I wouldn’t let my B/R stuff slow my output here—but it’s critically important to me that I do a great job for B/R, just as it is that I do a great job here. I won’t compromise the quality of my work at B/R, or the quality of the Old Mother Hubbard posts, just to crank them both out at the same time.

If you haven't been following my work at B/R, here's some of my most recent stuff to tide you over

• Why the Lions' cornerback help won't come in the NFL Draft.
• Here's why the Lions could draft a defensive lineman in the first round.
• Here’s the story of my graduation from virtual soccer fan to real-life soccer player.
