How it works

How each edition earns its verdict.

01
Hot streaks, slumps, and missed expectations move the needle fastest.
02
Injuries can change a season, but the injured player is never the punchline.
03
The schedule, preseason hopes, and a fan base's historic nerves complete the picture.
04
Every score explains exactly why the alarm is ringing.

Some losses are bad. Others require a citywide group chat.
