I'm mainly in awe of the screaming irony behind a site called Russian Machine Never Breaks taking a shit on the team when the machine finally does break.Definitely not. I blocked him on Twitter years ago. Hassett is a less-talented, more-annoying version of Grant Paulsen. The only stuff I read on RMNB are the Morning After numbers they post if I'm too lazy to look them up myself or the occasional fun, human interest piece that made them interesting in the first place.
Their analysis is, for lack of a better term, ass. And biased; once they form an opinion, they will use any numbers they can to back them up. They love to misuse statisitics to fit a narrative instead of letting the data show them a conclusion. If you recall, RMNB were the leaders in drumming up opinion against Orpik and Wilson and they are incapable of understanding anything about the sport that isn't fed to them on Twitter or through an aggregated stats site. They strike as your typical internet warriors who never played the sport at any level, found a cool niche that made them fun and interesting, got hypnotized by the smell of their own farts, and think they're a lot wittier and smarter than they actually are. Between most of the writers and the posters on that site, it's a never-ending cycle of douchebagery and terrible takes.
Like, how can you not see how important 8 is to the franchise when your site is named after him. He's your meal ticket. Then when he's hurt you just rub the rest of the team's nose in shit as if they're also not dependent on him. Over a 2-1 loss. To a winning team that will probably make the playoffs, again.
I googled the guy and your analysis is probably spot on. I'm guessing he's never played a sport in his life that wasn't a co-ed half-drunk grope-ass version. And I'm not even sure he could pull that off.
