What I'm Working On

Curious what's been getting attention lately? These mosaics show what doink data has been added or edited recently - across all kicker eras, color-coded by game type. With some visual flair.

"What Are You Working On?"

...is a question more easily answered in charts. More interestingly, in charts, at least.

Regular and post-season doink data is complete and 100% video verified back to 2008. Data coverage is good for 1999 through 2008, but video is missing for 5-6 doinks per year on average.

Starting with 1998 and working backwards, doink research has entered the frontier of newspaper archives. This presents its own challenges, but more importantly, its own opportunities. Progress may be uneven and work will happen in clusters, but the doink mosaics here illustrate the pockets of change plainly.

Zoom out a bit and the structure changes:

In addition to finding new doinks, the push to track down hard-to-find videos continues. I've churned through current game footage available online, but many games, especially those played before the advent of social media, prove elusive.
