About
The Wages of Wins Network is a group of stat and sports lovers. We enjoy looking beyond conventional wisdom to explain how sports work. It was started back in 2006 by Dave Berri to promote the release of his first book “The Wages of Wins”. Since then many others have hopped on the bandwagon to write about sports with a keen analytical eye. Here’s our roster of talented stat heads.
Dr. David Berri
General Manager and Founder

Dave is a professor of Economics at Southern Utah University. Dave has thirty published papers in Sports Economics to go along with two books. He also was the president of the North American Association of Sports Economists. He brags he watched all 16 games in the 2008 winless Lions season.

Greg Steele
Guest writer and Houston Rockets Fan
E-mail: ges05a@acu.edu
Greg Steele is a student at Abilene Christian University and a long-time Houston Rockets fan. Being short and round (and not like Charles Barkley), Greg is a basketball watcher, not a basketball player. As such, Greg was attracted to statistical measures which recognize the contributions of round and clumsy players as well as those of the more aesthetically pleasing players, so the Wages of Wins was a natural fit.
