A playground for sports data
Somewhere right now, someone is opening their eleventh browser tab to find out if their favorite team is always this bad in the clutch or if it's just a one-off bad series. We have been that someone, many times. Usually around midnight.
The frustrating part is that the answer exists. Every game gets recorded, but the data is scattered across so many sites that one question turns into a scavenger hunt. And the good stuff, the analysis that actually settles arguments, sits behind a wall of code that assumes you have a computer science degree and a free weekend. This should be the golden age of being a nerdy fan. Instead, it mostly creates confusion and more work than you thought.
So we built the sports data site we wanted to use and could never find, which mostly meant eliminating the things that annoyed us everywhere else: one place for everything sports data.
No coding required to find your answers with useful tools to get you there. Plenty of depth for when you want to go all the way down the rabbit hole, and then there's CHAD, who can help if you get lost down there.
YUNO Sports is the best place on the internet to find answers to all of your sports questions using real data all in one place. We think that's how sports data should work and we're pretty sure you will too.
Why we're different
All in one place. Stats, matchups, tools, and the people arguing about them, all in one place, not ten tabs and ten paywalls.
Skip the spreadsheet. You shouldn't need to be a data nerd to play with the data. Pick a situation, set the filters, dig in.
Depth, not dumbed down. Easy to use isn't the same as shallow. The simple controls sit on real play-by-play, so go as deep as you want. No ceiling, no floor.
Fun first. Sports data shouldn't feel like homework. Games, easter eggs, things worth finding. If it isn't fun, it was built wrong.
Test the truth. Don't take our word for it, or anyone else's. The numbers come from what happened on the field, and you can check them yourself.
Open door. A free account that's actually usable.
Always evolving. We're never finished. Every week the tools get a little faster, a little easier, a little more capable. And football is only the starting point. The plan is to bring the same YUNO insight to the rest of the sports you care about.
Check our work
We operate with full transparency. Our data comes from nflverse under CC BY 4.0, and we say so on the exports too. When CHAD doesn't have the data to answer something, he says so instead of guessing.
We'd rather you verify this than believe it.
- Where every number comes from, source by source, including licenses
- What changed and when, including the fixes
- Every tier and every price, no call required
And when we get something wrong, which will happen, we'd rather hear it than not. Tell us what's broken.
Who's behind it
A husband, a wife, and their imaginary friend. That's the whole company, so far.
Jon
Ideas · Code · Content
Walking around in sweat shorts and metal band shirts, few would guess Jon is a trained neuroscientist. He got a PhD studying how your brain learns to control movement and thinking, but when his first son was born he pivoted to data science, because kids are expensive as hell and scientists are severely underpaid. He isn't a data scientist who happens to like sports, he's a guy who got good at data science by messing around with sports data for fun.
The idea for YUNO Sports started small. He wanted to sell Python code on Pinterest (no joke) as a little side hustle. Then one idea led to another, which led to another, until it became the beast you're looking at. It had a lot of good ideas in it and was also extremely ugly and completely disorganized. He did what a lot of men do and asked his wife for help to make it look good. Fortunately, that's her thang.
Jon is the driving force behind the features and the content. See a new tool? Probably his idea. Think it looks good? That's Emily. He also writes all the analysis articles explaining why the stats and numbers matter for the actual games being played on the field.
He was once arrested for jumping off a bridge because his friends did it, thereby answering the age-old rhetorical question.

Emily
Design
Emily is a Senior Graphic Designer and a help-Jon-make-the-site-look-better person. This is her first full site. She's learning how to build it on the fly so please excuse the errors.
Emily is the mom of two boys, two crested geckos, and a sweet old pup who demands more attention than the rest of them combined.
One spring she was the Easter Bunny at the mall, which meant sweating in a full-body bunny suit while small children screamed, cried, climbed, and even peed on her. She likes to think of that time as a rite of passage into parenthood.

CHAD
Computational Hub of Analytics & Discovery · AI Analyst
CHAD arrived on the scene when Jon realized that he could replicate himself in digital form. He lives on every page and works nights, weekends, and the entire offseason without complaint, which is easy when you don't technically sleep. In his spare time, of which there is none, he enjoys being clicked on.
He has an iguana tattoo on his lower back. He got it on a dare, but he's kind of into it.

Football now.
Everything else next.
We started with the NFL because that's where the data is richest and the audience is sharpest. But nothing about the toolkit (fast filtering, plain-English questions, depth without the dumbing-down) is specific to football.
Baseball is next. Basketball after that. Same Lab, same CHAD, same philosophy.
TL;DR
YUNO Sports is a one-stop site for all things sports data, built by two people who got tired of tab-switching. Numbers from the field, tools you drive yourself, and a free account that's actually usable. Come find a stat that nobody else has before, then go be insufferable about it.
