Locked Down and Out

Hello all you Correlationers!

We've liked getting back into the groove of connecting with everyone again and sure hope you're getting out there and doing the same. The topsy turvy year of 2025 officially only has three more months to wreak havoc but we're not going down without a fight!

With all the finger pointing going on on The Hill with the US shutdown, we wanted to bring to the attention of who we can all collectively point the finger at. We are just talking about pointer fingers here, I know some of you want to shoot other fingers off but hold your horses! Now who we've found to blame has been called many things, like 'Athens of the South' (just a ploy to make people think they're pro-democracy), 'The Protestant Vatican' (as if they're super important), Music City USA (as if their trying to claim to own music), and Smashville (which we think might be the best because they just want to destroy the world).

That's right! The number of US Government Shutdowns and the number of Nashville Predators Shutouts is 72% correlated from 2014 to 2025* (so far). We sure hope this shutdown ends quickly for everyone's sake!
