How we count

Each number is how many different outlets ran at least one headline naming the player, team or story. Ten posts from one site count once, and fan blogs count like any outlet. We read the 286 English-language outlets we follow.

A story is one player’s headlines, joined with another player’s when they’re named in the same headline by at least 2 outlets and a third of the outlets covering the less-mentioned one. Roundups naming several players don’t count toward stories.
