TBS’ Innovative Stats and Other Equally Innovative Things

TBS’s INNOVATIVE STAT boxes imply the statistic displayed within is fresh,  saucy, and state-of-the-flippin-art. OPS, however,  hasn’t been fresh or state-of-the-flippin-art since like 1984, though it retains bits of its original sauce. With that in mind, I made lists of other things that were once innovative but now lack some component of freshness, sauciness, or state-of-the-flippin-artness.
