m <- max(Fumbles$week1)
table(factor(Fumbles$week1,levels = 0:m))
favstats( ~ week1, data = Fumbles)
# compare with Poisson distribution

		  observedCount = table(factor(Fumbles$week1,levels = 0:m)),
		  modelCount= 120* dpois(0:m,mean(Fumbles$week1)),
		  observedPct = table(factor(Fumbles$week1,levels = 0:m))/120,
		  modelPct= dpois(0:m,mean(Fumbles$week1))
