Incorrect Start Times

[jdpretorius123]

Hey,

I found two data entry errors for the start_time variable.

1. The Baltimore Ravens vs Cleveland Browns game on 09/27/2009 occurred at 10:13 AM EST, and the entered time is 24:13, and
2. The Baltimore Ravens vs Atlanta Falcons game on 10/19/2014 occurred at 10:13 AM EST, and the entered time is 24:13

> pbp %>% filter(home_team == 'BAL', game_date == '2009-09-27' | game_date == '2014-10-19') %>% dplyr::select(home_team, away_team, game_date, start_time) %>% distinct()

Games in question are

• 2009_03_CLE_BAL and
• 2014_07_ATL_BAL.

Kickoff times in raw pbp are wrong. The above mentioned times are also wrong, however. Here are the relevant gamebook parts
