STATS STATS STATS STATS!!!! Enough Already!!

Well done Fritz with the NFL Power Rankings! Looks like you did a little research and the stats are good too. I was watching The Boys/Panthers game and it got me thinking about.... STATS!

One thing that irks me is the ridiculous STATS during any game. Sure, I like the pertinent STATS that are relevant, ie... leading rusher, best defense, most home runs, etc etc etc. But, some of the stuff they come up with is just plain idiotic. I think they do this to try and make a player/team look more or less impressive.

Tonight's STAT was that Tony Romo and T. Owens hooked up for 34 TDs which is the most by a Cowboy QB/WR tandem for a 3 year period. Makes Tony R. Homo look very impressive doesn't it?? Wonder what his hook up STATS are for his playoff appearances??

Don't even get me started with baseball STATS. There has to be a million of them and millions of subsections for each of those. Joe Blow is hitting 347 when a base runner between the age of 23 and 27 is on third base, between July 7th and August 24th, and the count is 3 and 1. RIDICULOUS!! I feel bad for the statisticians, they probably want to comitt suicide by the 5th inning.

The best is when sports commentators make the astounding comment about a team not making the playoffs or having a good year. This will be the first year the Packers have made the playoffs since 2006. WOW!!! A whole 3 years!! Shock me when a team makes the playoffs for the first time in 25 years!!

Yet another reason to watch games with the sound turned off!!!

Til next time,

If you love her, set her free! If she comes back, set her on FIRE!!!!
