StatisTRIX 0000 ND

The N.Y. Giants scored 52 points two weeks ago, and zero points this past Sunday. StatisTRIX shows that they averaged 26 points per game in their last two games. Not bad at all!!!

“Statistics always remind me of the fellow who drowned in a river whose average depth was only three feet” Woody Hayes, Ohio State Football Coach

“Say you were standing with one foot in the oven and one foot in an ice bucket. According to the percentage people, you should be about perfectly comfortable.”  Bobby Bragan, Milwaukee Braves manager

The unemployment rate is down to 7.7%, they say. Go into any inner city and tell that to all the people standing on the corner.

In 2011, Tim Tebow made his first start for the lousy Denver Broncos on October 23rd. He proceeded to lead his team to victory in 7 of the next 8 games. While losing the next 3, the Broncos still made the playoffs because of him, and beat the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs on an 80 yard pass from Timmy himself on the first play in overtime. His completion percentage in 2011 was a dismal 46.5%. His Quarterback Rating (perhaps the dumbest StatisTRIX in sports) was 72.9. He was traded to the Jets. He has been destroyed by the media and all those that REALLY know Football. He hasn’t even played because everyone knows he cannot throw the Football accurately. But, he does win! Unfortunately, Wins don’t seem to matter when it comes to StatisTRIX. They aren’t even calculated in the Quarterback Rating. Neither is 4th Quarter comebacks, or completions under pressure. In fact, Johnny Unitas is approximately 175th all time in Quarterback Rating, but, considered by many to be the greatest Quarterback ever. Why? Because he was a winner! In the words of Herm Edwards, “You play to win the game”! As for Timmy? Good God!
