Stupid Statistics
Apr 15, 2008 | 4:18AM | report this
Ok who hasn't been sitting on the couch with your beverage and junk food of choice getting ready to watch a game only to hear the following...."When the temperature is less than 65 degrees by the start of the game the home team wins 74% of the time"?  Who is the loser that has the job of pulling up this useless information?  Just yesterday on ESPN radio I heard that someone (don't know who or care who it was) got his first NHL overtime playoff goal.  Does anyone really care about these statistics?  Do the odds makers in Vegas take these stats into account when they are setting the line?  How many of you consider these stats when you are getting in office pools for the NCAA tournament or the Super Bowl?  Its almost as bad as when John Madden gives us the "excellent" (insert sarcasim here) commentary of "the team that scores more is going to win this game".  So what are some of the other stupid statistics you have heard and do you place any stock in them.

I am just your average sports fan who believes the following: 1 - Div. 1 college football needs a playoff. 2 - The SEC is the toughest conference. 3 - Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and USC are the most over-rated teams in college football. 4 - An attractive woman who knows sports is every man's fantasy. 5 - The MLB season is too long. 6 - The DH in baseball needs to be done away with. 7 - The government needs to stay out of sports because they mess up everything they get involved in.
