An analyst on Monday Night Football said something thought provoking.
NFL color commentator and guy ingenious enough to invent a heated, movable man cave with multiple-screens and a Lazy-Boy with cup holders for his sideline reporting job, Booger McFarland, said something that could easily be applied to the Browns.
That’s actually brilliant, Booger. Basically a simpler version of Aaron Levenstein’s quote:
“Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.”
Either way, it’s a smart take on manipulable numbers.
When only the shapely part of a statistical truth is revealed, it’s easy to forget that there might be a saggy underbelly of ugliness hidden away.
