As sports fans, we think we know a lot. We study statistics. We watch games over and over. We listen to talking heads, well, talk, on and on about sports. We analyze every little detail of every player and of every coach. And after all that, we assume that we know as much or more than the people being paid to coach and the players actually playing the games. SPOILER ALERT: we don’t.
Thanks to the famous Madden football game, there are a generation of fans that believe that real life is that easy. They believe that there are plays that will magically work every time.
