As individuals, we love round numbers. There’s just something so aesthetically pleasing about looking at several digits and instantly recognizing that the figure is easy to interpret. While we don’t see this often in prices—thanks, marketing tactics—it does happen in sports every once in a while, and we should stop to appreciate it.
Speaking of which, it’s also crucial to recognize when players set any sort of records, whether moving up career leaderboards or establishing a new franchise benchmark. It can be challenging to acknowledge a numerical highlight as your favorite team is coming off of an embittering losing streak, but scrutinizing the stat sheet truly opens your eyes to how cool yet crazy the NFL is.
