stats = facts

 

I don't think so.

Your opinion has my curiosity piqued. I would truly be grateful if you expounded upon it so as to further enlighten me.

 

Only when an observation has been repeatedly validated can it be considered a fact. Even then I'd stick an asterisk by it. You also need compitent data takers, which is not a given in a "stat" for it to become a "fact."

 

A stat is very close to becoming a fact, but I don't think you can make that leap in confidence. It's a minor point, but since this thread has run amok, I thought I'd throw that in there.

 

I don't have a problem with stats. They're wonderful things, but you have to be careful about the conclusions you draw from your data.

you're incredibly off-base here, which is weird since your definition is ok. A stat is a fact. You're confusing "fact" and "prophecy" in the second part though. While stats can be used predictively, they can not be used perfectly so.

The South Park episode where Stan takes over the Pee Wee hockey team is on.

 

There were only two good parts to that episode.

 

But overall, it sucked.

 

I refuse to believe you are serious. It was one of the best of the season IMO.

 

Nah, this season had much, MUCH better episodes than that one.

 

agreed, the world of warcraft one was an instant classic. So was the two part Nintendo Wii episode.

I'm taking my daughter to the Dallas zoo tomorrow.

 

If Bob Sanders was playing the Colts would have won.

 

And if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. What's your point?

 

I cant wait for someone to quote this with a pic

 

and get banned

 

If your aunt had balls she'd be a baseball player!!

If your aunt had balls, she'd have a leg up on Juan Pierre.

I haven't watched South Park this season, but this is my 3rd time seeing this episode. It kills me.

Why cant you people just leave me alone and let me be a sore loser (or sore person rooting for a team that lost)? I thought we were bonding.

 

They don't appreciate the greatness that is Bob Sanders. It's their loss really.

 

True story: Bob Sanders was at Castleton Mall signing autographs last year and I didnt have anything for him to sign so I just had him sign my cell phone....which I now use to pretend I'm calling him during games....none of my friends think its funny anymore, but I do.

 

You're lucky Bob Sanders didn't smash your cellphone with his cold, piercing stare.

dan plesac likes the signing. FWIW.

 

Dan Plesac has funny eyebrows.

 

So does Rex Grossman. My friend noticed that when he has his helmet on, his eyebrows disappear into it, like they go all the way up his head.
