Watching: SportsCenter
I get all contemptuous of SportsCenter when they come up with some ridiculous statistic. Like, "That's the first time all three of a team's outfielders have homered in the team's home opener since the 1987 Padres!" And I'm like, "What? That has no meaning." And yet, really, that applies to basically every statistic. Like, Jorge Cantu has an RBI in every game this season, and I'm wondering how long it will last. What possible reason is there for me to care? They're not even winning.
And now ESPN is giving Tim Tebow a softball interview with Jon Gruden, in order to boost his draft position, in order to maximize their ratings! We think they don't affect what they observe? Haven't you heard of Heisenberg?
