lol i had to laugh at his response to you

it’s not naive, at all, the operate under the assumption that most people do not want to kill each other.

if you really think that, spend less time on the internet and more in the real world.

sic transit gloria, boss

it’s actually worse than that - he starts out by imagining some version of what a “fair” price for an endorsement actually is (which he alludes to with his Kardashian thing) and then makes up ANOTHER number which he believes is MORE than the original imagined number.

kicking him out of the union and therefore making him ineligible to play would be pretty amazing

You have moved so far past the original conversation that I’m not even sure what to respond to anymore.

I feel like you need to expand on this. what’s impossible? he can’t be touched?

Statistics do not care about your individual situation or whatever insane stuff you can make up, dude. That’s the entire point of statistics, and what makes them such an effective measurement over long periods of time. It removes all of the inherent biases and individual wrinkles that you’ve spent this entire thread…

Yeah, you definitely don’t get it. 

you’re spending all your time studying one tree with a magnifying glass when the rest of us were talking about the forest.

attempting to explain away statistics because of the details of “this one time though” is a fundamental misunderstanding of how statistics work and what purpose they serve.

LOL so you misunderstand the point i’m making, respond with a snarky comment based on your misunderstanding, and then wish death upon me when I told you that a misunderstand of that magnitude is pretty stupid.

lol ok man

My goodness I hope you don’t do anything involving math for a living.

If you think that’s the argument I was making, then you’re pretty stupid. 

i’m sure it’s hard to look at more than just one column, but one thing you can discount statistics for is sample size. 3 years for one guy doesn’t compare to 10+ for another. 

that the league wide averages over a 3 year period are an awfully good measure of how successful something is going to be?

that’s a lot of words when all you had to say was that you don’t really understand how statistics work.
