But half the time I don't turn to numbers. I only turn to numbers when people put out completely arbitrary, subjective discussions like "Cousins isn't good in primetime", when its clear they've not done any research on it and just regurgitated what they heard somebody else say.

Numbers are a piece of the puzzle. Not the whole puzzle. Your the opposite of the problem. You actually think you know what you're looking at (why that is I have no idea) and dismiss important info that you don't know because you falsely trust "your eyes" to tell you something.

That's a quick, fast way to be fooled often. The very last argument anybody is going to believe is "I know what my eyes saw". That's basically throwing in the towel and saying "I can't be bothered to do any research on the subject at all".

I'll simplify it for you. Your eyes = "they trash".

Right. But there’s been plenty of guys that perform well in the regular season when it counted most, when the pressure is on, but fold under the post season pressure. It’s definitely a different game and some just don’t have what it takeDefinitely more pressure in the post season and some handle that pressure wellThat’s what separates the the food from the great.

Definitely more pressure in the post season. Some handle it better then others. That’s what separates the good from the great.

Deshaun Watson is back at practice for the Browns. Hope he doesn't get injured during practice or some like that. Would hate it to happen to such a wonderful human being.
 
So I signed up for Twitter this summer, which i figured whas a terrible idea but thought it might be fun to give it a go. I wanted to provide some feedback/here your thoughts.
  1. Why are so many people hellbent on being a dick? Not everything has to be a 280-character zinger. Like calm down yall, most of you will be lucky to get 10-20 views on a tweet, relax.
  2. I have never seen so many people use a platform to complain about the very platform they are using. There is an option not to partake.
  3. Even when I curtailed my profile to the things I wanted to see like sports/fitness/parenting/history/ etc....it always seemed to suggest some political or controversial post that I have no desire to partake. Any way to stop that, or am I forever doomed to see some sassy senator reply to some other senator, neither of which cares about improving our lives?
I appreciate getting information so quickly(the little bit that is factual on there), but I think alot of people in the world would be better off deleting that shit. At least on sites like this, we all have a shared bond and somewhat of a relationship.

Twitter always shows me promoted tweets or things it thinks I'll like. Don't think there's a way around it. I keep hitting the "not interested" button but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I left social media for good a year ago this month. This and YouTube is all I do now. I’m tired of the bickering, the shallowness of everything, I don’t wanna see everyone’s thoughts on everything, I don’t want everyone seeing mine, I don’t like people being able to keep tabs in my whole damn life without my knowledge. Also it’s a source of depression in so many ways, its re-wiring humans psychologically.
