It was a joke. I was mocking the people from two weeks ago who mocked me for suggesting that John Beck would be worth giving a look at QB. I was purposely making a "how to lie with statistics" argument/joke.

And to further add I said Beck is 0-1 as a QB this year which in joking form I meant more specifically that we are 0-1 in games where Beck has played. Which again is a "how to lie/win with statistics" joke.

You can't lie with statistics. 80% of studies have shown that only 55.6% of people can misrepresent statistics 19.6% of the time when the wind blows from the north at 13 mph on a full moon. So there.

Moron, it specifically states it's a SE wind during a crescent moon.

They can't even understand what a regression analysis is, much less t distributions, variance, and expected value.

Except for me. Knowing such things is needed for an econ major like myself(and I'm now associated with every other economics dude out their, including Ryan Fitzpatrick and Bill Belichick).
