This isn't long enough to qualify as an analysis, but lol @ this

His conclusion (trade Dunn and Griffey for prospects) may be correct but his analysis is eye-poppingly bad. Trade Dunn for a speedy outfielder. Right.

Let's not forget the sack of poo team that won the World Series last year. The best team with the best statistics does not always win.

Barry Sanders, not even close.

[/ QUOTE ]

I love Barry Sanders. I could vote for him as best NFL player ever. However, all the "it's not even close" [censored] needs to stop in these forums. Almost always when some genius claims it's not even close, it is actually very close.

Just because someone says something that turns out to be wrong in hindsight doesn't make it stupid. A lot of people had high hopes for Drew Henson in the NFL although I wasn't one of them.

It absolutely is stupid if the person says it definitively and without a hint of doubt. How about "He has the potential to be a franchise quarterback in the NFL."

boy why don't announcers just hedge everything they say - 'he might, if circumstances are favorable, grow into something resembling a franchise quarterback, someday!'

meh, the guy was wrong - hyperbole is a broadcaster's job
