    Well, I think you have to measure this in lies-per-minute or lies-above-replacement. Not fair to tally for such a long speech. It's like giving Harden 50 FGA.

    They did...

    At 2 hours and 2 minutes, Trump’s speech to CPAC was also by far the longest of his presidency. If you’re counting false claims per minute, Star editor Ed Tubb notes, Trump made almost an identical amount to CPAC, 0.49 per minute, as he did in the Pennsylvania rally speech in August at which he set his old record of 36, 0.46 per minute.

    CPAC is a modern-day Klan rally. Like that every year.

    How does Morey have numbers that others cant get. Where do stats come from?

    He wins on trades because he does better with the stats than the team he is getting the player from.

    They all have the same stats. You can watch the game and generate the stats. They dont come from magic or secret portals

    But can you separate your stupidity from politics?

    Just a minor point, but I do have to ask: Why are hearings “not politically good for the Democrats?”

    Aren’t we coming off midterms where Democrats won the House easily even with the opposition, including Trump, trying to warn their base that a Democratic majority would open these investigations? Wasn’t it also the GOP that helped erode Hillary’s credibility with numerous investigations into her handling of Iran, Benghazi, etc that may have been enough for her to barely lose the electoral vote in 2016? Aren't most polls showing that Americans are in favor of these investigations as well as showing that Trump is highly unpopular?

    IMO, not initiating the investigations would be more politically harmful and show the Democrats as weak; a complaint that has been levied at them in the past.

    Teams have far more advanced stats than box scores provide. They track precise player and ball movement. They have proprietary software that's able to provide stats not available to the public. Just like campaigns have polling data not made public.

    This is common knowledge and you are a troll.

    Not to mention that they also have stats related to practice, player's personal routines and health that folks outside the organization aren't privy to.

    Bros

    There isnt any statistical game info that cant be garnered from any observer. The stats come from game performance

    Personal routines dont matter. The stats come from games.

    Stats from practice? So and so 25 of 30 in warmups. Whatever .

    They aren't building nukes
