According to statistics, I'm dead already of lung disease, kidney cancer, cirrhosis and heart issue. I'm not saying predictions don't have value - I'm just saying that screaming chicken little based on a pile of projected numbers is foolish. I ain't handing free money back because Robert Rubin's great big juicy brain says I should. If I'm wrong and reckless, whatever... won't be the first time and won't be the last.

Don't give me this shit. Statistics are not perfect, but only a fool disregards them completely. Have you picked Arizona in any of your office pools so far this season? Why or why not?
