And every team does have a 50/50 chance of winning. Every. Single. Team. No matter who they play or the game.

What you are writing is simply not true.

If it was, then clubs wouldn't bother with paying skilled coaches or obtaining the best players? They would save their money and just put the lowest paid guys out on the field. The Packers would have dumped Rodgers long ago and probably replace him with some fat dude working at McDonalds as the QB. 50/50. Every. Single. Team... right?

No.

Can upsets happen? Yes. Can David beat Goliath? Yes. But, not with 50/50 odds typically.

However, I am pretty certain that you will not be convinced otherwise.

But, I sure would like to play some high stakes poker with you soon! :)

Something I hadn't really considered, so thanks. When someone counters that they're completely full, now I can counter with "of what"? :)

Here's a take on the half full/half empty thing you may not have considered.

If the glass was empty and you fill it half way, the glass is half full.

If the glass is full and you pour out half, it's half empty.

That is the practical way to look at it. Metaphor does not always provide you with accurate picture. :p

Dare I even ask what this means? :)

Ok, just so this doesn't go down the wrong path...

The old joke goes as follows:
  • A pessimist sees the glass as half empty.
  • An optimist sees it as half full.
  • An engineer sees it as twice too big.

I am an engineer.

You say that is if you are proud of it. I spend half my time redesigning equipment so it actually does the job it was "engineered" to do.:p
