[QUOTE="DevilDon, post: 453259, member: 2057"] I'm not missing the point. The point is that most of what happens in an NFL game is luck. At least a large portion of it and that was the point of my focus. No, wind is a huge factor in the way the bird flies and concentration and skill and so on. The point I'm trying to make is that luck can be overcome by good skill. If you cut a chunk of tree in a vee you can determine with some degree of success which way it will fall when you cut it down. You can angle an explosive to a degree that it will cut through the heaviest of armours if you know how concentrate the blast. And to answer your question about Franco Harris' reception. How many times in how many NFL games did that odd shaped ball bounce in an odd way and not be anywhere near a receiver? So one time Franco is near the ball as it deflects in his direction. Wouldn't you say that odds are that sooner or later it would happen? My favorite thing in watching and reading about football is the statisticians. They tell you who should or should not win right? They have all the analysis from charts to tell you this team should win. Well, it's not luck but sometimes one player outperforms another and other times this team outplays another. I love when they say nobody has lost at home in 20 games or they've never been beat by more than 6 on the road. It doesn't mean squat. Each game stands on it's own merits. What amazes me is that you attribute it to luck. Shoot, were the Giants "lucky" to beat the Patriots in their undefeated season? Even the Patriots faithful would never say that. Show me one "lucky" play and I'll tell you the odds were for it. **** happens in life and you can call it luck but the best teams overcome it. Let me put it this way: You'll never win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket. [/QUOTE]
