-i'm going to try and say "you always gotta watch out for the quiet ones" as much as i can this year, just because

-people underestimate luck so much! to the point where it slightly annoys me, it also baffles me, and it also makes me laugh. after the 9ers lost the seahawks, i was listening to  sports radio and the guy says "when you lose 3 times in a row to a team at their stadium, that means they're just better, that's what it means, they're just a better team, plain and simple".

um no. first, football in general is a small sample. one season of nfl is such a small sample size, anything can happen. i mean, let's say we knew for a fact that the 9ers were going to win 70% of the time when they played the seahawks. then, it's perfectly normal for the 9ers to lose 3 or 4 or 7 games in a row. sometimes it's just luck. but i get, i get why people in sports media have to say its black and white, they have to attribute the loss to kaepernick's mistakes or whatever. but more times then not, it's always a shade of grey. it's not black and white

same with the stock market. people will say things like "oh wow, APPLE dropped like 5% today because of low ipad sales" or some bull shit. but in reality, it's not so black and white, APPLE might have dropped because of low ipad sales, it's possible. but to say that is the one reason why APPLE dropped that day, it's just ridiculous.

more times then not, it's a shade of grey
