Pre-Post Game Analysis for Everything That Ever Happens.

Sports events are won and lost by a total number of reasons that equals the individual acts during the event multiplied by the number of participants. So for an NFL playoff game, that's a lot of reasons.

Stocks go up or down for a total number of reasons equal to the number of people who bought and sold said stock. That's one hell of a lot of reasons.

Elections are won and lost by a total number of reasons equal to the number of votes cast. Millions of reasons in a statewide election in Massachusetts or any other reasonably big state.

So whatever you think about ball games, finance, or politics, you're probably right. You're just a small fraction of the overall answer, but you're not completely wrong.

And if you accept the validity of this post, you won't read, listen to or watch commentary ever again, and I'll have put myself out of this nonpaying business.
