No, but I expect them to be right a hell of a lot more than me or anyone in your league. Wasn't your complaint about baseball that it was too random and people never performed like the experts said they would? In football guys are performing like the experts said and it's a crapshoot? My impression is that you think a computer-selected team is random, when it's actually just paying more attention to the expert opinions than anyone else did.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby. -
I never looked at it that way.
