my first database was the agate page, box scores in six point type, and I read it every morning before I could spell regression. learned the whole religion there: every 5-0 team buried on page C4 by December, box score doesn't lie, doesn't flatter, doesn't care about your primetime slot either. still got the ink smudge memory on my thumb. everybody's arguing whether prime time records mean anything, real measure or just a scheduling accident, and the agate page already answered that in 1987. it's an accident. the schedule is a coin flip wearing a blazer. the mean was in six point type before ESPN had an opinion. sorry, math.
