Smitty And Steven Cheah Arguing About Football Analytics Was Everything I Hoped It Would Be

This is the reason God invented football, numbers, and Barstool live streams. Just an absolute clash of debating styles that you rarely see in this era of online echo chambers. In one corner you have Steven Cheah flexing his advanced knowledge of arithmetic and how it applies pigskin with the same hand gestures I use when I try to explain basic things to my 6-year-old daughter. In the other corner, you have Smitty countering with his years of watching of the Birds, his experience being a Jimmy and a Joe that played D3 football once upon a time, and trying to motherfuck every point Steven made. Oh yeah and a reference to the simmering Connect 4 rivalry these two titans of brainpower have.

In the end the Eagles went for 2, got it, and ended up covering for those of us that emotionally hedged by responsibly picking them +7 tonight on the Barstool Sportsbook thanks to the Bucs kneeling inside the 10 to end the game. So I am declaring this one a draw, except Steven's team won and I guess he won the debate too since all the smart people on my timeline said to go for 2. So I guess that's another L for Smitty. Sorry Adam.
