Fun fact: 68.4% of facts utilized by sports entities and personalities are worthless.
We are hit with a steady stream of facts and stats throughout Sunday that aim to tell how prior events might affect the current game or how the outcome of this game may foreshadow future outcomes for the players, coaches, and teams involved. Most fun facts tell us nothing. Going into a game knowing that the Titans have lost to the Steelers 10 of their last 12 games is mostly useless information because the players and coaches involved in a majority of those games no longer play for the Titans or Steelers and probably don’t play competitive football anymore, either. It’s easy to cling to these fun facts when you want to predict (gamble) on a football contest but most of the time these facts have little to no bearing on the action unfolding in front of us. Knowing that, the D12 Stats and Information team has spent hours tirelessly compiling data to offer you fun facts about the teams in our league that may or may not tell us anything about how our teams got here and where they might be headed. Some of these might be somewhat interesting, some of these might be somewhat worthless, but all of these will be tidbits you can toss out to your buddies at the bar in an attempt to make them think you know what the hell you are talking about.
