First Brady's playoff interception, and now this?
>> Sunday
I'm so confused. I don't even think I know what clutch and non-clutch mean anymore. It's almost as if they're just adjectives that get permanently attached to someone for a very small sample size of game situations.

It's almost as if the word 'clutch' has lost all meaning whatsoever...I'm confused, cold and scared.
Also, be on the lookout for a brilliant multi-faceted series of NFL Draft previews forthcoming from the two most knowledgable NFL Experts this side of Michael Irvin in the next couple of days.
And trust me, the description clutch player will be frequently utilized.
Actual conversation
My dumbass friend: "A-Rod's such a choker. Why can't he be more like Jeter?"
Me: You do realize there's really no such thing as a "clutch" player? It's just something that gets attached to you based on factors out of your control (batting order, defensive stops, etc.) that puts a player in a position to win the game in the closing minutes, and based on that small sample size. If it were a larger sample size, the player would most likelyw on average perform at the same level as the rest of his career. It's just that no one remembers a game-winning home run if it happened in the 5th inning.
MDAF: But some players just thrive off those pressure situations and rise to the challenge.
Me: (double blink)
What business do you have calling your friend a dumbass on here? What the hell do you know about baseball? Good work passing other people's opinions off as your own.
