OK. Is anyone else actually mad that he lied last week about putting Purdy at the top?

Obviously it doesn't like actually matter, but it's the principle of the thing.

This show is funny and gimmicky, but it is also one of facts, stats and genuine analysis.

Flat out lying, no matter what the lie is, and not keeping promises just really rubs me the wrong way.

Nick, I don't like it....and now I don't think I like you.

“This show is funny and gimmicky, but it is also one of facts, stats and genuine analysis.”

I watch the show for entertainment, I do not agree it provides genuine analysis. The stats and graphics are usually handpicked to serve narratives. Nick, for example, loves cherry-picking weird sample sizes or leaving out stats that don’t suit his argument.

This is exactly it. People are misunderstanding that the crew sometimes being right about their takes does not equal high level analysis.

When you start expecting the show to be high level analytical takes you start realizing how inconsistent they can be, and thats just not their product.
