Hey Kirk,

Just a thought. I noticed when you wrote something on Hoseheads
for one of their many columns you unindated the reader with too much
data and statistics.

You lost me and may be some other readers. I thought you should
of shortened the stats, but added commentary with a synoptheisis'
or conclusion, general thoughts finally comings out with some fact
or theory you concluded from analysing all the data.

I know there is another famous guy who does something of
the same nature.

I think it's important to pose all the facts and every race
detail and story, but what the reader wants is somebody who
can view all those races, add thoughts or conclusions based
on all the data you have and finally come up with some human
interest story.

Because in reality it not who wins or loses or how many times
he does it, but the story behind the statistics.

As an example. You can say the Giants beat the Patriots,
but the human interest story is that it uplifted the country and gave
every man and boy in the world, that 'idea' that they too could do it, no matter how
many nay sayers said they couldn't.

These actions inspire a country and lift it higher than any bunch
of stats that were collected during the game. But on the same
token you can use those facts to inspire a "Point". That indeed
time and time again through the playoffs, the Giants were in reality
the team to beat. And the immaculate data presented by the Patriots
did not take into account that the Giants believed in themselves
and would not be denied.

That was a historic event and in the end the better team
won.
