This morning I heard a football player being interviewed on the radio. His team was coming up against another team. The interviewer asked him something like what is your plan?
The football player thought about it and said, "If we play well, I think we have a good chance of winning."
I thought about this answer. In effect, he was also saying that the poorer his team played, the less chance his team would have of winning. If they played well, they might win; but if they played poorly, they might lose.
This is the kind of answer the football player comes up with.
But here is a question:
Who looks the bigger fool? The football player who comes up with a dumb answer or the interviewer who sticks a microphone in his face expecting an intelligent answer?

I think it's a toss-up. I just watched a fight on TV where one of the boxers got knocked down but got up and finally won the fight. At the end of the fight, an announcer asked the winner,"How did you feel when you went down in the third round?" The fighter must have been stumped for an answer because he said,"I won the fight."
There needs to be an, "Announcers Training Camp."
