Here's the thing that makes life so interesting.

The theory of evolution claims only the strong shall survive.

The theory of competition says that the strong can't get the kick.

The other guy may be the favorite.

The odds may be stacked against you.

But what the odds don't know is this isn't a math test.

This is a completely different kind of test, one where passion has a funny way of trumping logic.

So before you step up to the starting line, before the whistle blows and the clock starts ticking,

just remember out here the results don't always add up.

No matter what the stats may say and the experts may think and the commentators may have predicted,

when the race is on, all bets are wrong.

Don't be surprised if somebody decides to flip the script and take a pass on yelling uncle.

And then suddenly as the old saying goes, we got ourselves a game.

Everybody's getting in the mail that came up late in the show yesterday.

We were trying to make sense of it.
