Working too hard to make the point.
Pick a football game, where the winner makes fewer yards than the loser. Its the official points that count, not the number of plays, time of posession or yards gained, etc. Winning states is all that matters.
My favorite is the Yankees - Pirates World Series. I think Rush brought that up. Yankees outscored the pirates 55-27. Pirates won the Series!
“They got outplayed.” (Yeah, but they won.)
