The Giants OL made this radio host so mad he chewed out the Pythagorean theorem.
Sweet baby Moses.
https://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2017...gorean-theorem New York radio host loses it over statistics, starts rant against the Pythagorean theorem It started with the Giants, and ended up being beef with euclidean geometry. by James Dator Sep 21, 2017, 9:55am EDT ESPN radio host Don La Greca hates math. He hates math more than anyone should reasonably hate math, and not in a “it was my worst subject in high school” way. On Wednesday, La Greca went on a rambling rant of the ages during a talk about the Giants’ offensive line.
It begins by slamming made-up stats that bring in so many variables they get silly, which is fair — but then La Greca progressively gets weirder in direct proportions to how red his face is getting. At its zenith he’s raving about the Pythagorean theorem for some reason. Quote:
Quote:
Let’s say Don La Greca wants to find out the distance between the tip of his nose and the corner of his eye and only has the length of his lose and the width of his eye. Pythagorean theorem tells us that a² + b² = c². What it can’t tell us is why the Giants’ offensive line sucks — no matter how many sides to the triangle there are. So, thank you Don La Greca. Your rant will be used by sensible people for YEARS to point out how sports fans are idiots. Thank you for that. We really all appreciate it. |

F the Pythagorean theorem. Still can't figure that damn thing out. Why does it have to be so difficult. It can jump in the lake and drown.

Wait until the pythagorean is merely an afterthought to calculating Watts, VARs, VoltAmps, Apparent and Reactive Power and Power Factor.

That guy is actually a pretty decent guy and a really good radio host. People would love Don in kc. This is a bad look for him. He isn't the Hollywood new Yorker that this makes him look like.

"Hollywood New Yorker" is pretty much the opposite of that clip.
