Our reading
A former NFL quarterback, who once broke down plays for a living, had to be told that ‘percent’ means ‘per hundred.’ The show’s crew, who spent their careers analyzing game stats, now had to explain basic math to a man who once called the shots on the field.
It’s possible the crew was more surprised by the idea that someone could be so far removed from basic math that they didn’t know ‘cent’ meant 100, rather than the actual numbers themselves. The irony is that he’s still considered an expert in his field, even if his math skills are stuck in the 19th century.
Now, when he watches a game, he might just be wondering why the score is always out of 100.
