I know I’m not the most common poster, but how bad do you guys think padded stats have gotten at this point? I can’t think of anything more laughable than some of these things I see on Twitter Hahaha!
Surprised??? Really???? This is today’s media. They don’t need/use facts for headlines, let alone sports!!!! Sports is simply a microcosm, in every way, of this country today. If you want it to b a truth, it’s a truth. Kids are gonna lie/exaggerate, but sadly some of the coaches: a mentor, father figure, & leader are the culprits........
Like I said…seems absolutely ridiculous. Going to a newspaper to make claims that are false makes coaches look like clowns.
I’ve seen a lot of blowouts. But to score 6 times yet amass 517 passing yards in a half? An average of 87 passing yards per drive? Makes me wonder…

I was at that game because I have a few buddies who teach/coach there. LBV got dismantled, but they had two drives that took up almost an entire quarter on offense. There’s 0 chance that kid threw 517 in the game, let alone a half. He may have had 350 total. A great night, but why lie about it? Also, that coach threw a screen that scored on the last play of the game while the clock was running. One of my friends is ready to start sharing all their film out to see if that QB actually has the 3000 yards they claim lol
That’s just one I saw in person. I’m sure other teams do something similar.
