    When someone shows you who they are hour after hour, day after day, year after year, believe them the first time.

    Well, to be fair, that wasn't a source problem. Kentucky WAS set to play in the Gator Bowl. But Fulmer started doing some arm twisting, and at the last minute the chess pieces (Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi State) all got moved around.

    Exit polls were wrong in 2004 because the versions that leaked were from surveys done before 4, which ignored like 40 percent of the electorate that votes after that. Again, in a 51-48 election, there are going to be close states and close means the poll can be accurate in statistical terms and yet "wrong" in predictive terms. Cosmo, 538 took considerable heat before the 2016 election for consistently showing that Trump had a 25-30 percent chance of filling the inside straight he needed to win. They are blameless. Other imitators not so much. One notably wrong one was the NY Times' site, which has since adjusted (overadjusted maybe) its polls to show Trump far stronger than do other polls.

    You act like that's a bad thing?
