Never listen to economists

They play waaaaay too much Madden.

I didn't really read the academic paper or the FO analysis

I’m sure there’s a well-reasoned and well-researched argument or two in there. My gut tells me that you get diminishing returns with more passing but I’m sure they’ve taken that into account.

I just think the juxtaposition of tweed-wearing academics and the “Madden mentality” is funny.
