Although it’s not what he meant, it could be argued that he was implying that said game has at least a net 45% based on mental capacity. If he wasn’t aware which attributes made up the other half of the game by percentage, he couldn’t reliably say that each half of the game was comprised of 90% mental activity, only the half of the game he was certain about.

it’s a Yogi Berra quote talking about baseball:
“ninety percent of this game is mental, the other half is physical”
john madden totally could have said “ninety percent of football is half mental” but it’s an adaptation of yogi berra’s quote

You can observe a lot by watching, idiots.

you obviously are an idiot. Just like The John Madden. baseball has nothing to do with this graph. the JM in baseball is a d-bag.

Oh dear sweet god! You don’t know how happy this makes me. I’ve been complaining about that quote ever since madden 04.

I think the graph creator was just venting about EA Sports Madden football. Madden says about 5 moronic comments over and over and over again. I found this quite funny.

Steve said

The graph doesn’t match the quote, it seems. It’s quite simple math really.

If 90% of football is 50% mental, that actually means football is 45% mental.

Nobody is talking correct math. They are quoting a video game. You people just need to take it for the humor value and quite analyzing everything to death!

Having never watched the show, I can’t say for sure, but I have a feeling that Frank Caliendo (of Frank TV) probably hijacked this line in his Madden impression, and maybe that’s where the confusion arose from.
But still, Yogi Berra = one of the greatest quote machines since Mark Twain.

Actually, it was former Philadelphia Phillies manager Danny Ozark who said “Half this game is 90% mental.”

Here we see a double attribution FAIL. Impressive.

It’s things like this why Yogi wrote I Really Didn’t Say Everything I Said.
