Excerpt:

AP With the Broncos P.R. division trumpeting the unmatched achievement of quarterback Peyton Manning throughout the team's last four games, it's easy to obtain caught up in the idea that Peyton is back. One man isn't buying it. "I don't agree with that," Manning informs Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports. "I feel like I'm a different player, in different circumstances. I've learned a lot about myself and my body-- what I can and can't do. Somebody asked me if I was doing the same things I did in 2004. I'm like, 'Are you kidding? ' That was a different team, and we were on a crazy level. There's no comparison.". But it's not about contrasting groups. It's about whether Peyton has actually returned to being a dominant quarterback. The numbers say he is. His %%PRO11%%mates say it, too, via particular instances of the things he does.

Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

Excerpt:

In NASCAR, things are moving in the right direction. And it’s largely because of the men and women who are loyal — and in some cases, hugely disgruntled — race fans. Wednesday’s announcement that the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will race at Eldora Speedway is the tip of a massive iceberg that represents significant changes in the sport’s direction. Likewise, today’s introduction of the Chevrolet SS, the final of the so-called Generation Six cars that will race in the Sprint Cup Series in 2013, is another sea change for NASCAR. And those changes are for the better. First, and most importantly, they signify that NASCAR actually is listening, and listening closely, to fans. Let’s start with the new Sprint Cup cars.
