Not sure who quoted that the first time, but Albert Einstein used that quote, and he was a pretty smart guy.

There is no proof that he ever used that quote:

Quote:A favorite of politicians (and pretty much everybody else), this quote has been wrongly attributed to Benjamin Franklin as well as—but there’s no evidence either of them said it. “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein,” an authoritative complication of his most memorable utterances, identified the quote as a misattribution, and mentioned its use in the 1983 novel “Sudden Death” by Rita Mae Brown. On his website, Quote Investigator, O’Toole traced, the link between insanity and repetition back to at least the 19th century, but noted its use in a Narcotics Anonymous pamphlet as well as novels (including Brown’s), TV shows and various other sources.

Quote:Albert Einstein often gets the credit for this saying, but you probably won’t be surprised to learn that he never actually said it. This misattributed quotation has been well documented: it appears to have originated around 1980 in literature published by Narcotics Anonymous (Becker; “Insanity”).

As to the topic Burrow having very little practice due to the calf injury and starters not getting any preseason reps probably does contribute to the slow starts. Maybe one of the seasons before 2030 Burrow will actually have a full pre-season.
