Who’s the best football team in the NFL?  The Giants

College football? Alabama

Who's the best basketball team in the NBA?  The Lakers

Men's college basketball? University of North Carolina

Who’s the best Hockey team in the NHL? I don’t care! 

How do I know this pretty-much-useless-information-for-a-busy-mommy?  My husband. 

What is it with men and sports?  It doesn’t seem to matter… football, basketball, boccie ball, sailing, soccer, or squash:  If it’s a sport, my husband is interested in it.  I’m not saying that he’s out their playing with all the other jocular hoohas—just that he can’t pry his eyes off the television if a bunch of sweaty bozos are fighting over a ball. 

You balk…  Humor me ;)

Do you know what a flea-flicker is?  How about a rugger?  A blitz? A box-and-chain crew?  How about a pick and roll? A full-court press? A 3-second rule (I’m not talking about food he dropped on the floor here). 

So you say you  know all of those?  What's a half-Nelson? A hammer lock? What’s a divot? A brassie? A golden ferret? Or a mulligan?   I can say with about 95% accuracy, if you know what each and every one of those are, you’re a male.   Aren’t I amazing? 

I’ve gotta go—The Zags are playing for the #1 spot in the Old Spice Tournament-- the team with the cute white and blue uniforms-duh! You know what they say—keep your husbands close, and their interests closer… *wink*
