I had a football conversation with another male at a Christmas party

(Setting: my girlfriend’s aunt’s living room. A football game plays on the television.)

Girlfriend’s cousin’s husband: How ‘bout those Lions?

Me: They are a sports team.

That’s it. That was the entire conversation.

I can’t talk about sports with any knowledge or passion. I don’t have sports opinions. I can just recite broad facts, and at that moment the best I could do was, “The Lions are a sports team.”

After our ultra-manly sports chat I think he just kinda walked away while I pretended to sip from a can of Diet Coke that’d probably been empty for several minutes at that point.

    Oh man, yeah, the pretending empty can sip. Definitely a hallmark of my lifestyle.
