Men and Football

There is some innate knowledge inborn in males regarding the American sport of football. Of this truth I am certain. You can spend countless hours with a particular man and won't recall him learning of the latest sports scores or who-got-traded-to-what-team while in your presence but all of a sudden you're at the mall and he runs into his buddy and suddenly he's a sports commentator (he knows his stuff too!). When, you think to yourself, did he learn all of these facts? Where were you when he was catching up on the fact that so-and-so graduated from Oregon and is now playing for the Eagles or the Steelers (or..well, what's the difference between the two?). You could have sworn that you spent every waking moment with him but he still somehow knew the Jet's stats from this season and the past five.

We women may never understand the capability of the male mind when he is in sports mode. His attention to detail and his concise diction have us astounded and wondering why he isn't this knowledgeable when is comes to cleaning the house.
