Life 101 – Football Talk

At the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX.

I’m not one for excessive football talk, but there were some major games this weekend. I consulted with my football-fanatic friend to get the basic rundown. Here’s what you need to sound like you sort of know what you’re talking about today at the water cooler: 1. The “Red River Rivalry“, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas, met up at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Oklahoma won, 28-20. In other news, 50 partyers were arrested for public intoxication the night before the game. 2. Top-ranked Alabama (meaning they won the NCAAF Championship in ’09) beat the pants off University of Florida Gators in a hugely anticipated game. 31-6. 3. Donovan McNabb, the former Philadelphia Eagles QB returned to Philly on Sunday with his new team, the Washington Redskins. Redskins won, and it’s a big deal because the ‘Skins and Eagles are in the same conference, the NFC East. So they hate each other a lot. 4. San Francisco 49ers still haven’t won a game this season. Just FYI. 5. Most people forget that New York has three football teams: The Jets, Giants and Buffalo Bills. This is because the Bills are quite awful. They lost to the Jets yesterday, 38-14.
