While the Boston Bruins game was on:
P: Rusk, Goalie of the Future
M: And Tim Thomas, best Goalie on the Planet
M: Who said that? Was it ESPN or NESN?
P: NESN called Rusk the Goalie of the Futue. One of the opposing teams called Tim Thomas the best Goalie on the Planet.
Later
M: Are the Seattle Seahawks still in the playoffs?
P: No. Can you name the 4 teams that are.
M: Chicago Bears, NY Jets, Steelers, and one other.
P: (silence)
M: Are they playing the Bears?
P: Yes.
M: Oh, I know. Greenbay Packers.
P: And that's the problem with the Bears. No fan support.
And then I couldn't resist.
M: 1985
P: (eyes rolled)
So, the Bruins continued as I cleaned up the dishes.
Knowing full well the answer to the question, but I just couldn't resist:
M: Oh, by the way, who was it that won the Stanley Cup Championship last year?
P: Long overdue. Since 1961.
M: Well, when was it the last time the Bruins won?
P: 1972.
Another pause.
P: When was the last time the Cubs won a World Series? Aren't they in triple digits by now?
