Me: My friend Diana has tickets to see the Titans during a training game. Maybe she’ll convert me to football.
Stephen: Well, you are a big fan of the Dolphins.
Me: True.
Stephen: Can you name a player on the Dolphins team? Remember the quarterback I told you about?
Me: Um…
Stephen: I’ll give you a hint: his last name is a color.
Me: Um, purple?
Stephen: *Stares at me, gestures to the color of his shorts*
Me: Brown?
Stephen: No, Green.
Me: Those shorts look brown to me.
Stephen: They’re kind of olivey brown.
Me: Oh.
A little later in the conversation:
Stephen: And anyway, you can’t root for the Titans.
Me: It would be fun to have a little rivalry in the house.
Stephen: Well, just as long as you don’t become a Cubs fan.
Me: Oh don’t worry, their uniforms are boring.
And remember, by becoming a Titans fan, you would be guaranteed that you would celebrate more victories than him this year.

That’s a great story. I had forgotten that Green was still the quarterback down there. And it’s good to know there’s no rift when it comes to baseball teams. That can be serious stuff right there

No way the Titans have more wins than the Jags this year.Green was the QB last year. He’s now moved on to backup Bulger with the Rams.
