Six one way, half dozen the other.

Picture this: There are two guys sitting in a sports bar, discussing (guess what!) sports. They discover that they are both football fans. Any surprise there? The guy on the left (we'll call him Fan #1), seems more distraught than his newfound friend. Here's how their conversation went... (And for a point of reference, we'll call the second guy Fan #2. Am I creative or what??)

Fan #1: Man... this has been a terrible season. Nothing has gone right. First, one of my team's best players, maybe our best player, went down with a leg injury and has had to miss the entire season.

Fan #2: Oh, you must be a fan of the Patriots.

Fan #1: No. It's just been a disappointing season, though. We were expected to be one of the best teams in the league, and we got off to a good start, but then we really got on a losing skid.

Fan #2: I see. So how long have you been a Jaguars fan?

Fan #1: I never have been. Then a month ago, two of our best players got into a verbal confrontation in the locker room. It was a bad mess. It was made a bigger deal in the media than it really was. But that's how the media is, right?

Fan #2: Yeah. I know that. So you're a Cowboys fan. I remember when all that happened.

Fan #1: I'm not a Cowboys fan. But speaking of player trouble, we had a guy get arrested this season for causing trouble outside a nightclub.

Fan #2: A nightclub? So are you talking about the Bengals or the Titans?

Fan #1: Neither. Who are all these teams you're talking about?

Fan #2: NFL teams. What the hell are you talking about??

Fan #1: Football. You know, football. Soccer. I thought you knew what I was talking about. I don't really like American football.

Fan #2: Oh! I thought you've been talking about the NFL all along.

Fan #1: No. The team I follow plays football in England. You mean there are really that many teams screwed up in the NFL??
