Football conversation with a colleague.

(Setting: My office. A football game plays on the television.)

Colleague: How ‘bout Chelsea?

Me: It's a football team.

That’s it. That was the entire conversation.

I can’t talk about football with any knowledge or passion. I don’t have football opinions. I can just recite broad facts, and at that moment the best I could do was, “Chelsea is a football team.”

After our ultra-manly football chat I think he just kinda walked away while I pretended to sip from a can of Pepsi that’d probably been empty for several minutes at that point.
