Sadly that question will be asked at too many Super Bowl parties tonight.

Some of my other least favorite inquiries overheard at past Super Bowl parties:

What does first and ten mean?

Why did he throw it into the ground? What's a spike?

How many quarters do they play?

Baseball is easier to understand.

Why did he run right into the middle of where they all were?

I have Colts 5 and Saints 2 boxes in my pool. Is that good?

I thought you get 7 points when you make a touchdown.

Baseball is easier to understand.

Discussion question for the class

Fully explain the wheel play in baseball and it’s effectiveness in achieving the desired result and compare it to a nickel and dime package in the NFL and how opponents are able to exploit the matchups.

Make sure you have plenty of wings and beer, or wine if you’re a weenie, and have an animated discussion.

How about this one that's asked on 4th down:

"Why are they kicking the ball back to the other team?"

What’s a 2 point conversion?

Those are the same numbers I get in a pool. Occasionally an 8 or a 6 thrown in.

It is immediately obvious that when you go to a Super Bowl party, you spend too much time with the women folk.
Colts 20, Aints 10 ... and the Aints will get their touchdown via defense.
