    NFL
    Lakers
    Red Sox
    hockey

    I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of sports nerds suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

      Let’s see how I do without looking anything up

      NFL - Easy! (American) Football.

      Lakers - Basketball?

      Red Sox - Baseball.

      Hockey - Huh. The only team I know of is the one in my own state. I don’t have a clue where the rest of the franchise is.

      I give myself a 2/4 grade before I even check the answers.

      Looking things up…Huh.

      The Lakers are based in Los Angeles, and there are two hockey teams there (well, one is in Anaheim. I’m not sure whether that “should count”). The Kings and the Ducks.

      The Red Sox are based in Boston which also has a hockey team, the Bruins.

      I should probably also look up football teams, but meh. I just lost interest in looking up sports tidbits.

        Lakers… lakes… lakes freeze over that must be hockey

        Red sox , foot wear must be football…

        And Bruins… which is an archaic word for bear… And since it’s archaic that means old people use it. And only old people watch baseball so that must be base ball.

        How’d I do?
