Jenny McNulty would NOT be happy...

Sue has this little collection of mini football helmets from when she was a kid. She has them all lined up on the entertainment center right below the big screen. She lines them up, helmet to helmet, according to who is playing whom for EACH game every weekend. The other day, she asked me who the opponent was against a certain team, because she couldn't remember the weekend's full lineup. I found the helmet she was talking about then picked up the opponents helmet.

"Who is it?"

I studied the helmet. Keep in mind these are now ancient artifacts, she got them when she was a kid. They saw a lot of action then, probably similar to what she's doing now.

"Hmmm. The Detroit Unicorns."

"Unicorns?! There are no Unicorns in FOOTBALL!!!" she exclaimed, a-la Tom Hanks' cry that there's no crying in baseball.

Jenny McNulty would not be happy with me. Maligning the sports prowess of her hometown team for her FAVORITE sport like that. Well, how do you think poor unicorns feel?! I don’t think they even LIKE sports!!! I’m not sure even sure how Unicorns would feel about Detroit. Turns out, it was the Denver Broncos. It had a big "D" on it, and I swear it looked like a unicorn, not a horse.
