I joined a football pool last week. Granted I’m not up on team stats like I should be to indulge in such a venture. I’ve never even heard of the newer quarterbacks (and newer to me is anyone born after 1980). Basically Brett Farve is the only name with a familiar ring.
Yet with my limited knowledge I was expected to circle the winning teams. Since I couldn’t do that task based on any solid facts and Hot Wheelz and Cheezy, the avid football fans, were out of the pocket, so to speak, I decided to pick winners based on whose outfit I liked best. I’m pulling your leg. I know their outfits are called uniforms.
Blue is my favorite color — any shade. Based solely on that detail, I circled the Bills, Panthers, Bears, Dallas. No, to the Broncos. They mix dark blue with orange. I hate orange. I’m a summer in the color code. I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing orange. I continued circling — the Lions, 
Indianapolis Colts (when did they move from Baltimore?), Patriots, NY Giants, St. Louis Rams (when did they move from Los Angeles? j/k), Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Miami (a variation of blue).
Too bad it wasn’t a college pool. I could have scored a sneak play with a blue UCLA pick over red Texas.
Based on final scores, I now confess I was wrong about my losing orange and blue theory. It seemed to work okay for the Chicago Bears. Go blue and orange!

This is such a cute story Penny! Enjoyed it very much ; )
Picking Blue may be okay picking football teams but definitely not the way to select in political events.
