No Football?!

Meghan: Why are you two looking so gloomy?

Mikko: We're worried!

Holly Belle: Worried? Since when do you guys ever worry about anything?

Tyler: This isn't just anything, this is football!

Mikko: Yeah, we're worried that the football season might be canceled this year.

Mikko & Tyler: No football!  Waaaaaaaahhhhh!

Daphne: Isn't the football season still months away?

Tyler: That makes it even worse!  We've got all that time to worry about it being canceled!

Daphne: Well, even if it is canceled, they can just show old games.

Meghan: Yes, there must be thousands of them.

Mikko: Old games?!? No wants to watch an old game.

Tyler: Why watch a game when you already know who wins?

Holly Belle: Alright, boys.  As Patrick would say, let's examine this logically. 

Even if it is a new game, there are only two possible outcomes: either one team or the other wins.

Tyler: Well, you can have a tie if --

Meghan: Shh.  Now don't complicate things.

Holly Belle: Thank you, Meghan.  As I was saying, you're 50 percent sure of the outcome before the game even begins.  So, it's like you really already watched half of the game.

Daphne: Yes, and when you boys watch football, you're not even paying attention half of the time!  You're too busy drinking root beer and stuffing your faces with chips.

Meghan: Or yelling and jumping up and down!

Holly Belle: Exactly.  So, when you put the two together, in the end, there's really no difference between watching a new game and watching one that you've already seen.

Meghan: There, doesn't that make sense?

Tyler: Actually, it just gives me a headache.

Mikko: Me too.  Let's get out of here.

Holly Belle: Honestly.  And they say we're illogical.

Daphne: Can you believe it?

Meghan: I can't!  Boys!
