Lines that will make you sound like you know what you're talking about (it'll help if you head for the fridge after dropping these conversation starters):

• "There's a better chance that Teri Hatcher will step naked out of the Madden Cruiser than there is of Terrell Owens getting into this game."

• "You call three Super Bowls in four years a dynasty? These Patriots ain't got nothing on the Steel Curtain Steelers. The 49ers, maybe. But not the Steelers."

• "I'm so glad the Patriots got rid of Bledsoe and kept Brady."

• "I really miss the old Patriots logo of the Minuteman hiking the football."

• "If Justin Timberlake rips open Paul McCartney's shirt, I'm getting a V-chip."

• "Hell with Rumsfeld. Let's put [Pats coach] Bill Belichick in charge of the war!"

• "Las Vegas says the over-under on tubs of Gatorade needed to give [Eagles coach] Andy Reid an adequate soaking is eight."

• "I don't know where Terrell Owens has more screws loose, in his head or his ankle."

• "That's really Donovan McNabb's mom in those Chunky Soup commercials."

• (Sarcastically) "Boy, that Rush Limbaugh sure knew his football when he said McNabb wasn't that good!"
