Talking to a coworker about sports and somehow we got on the topic of Hockey and the Stanley Cup... this turns into a story about the Pens and Mario and Sid and I tell him they live in the same town I grew up in. From there I tell him about a pee wee football game I was at a few years ago and my cousin is telling me how his son isn't getting the ball because they stopped running once Swann joined the team. Now, I'm thinking he means a kid who plays like Swann... but it's really Lynn Swann's son. This isn't too much of a shock because he also lives in the same town and it's not uncommon to see him walking around...
Anyways... while I'm telling this story my coworker is looking at me like as in WHO THE F@#$ is Lynn Swann? Wait, huh, what??? This guy talks football all day long, is originally from right outside of Philly in NJ but claims he has never heard of Swann. He is in his mid 30's. I backed away slowly and haven't said a word to him in 2 days.
I don't trust him. Is this odd or common?
