Monday Night Football

This is kind of an old story, but I liked it. Justin and I were watching Monday Night Football, and I thought I heard some commentator say that one week "Matt Hasselbeck threw... to Moss" and I said "huh?" I explained to Justin that I am a fan of the Seahawks (the team Hasselbeck plays for), and they aren't one of the two teams I know of that have a Moss on the receiving end of pass plays (the Raiders and the Redskins). I then confessed that I wasn't a very dilligent fan, and a lesser known receiver might have escaped my attention and then had a remarkably good day. I pondered aloud whether there was a football player named "Moss" whom I might have been forgetting.

"Pete," Justin said.

"Ha ha, Justin."

"Seriously, that name sounds familiar. Pete Moss."

"Justin, peat moss is a kind of moss that grows in swamps."

"Oh," he said, laughing. And that was that.
