I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of sports nerds suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced
Let's see how I do without looking anything up
NFL - Easy! (American) Football.
Lakers - Basketball?
Red Sox - Baseball.
Hockey - Huh. The only team I know of is the one in my own state. I don't have a clue where the rest of the franchise is.
I give myself a 2/4 grade before I even check the answers.
Looking things up...Huh.
The Lakers are based in Los Angeles, and there are two hockey teams there (well, one is in Anaheim. I'm not sure whether that "should count"). The Kings and the Ducks.
The Red Sox are based in Boston which also has a hockey team, the Bruins.
I should probably also look up football teams, but meh. I just lost interest in looking up sports tidbits.
Lakers.. lakes.. lakes freeze over that must be hockey
Red sox , foot wear must be football...
And Bruins.. which is an archaic word for bear... And since it's archaic that means old people use it. And only old people watch baseball so that must be base ball.
How'd I do?
Lakes freeze over: hockey
Socks keep your feet warm: hockey
Bears are what give the Arctic and Antarctic their names: hockey
National Football League. Leagues are the measurement for water, which freezes: hockey
Not in southern California AFAIK!
Makes sense since they were originally the Minneapolis Lakers.
