Fall is the season of sports! The variety of football, hockey, basketball, and playoff baseball games on television make it the best time of year to be a sports fan, regardless of which team you support. But for some, sports just aren’t that appealing. If you are one of those people, don’t worry about it! Here are some things you can say at your next tailgate that will definitely convince your friends who are die-hard sports fans that you also love watching adults fight over balls of different sizes and shapes.

“Golly Marsha, your nine-bean dip is a home run!”

“You deserve a technical foul for that sweater.”

“Do you want to play a game of Quidditch with me?”
