  4. I guess we will find out the age of our commenters by finding out who thinks that line (or at least, as Tom notes, the song into which that line would fit smoothly) is obscure. Personally, I had immediate thought of Wonderful World:
    Don’t know much about history,

  37. I wanted to put NPhL Eastern League, which would have been cute and kind of reminiscent of this video, but that was a bit obvious, then I remembered that back in the day, all of the NFL divisions began with a C (Capitol, Century, Coastal and Central). Hence the title.
