(Your pilgrim never says 'bro,' but he hears teh guyz use it like all the time.)
"My [New Orleans] Saints [that's a football team] are horrible this year. I don't know what to do about it."
Uh oh, sounds like the 'bro' is like, down two, 30 seconds on the clock and, Oh Noes! the ball's at THE OTHER TEAM'S TEN: TOO FAR to go for a field goal, and Win The Game.
This analogy, of course, is stupid sports stuff even your pilgrim knows, because easy. Also, teh guys always use sportz stuff to explain everthing. Otherwise, their 'buds' would not understand.
And yes, even your pilgrim knows there are plays that could be called. Like the 'Hail Mary.'
Here's how it works: At the snap, the QB kneels, Tebow-like, prays to the Blessed Virgin, who actually doesn't care for football, then rises to throw the ball to the essential asshole (his spelling of "team" uses the letter 'I') known as the wide receiver.
The QB's prayer is, "Yo, Mary, Mother of God: Please guide my pass to the receiver, turn the ball into Velcro loops and the receiver's hands into Velcro hooks. Amen. p.s. Been in a dry spell lately. Would really like to get laid tonite. I mean, you're like a chick and all, but you got powers, and stuff, right?")
