I turn on satellite radio tonight, which is preset to the NFL station. So, I know I'm going to hear about football. It's pretty much a guarantee.
Why, then, when I hear the phrase "…he used to play for the Oilers back in the day…", do I first think of the number 2.71828…?
All I'm saying is that they shouldn't have named a football team after an 18th century Swedish mathematician. It's confusing.
