Note the date. May 20th, 2010. This is the date where, after watching this video, I am not completely horrified/still horrified of having at child at some point in my life. What's the old saying? When life gives you lemons make lemonade? So when life gives you a child make that child learn every NFL team logo before he can even say his own name or know his age? I think I heard that somewhere. Honestly this kid (Ben) has to be on the fast track to hosting The Blitz on ESPN by 2015. He is to NFL knowledge what Bobby Fischer was to chess. Chris Berman has been officially put on notice. Actually forget 2015, at this point I'm fairly certain if you sat down Berman next to Ben and pointed at random helmets Ben answers way more correct than the Swam.
So yeah, you can pretty much bank on my child getting the same type of treatment that this child is getting. Lock them in a basement until they can name every Brewer player from 1990-present, then make a youtube video and BLAMO; an overnight star. Parenting 101 as far as I'm concerned. I love at the 1:29 mark where young Ben answers "Cardinals" when dad points at the Chargers helmet. Dad: "Come on get serious now, I'm trying to make you a star, act like you've been there before!" And don't tell me for a second you didn't tear up when he called the Cowboys the Cowgirls. Bravo Ben! Bravo! But little did we know at that point that his jab at Dallas was a warm up for a double burn on the Viqueens, and telling Brett Favre to "Stay home grandpa." Ironcially Ken Macha may be getting that same message any day. The least the Brewers could do is get Ben to call Ken and deliver the message. Bonus word: grandpa.
PS: The Jaguars should 200% change their name to the Jag Waggers. I don't even know what the hell a Jag Wagger is but it sounds way cooler than Jaguars. My guess is attendance jumps the day the switch is made. Little Ben playing chess while everyone is playing checkers.
