Dad Comes Alive During Sports Section Of Trivial Pursuit

Suddenly taking interest in the match after zoning out during the first hour and a half of the National Trivial Pursuit Championship, this Thursday local dad Patrick Gilson propelled his family to victory by correctly answering every question in the sports section.

Gilson, who appeared visibly frustrated during the geography, entertainment, history, literature, and science sections of the tournament, only seemed to start enjoying himself once sports cards began to be drawn. “He was being a “Debbie Downer” the entire day until the question ‘What was Derek Jeter’s career batting average?’ came up,” said Gilson’ wife, Amelia, adding, “that was the most enthusiastic I’ve seen him in the past 10 years.”

Gilson’s vast knowledge of sports quickly helped his family take the lead but seemed to take all the fun out of the event. “I would be lying if I said it doesn’t bother me that he forgets my birthday every year but knows what Peyton Manning’s astrological sign is,” explained Gilson’s distraught son, Teddy. “What kind of man cares more about Shaquille O’Neal’s shoe size than his own children?” added Teddy’s sister, Kat.

After winning the tournament thanks to Patrick’s clutch performance, his wife Amelia further added, “That man has never remembered a single birthday or anniversary in his life.”
