Alright, so yesterday I was chilling, right? And my buddy texts me, “Yo, what time is kickoff tonight?” Now, I’m usually pretty good with this stuff, but for some reason, my brain just totally blanked.
First thing I did? I grabbed my phone. Obvious, right? Figured I’d just Google it real quick. Typed in “kickoff time tonight” – bam! A bunch of sports sites popped up. But here’s the thing, I wasn’t sure which game he was talking about!
So, I texted him back, “Which game, dude?” He’s all, “You know, the big one! The… uh… Championship thingy!” Real helpful, that guy. Okay, so “Championship thingy.” That narrowed it down… not at all.
I figured he was probably talking about football, because that’s usually his jam. So, I added “NFL” to my Google search. “NFL kickoff time tonight.” Bingo! A bunch of results for the NFL Championship game showed up. Sweet! But then there were like, a dozen different games listed. Seriously?
I decided to try a different angle. I remembered he’s a huge fan of the [Replace with a real team name, e.g., “Green Bay Packers”]. So, I Googled “Green Bay Packers game time tonight.” Finally, some clarity! It showed the Packers were playing at 8:20 PM Eastern Time.
To be absolutely sure, I went to the official NFL website. They have a whole schedule thing there. I found the Packers game, confirmed the time, and texted my buddy back: “8:20 PM ET, Packers game.”
He replied, “Perfect! Thanks!”
