The question is not if uzless knows more about ice hockey than me. I couldn't care less about ice hockey. The question is if I, having never played the game, would be able to reach the same level of understanding than him.

Your above intelligence was going to give you the knowledge out of thin air. The comprehension fail gets old. You were wrong just admit it. Or at least make an honest stab at the question.
Intelligence is the ability to learn and think, not knowledge about all issues on this earth.

You could study the game as long as you wanted and MIGHT become as good as some of the commentators who have learned the game through books and other knowledgeable people, but you would still miss many things.

LOL...It is a doorknob you noob! 😛
I really don't think you are half as bright as you think you are. (Palynka) Paly! 😵
Dumb as a doornail is a distant third.
That in no way makes any right... "Brain and Brain, what is Brain" (original Star Trek) lost to a misquote some time back. I think RHB found the sound-bite.
