Tips For Telling These Jokes
A.) Remember, you can adapt these jokes to your favorite team’s chief opponent. If you’re a Packers fan, make the butt of the joke the Chicago Bears or the Minnesota Vikings.
B.) Make sure you have the right audience for your joke-telling. If you have several non-sports fans in the mix, the joke might be destined to fail. Know your audience.
C.) Get the words right. The set-up and the finish must be spot-on.
D.) Have a backup plan. If one of your jokes flops, come back with a tried-and-tested winner.
E.) Confidence is king. If you don’t think it’s funny or question yourself, your audience will sense it. Be sure of yourself. Go in with great material.
