A majority will know about RGIII&#8217;s rookie exploits and which teams made the NFL playoffs and which ones didn&#8217;t. A majority will know which NCAA teams are playing for the national championship. A good number will know which NBA team just had a 17-game winning streak snapped, and why it happened.
