Anderson Cooper Knows Fantasy, But Fantasy Football? Not So Much

Anderson Cooper Knows Fantasy, But Fantasy Football? Not So Much

CNN Anderson Cooper

Sportsball is clearly not on Anderson Cooper's mind, nor in his fantasies.

Anderson Cooper knows many, many things. But the out CNN anchor is the first to admit sports is not his forte.

During a late-night panel discussion on CNN, Democratic strategist Donna Brazile brought up the moment in Wednesday's Republican presidential debate when New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie "slammed everyone for talking about fantasy football."

There were chuckles as Republican strategist Ana Navarro said to Brazile: "You're going to ask Anderson Cooper about fantasy football?"

"Are you looking at me?" Cooper deadpanned. Navarro observed, "The look of sheer terror in his eyes right now..."

"You had me at fantasy," Cooper told Brazile. "But football, you lost me."

"Let's not get there, babe," Brazile replied.

"Someone had to tell me the World Series is going on right now," offered Cooper.
