On her Instagram story, Aniston shared a clip from the 1996 Friends episode “The One With All the Football,” the show’s Season 3 Thanksgiving-themed installment. The episode saw Ross (David Schwimmer) and Monica (Courteney Cox) reignite an old football rivalry that dates back to their childhood and their family’s annual gridiron battle for “The Geller Cup” (AKA a Troll doll nailed to a plank of wood). Of course, they rope all of their friends into their grudge match. For more on this beloved show, check out The Worst Friend Guest Star Ever, According to the Creators. Aniston’s Rachel, who’s dating Ross at this point on the show, gets miffed that he doesn’t pick her first for his team, and a lot of her storyline in the episode revolves around her feeling like the gang is trying to avoid actually using her in the game because they think she’s bad at sports.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb In the snippet Aniston posted, Rachel actually gets the ball, runs outside the perimeter of the “field” while being chased by the boys, then hits Monica in the face with the ball when she tries to pass it to her.

Being that she was the only “friend” to post anything even tangentially related to the Super Bowl, it may very well be that the whole Friends cast was relatively indifferent to the big game.

She shared a cartoon from The New Yorker’s Instagram featuring two people sitting at a table and drinking coffee. One of them is reading a newspaper, and the caption reads, “Oh, wow, I can’t believe it’s already time for me to be vaguely aware that it’s Super Bowl weekend.” So if you also avoided the game and/or only tuned in for The Weeknd’s halftime show, you officially have something in common with Aniston.
