@sophocles,
It's about American football.
Once I realized 'religious worthies' were saints, it hit me.

Quote:...two annual conferences, some interesting conversations could be observed. At one conference, former presidents Ike and LBJ were discussing with some loyal nationalists which of three types of steed they preferred. At the other, some religious worthies, past and present, were considering three birds and which cats could catch them.
Ike = might be the Kansas City Chiefs (IIRC, he was a Kansan)
LBJ = possibly the Houston Texans
Loyal nationalists = the New England Patriots
3 types of steed = possibly the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, and the Green Bay Packers?
Religious worthies = the New Orleans Saints
3 birds = the Philadelphia Eagles, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Seattle Seahawks
cats = might refer to people, so that could be the KC Chiefs again, the 49ers, and the Packers
The 2 conferences are the AFC (American Football Conference) and the NFC (the National Football Conference), in that order.
