Woman of the Year
My wife turns into a different person when she watches a football game and after all this time I still have not come to terms with it.Not really. I just avoid it. Normally, she is quiet, polite, and unassuming - the perfect wife and life companion. In front of a game she curses, she climbs the back of the couch, she screams, the cats hide, she talks on 2 phones at the same time while typing on the notebook computer, she drinks nothing and eats nothing, all focus is on *the game* and when it is finally over it's like someone let the air out of a beach ball, and I'm glad things are back to normal.....til next year. The key to a long (30 years), happy marriage is a detached garage. Posted by: ghostsniper OK this is getting out of hand.... @ AMERICAN DIGEST

Your Say
She was a Colt's fan before there was a Colt's and still believes Manning is a Colt at heart. Today her colt threw her and she is crestfallen. There is a funeral in our house tonight, hope has died and a veil of cold silence abides. But she is my lifemate and though at times tomorrow and later she will have her somber moments in reflection, she will not allow them to effect us. Tomorrow is a brand new day - the first day of the rest of our lives. Til next year, same bat time, same bat channel and it'll be Groundhog Day all over again.

She's just channeling Boudicca. No need for alarm.

At least she is a real fan of the sport rather than the fake fan just tolerating the game, asking a bunch of stupid questions, but really waiting for the predictably lame, if not ghey, half-time show.

Ghey? I love it.

My wife is a Denver girl, Broncos fan since they started. It'll be cheese sandwiches and "the look" for a week or so, even though I am a Broncos fan too. You'd think she would be used to losing by now, sigh.

I did not voice this to her. She would not appreciate the subtlety of it.
Watching that game was like seeing a deer caught in the headlights get clipped by a car and crawl off to the side of the road, taking an hour to die.
