re: Do you have this problem when watching football with your wife or gf

I tell my girlfriend that I hid a Pumpkin Spice Latte somewhere in the backyard. Keeps her busy for hours.

frick me, this really made me laugh out loud. Nominate for post of the year!

Well the wife would not stfu. Her husband told her what an important game it was and to stop talking fifty times. She's like lemme say this one thing. It's important. Then proceeds to ask him about going on a vacation in February. And she kept reading facebook posts and asking us to look at pics and videos

I wanted to choke her. I can't imagine having to deal with that every game. Why do they even act like they like football and are watching the game? Why not just go watch the real housewives or some shite in another room?

I don't have this problem because I have an SO that actually likes football (or at least college football). She will do that stuff sometimes during Saints games, but she is 100% focused on football if LSU is playing.

this is why I dont have any desire to go into the games anymore. I rather sit at the tailgate or just not go to campus at all

It was really disappointing. We rarely experience assholes because, like I said, we keep to ourselves. But man. This guy was awful.. and that is after another guy acted like a total jerk on the way in.

When I told this random man who was being awful to my group to stop being rude, his voice cracked and he goes, "Well.. HE STARTED IT!"

I felt like a mommy to a 30-something year old man

Meh. I watch every week and I care a pretty decent amount, but I don't deal with someone screaming at the TV constantly (for things that aren't obvious matters of frustration) and acting like an idiot. Thank goodness Jones made the decision on his own to cut that shite out.

I don't need the pets hiding under the furniture and you scaring the shite out of me with a random outburst.

After that bullshite flopping drama fest during Brees' hail mary yesterday, we both jumped up in shock. Then we sat down. And continued eating snacks/chatting. There's a way to care without acting like a mental patient.

it's not an lsu gameday unless someone says the n word in front of a black person or pukes in a sink.

Sounds awful.

Yep, life's complete got to see the Saints win it all.

I don't hang out with girls that do that. BUT mriluv said he went to our friend's house to watch the game and the friend invited a guy and his wife from his son's peewee football team and the dude talked the entire game. I would have come unglued if I had been there. People like that piss me off.

Do you have this problem when watching football with your wife or gf

---

yes
a) she talks the ENTIRE GAME, even if she loves the team. Often times not about football. But she really is asleep or talking there is no sit in silence with her.
b) She does not understand the basic rules of football despite watching 6-8 football games a year. Every year I have to explain holding, pass interference, college FB overtime, Pro FB overtime, the playoffs, etc.

Depends on the seriousness. I care. I have friends that care. I also have friends that don't GAF.

It's fine to care, I'm okay with my wife being a fan but if she were to provide me with by name stats and other trivia stuff that I don't know then I would look at her weird.
