 Marriage, Interrupted

Leanna Baitinger
Mrs. Commish
 
So football season starts on Thursday.  That makes for very busy people at Ask the Commish.com.  The "ramping up" for the season is the bulk of the work for these football freaks, I mean fans.  As Mrs. Commish however, I have learned that football season is certainly not limited to the 17 weeks in the regular season.  We have the draft (and all the preps for that,) the preseason games, playoff games, overseas games and when all else fails, ESPN Classic for games that have been played years ago.  I have a sign in my home that says "We interrupt this marriage for football season."  Who knew that this would mean a year-long interruption?

So, to the husbands and boyfriends out there who know this situation all too well, my suggestions to make football season more enjoyable for your wife... and maybe then for you too:

  1. If you are a college AND professional football addict and you know the whole weekend is going to be spent in front of the TV, maybe try a little romance on Friday, so she'll be less likely to complain about your "Schwetty balls" on the sofa all weekend.
  2. Do NOT try to convince your wife that you need a new big screen TV so the two of you can more fully appreciate her "Chicago" DVD.  Please.
  3. DO keep your football habits and rituals a secret from her to avoid being publicly humiliated.  Mr. Commish has been known to change the shirt he's wearing 3 times during the course of 1 game because it clearly affects his team's performance.
  4. Before those pesky Monday night games, try to offer to do the laundry or something productive before the game starts.  Also, don't run around the house the hour before it starts yelling in her face "Are you ready for some football?!?!?!"  She's not.
  5. If you leave the house for a game, it's only fair to let her pick a few hours away another time.. and if she goes shopping for jewelry, oh well.
  6. Lastly, whatever you do, when she asks you to do something while you're watching a game, don't reply "Right after this play, hunny."  Yeah right.  And my husband's interest in gorgeous blonde twins is simply because they're a "miracle of science."
