On our wedding day, when the minister said "for better or for worse," I had no idea that "for worse" would come to include the Redskins football season.
I'm not a huge sports fan (I know you're shocked, right?). It's not the sports I mind so much. It's the getting the millions of dollars to PLAY them that bothers me. This is probably because I never played sports. Because I am not athletic. At all. I hit a baseball once or twice. Tried basketball in PE, but lacked the hand/eye coordination to actually make the shots. I wasn't fast. Dodgeball frightened me.
I was the drama queen. I danced behind closed doors. And I was really, REALLY grateful when guys like this . . .
. . . made it cool to be a Nerd.
I like to think it worked out okay for me in the end.
Unfortunately, I married a guy with the heart of an athlete, who takes every fumble and incomplete pass personally. He is a former athlete. I'm sure football season would be much more tolerable (for both of us) were he one of the guys who gets paid millions to play it.
It's all about perspective.
The Redskins lost, by the way.
And with that said . . . please remember me this fall and winter. Especially on Sundays. And Monday nights. And Thursdays. And Saturdays.
That is all. :)

I kinda married Napolean Dynamite! Hahaha! My husband (my very manly, mothorhead husband with great hair and clear nasal passages) would KILL me if he read that! But I do have to watch shows about guys working on cars every weekend...I feel your pain! I'm lighting a candle for you, friend!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. Just as baseball season is FINALLY ending, college football is starting.
ReplyDeleteI find painting my nails, doing needlepoint, and writing makes the games pass more quickly.
@Elizabeth: (lol) my hubs OWNS the TV. It's all home renovation, bike building, pawn shop, cop dramas ALL the TIME! I try to keep a book on hand. :)
ReplyDelete@Connie: I know! There is *no rest* between seasons. Last night I was writing, with my earbuds in, full volume, and I *still* heard the ranting. He needs a man cave.
I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope for a winning season. :)
