will football season ever end?!

sweet_melissa81

For the love of God can football season please end?! I love college footbal, but I am getting sick of watching so many footbal games. My fiance watches whatever football game is on. I don't mind if we watch our hometown teams play, but EVERY SINGLE FOOTBALL GAME?! Not to mention that baseball, hockey, and basketball seasons all run into one another. Right now he's screaming while watching the Lions and if they lose he'll probably be all moody for the rest of the day.

He is way into sports and that's all he will watch. Once in a blue moon, he will watch a movie with me or will watch a few of "our shows" (they're all on break right now", so if I want to spend time with him I have to watch the games or I can sit next to him on the couch while I surf the net on my laptop.

I wish the NFL would have had a lockout like the NBA. Is that mean? LOL

No, but the NFL was talking about not coming back next year due to money.

I don't really want the NFL to not come back. I want fiance to stop watching so many games and spend time with me.  I feel super needy.

I want the fantasy football to end (which I think it is wrapping up).  It got to the point where I would tune him out if he was talking about fantasy and why he did/didn't choose people and I had no idea who they were!  I actually got mad at him on Xmas Eve twice because of fantasy.  At home I was trying to get all of our stuff together and he was sitting on the computer looking at fantasy.  When he came down he was mad I didn't wait for him.  We were trying to leave and if I waited for him it would have been another 20 minutes.  Then I was prepping one of our foods at his grandma's house and asked him to help because I was having trouble and he gave me that "in a minute" line because he was talking about fantasy with his cousin.  Needless to say, he never ended up helping and one of his other cousins stepped in to help me.

Ha! I was wishing it was over during break. I spent an hour and a half in the car with my sisters talking about who would win what match up. My older sister started betting some

Carebear62584

Let me just add to my last post saying that I very very rarely get mad at him and we have never fought so the fact that I was mad is saying a lot.

And please don't get rid of the NFL, I'll never hear the end of that because FI's family has season tickets to the pats.  Just get rid of fantasy and I'll be happy!

I always tell FI that he is super lucky, because I love football.  We're huge Packer and Badger fans, so those games are must see every week for both of us.  I'll watch all the NFL and college games, though, football is my first choice if there is a game on, doesn't matter who's playing.  We're also watching the Packer-Lions game right now (of course!), but the Packers have quite a few scrubs in so I've been multi-tasking

I empathize when it comes to baseball.  I love my Brewers, but I don't want to watch EVERY game and FI does.  Baseball season goes from like March through October, and it seems like there is a game on every flippin' day!!

  I can understand where you are coming from. I am not the biggest fan either, but I will only watch my home team games, plus my FI's favorite team. Otherwise, if FI is watching a game, to spend time with him, I'll be in the room, but doing somethings else, (like lesson planning, or Wedding planning)

sweet_melissa81

I totally understand CareBear! He constantly is looking at scores on his cell phone to the point I get so annoyed with him bc we will be out to dinner and I will want to talk to him and he won't pay attention bc he is so involved in looking at scores. He reads a bazilion articles online that are all sports related. He watches sportscenter every morning and evening which I don't get at all! I mean goodness, you already watched ALL the games when they were on, so why do you need to see recaps?!

Danidawn20

Hmm... I asked my Fi about the recaps, and he says that recaps so some plays that are so amazing you can not get enough of them.

sweet_melissa81

He's still screaming about the Lions. LOL He actually never yells unless he's watching a football game.

Danidawn20

I'm sorry his Lions are losing. But as a Packer fan, I'm happy.

LOL..I wish there was football ALL YEAR LONG!!  I told FI that the coolest thing would be if the pros or college would change their season so I can watch my Trjoans part of the year and then my Broncos at a different time of the year!!!  I hate from Jan til Aug when there is NO football!!!

courtneyclare103

I love football! I wish there was football all year round. I am actually probably more into football than FI!

SheilaDancer43

I love football and I definitely miss it during the off season. I wish there was football year round. That is one of the main things that FI and I bond over. We love going to games, talking about football, watching games on tv, etc. Whenever there is a game on, no matter who's playing we will watch at least part of it. As for fantasy football, I play with FI so that's just something else we talk about. I like fantasy football.

KrisKenny

I tell my FI that he should be a commentator - of almost any sport. He'll be watching whatever sport (football - college & pro, baseball, basketball, hockey) and he'll say what the commentators say right before them. He'd be making us some pretty good money. He knows about all the players, stats, scores, etc, etc, etc. One day there was nothing on and I caught him even watching golf. Really, golf, come on now.

Now don't get me wrong, I'll watch some of the games, but no where near as much as him. Oh, and when a game isn't on, he's watching SportsCenter!

sweet_melissa81

I ended up watching the last two quarters with him. We were dying in laughter over the touchdown dances. LOL See the youtube video to see Tony Scheffler doing flash mob dance from the AT&T commerical.

<div>I dated a guy that is a commentator.  Believe me, <em>it gets annoying</em>.  I think I"ve been to every possible sport there is.  When we broke up I didn't watch anything.</div><div>
</div><div>FI and I watch football together (I gave him really great tickets to the christmas eve game) thank goodness our Raven's are doing good :)</div>

Football isn't as bad as baseball.  Or Hockey.  Those seasons are super long, with a million games.  I would scratch my eyes out if my FI was so into baseball he had to watch even 75% of the games.

The NFL did have a lock out.  It was during the off season.  And the NBA lock out is over.

kipnus

I am soooo grateful that the only sports my FI likes to watch are tennis and soccer, my faves to watch, too! When the World Cup or Wimbledon is on, we both get really excited!
