Every year about this time I realize, I've hit the wall; I'm done. It's enough already. I literally cannot stand being in the same room with my husband who is ignoring me as I sit here and write on my blog (don't laugh, it's intended to be funny) while he talks to the TV or to the air but I'm sure it's not ME. I mean, he can't really be talking to ME can he? I really don't think he is under the very false impression that I am listening to him ramble about football. Could he be? I'm afraid to ask but nevertheless I'm fine to allow it to continue as long as he doesn't expect me to respond in any way shape or form.
Why do men talk to the TV during football games? I mean, why do the yell at the TV screen during football games? Do they think the coaches are listening? I mean, even if they were right there beside the flippin coach, before being hauled off the field, the coach would not be listening to them. Oh sure, they know exactly what the coach is doing wrong. Exactly what play should have been called, what the player did right or wrong. My fav is when he (my husband) makes a statement and two seconds later the guy calling the game (whatever he's called) says the SAME.EXACT.THING. Good Lord. I just get up and leave the room because then he proclaims, "See? Told ya" and all that comes with that is big puffed up man that knows the whole deal. Once I looked at him and said, "Hey, you should be a football coach" to which he confidently replied, "yeah, I know" muffled laugh from the peanut gallery.
I'm just done with it. It's inane unparalled behavior that has grown old to me. Every year, we go through it. Or wait, every year, I go through it. He loves it. I love him for loving it. I totally see that he thoroughly is having a blast watching and commenting. I'm just over it now. Can we bring on the golf and tennis already? I'm just saying.

No JOKE! I'm already thinking that in my head! No offense you football fans but it's what makes the world go round right? What floats some boats does not float others and NFL does not float mine. But how GOOD am I that I will (when it's a big game to him) sit beside him and watch while making NO smart comments to him? I'm good. uh huh. He better start saving NOW.
