The Official "How To Explain To The Wife Thread"


Montsta

Recommended Posts

So I raced home from work telling my wife I couldn't stop and get dog food or milk because this (MNF Vs. The Bucs) was the biggest regular season game The Cats have had. Now, only 2 weeks later, I'm going to be spitting that same line when they play the Giants and she wants me to mow the lawn.

I know I'm not alone on this, anyone have suggestions on how to explain that the Giants game is really the biggest regular season game now? This is gonna take a lot of Saturday Honey-Do list completion I suppose.

lol, I don't get that dynamic at all, never have.

maybe use an analogy featuring something she really loves to do?

Good call. I'll explain that it is like the Sale of the year at Macy's, only to have an even bigger sale of the year at Nordstrom's 2 weeks later. Very good call fireball...

Get her a copy of this so she can start to understand football http://www.amazon.com/Your-Damn-Beer-Watching-Game/dp/B000SOVC7S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228957627&sr=1-1

If that doesn't work do what I did to my husband. (Insert favorite...)

My husband is a die hard UNC basketball fan. He called me crazy when I stayed in bed for 2 days after the Panthers lost the Super Bowl. I proceeded to torture him every time UNC lost the following season. Now he is well trained. Empathy CAN be learned! :)

    • I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
    • I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
