........your own children are afraid to be around you on Sundays during "THE GAME" because you scream foul things at the TV, you jump up and down, get red faced, wish for very bad things to happen to the opposing players and take sadistic joy in their injury.
Then again.....I think I would have enjoyed "THE GAMES" at the Roman Coliseums as well.
Excused from all of her family gatherings on Sunday due to football being on, her family reunion is always on the same day as my Fantasy League draft, the Sunday of Labor Day.....have never been to the reunion.
Surprise B-Day party for a big wig and personal friend. Its out of state....pre paid...but departs on Sunday at 11 am and returns early Tues morning. I tell the wife and B-Day boy "No Way....and miss all the football".
Their response....."We're offended you are not going"
My response....."I'm offended you even FUKN asked"
-three generations of women in your family always check with the men before scheduling any family events on sundays in the fall.
-on mondays after your team loses, friends and co-workers express their sympathies immediately upon seeing you, and are on pins and needles around you all day, without even giving you a chance to prove that you're taking the loss in a mature fashion.
-on sunday mornings, your phone rings incessantly with people wanting to know who to bet, who to start, and who to bench.
-you engage in passionate arguments about who the best broadcast team is / was.
-you know who gave the 'run and shoot' offense its dersive nickname, the "chuck and duck".
If you ever have prayed during Sunday church services for, yeah, well, world peace and cures for diseases, but also a victory for a specific NFL team ...
1998?....LOL...try all the Bear game tapes from 1984 until the present, and all of the seasons highlight films game by game from 63-68...(highlight films aren't mine but am currently copying them) friend of mine got them online
thats right ...you're in gods country and you get bombarded with the Broncos...Remember my time there....had to run Westminster to the Old Chicago to catch the Bears games back in the late 80s so I feel for you. The one in Boulder didn't have the sat. feed then. Swilling down Bass Ale and singing "Sweet Home Chicago" among all of the other transplants....good times!
If you have a Sunday Restraining order on your wife and kids from 10:00 am central to 11:00 Pm on Sunday that prohibits them from setting foot within 200 feet of the two tvs in my living room.
I still like this one the best..... {If you have not eaten any Sunday entree for at least two decades that hasn’t been dipped out of a crockpot ...}...well done
Here's an embarassing one. I think it was the second Eagles game....where the Eagles collapsed on the Gaints.
The kids are away.....the wife isnt bothering me...upstairs doing something. I made a crock of chili thats been cooking for two days.....and the vodka is flowing freely. The Eagles are up big...and I am pounding the Vodka. At late in the 3rd QTR...I must have passed out...or had a little nap as I tell the wife....but no worries the birds are up big.
the wife wakes me to tell me the chili is burning...and stinking up the whole house. And...and I repeat "And"....she tells me "do you believe this game"...
WTF...my eyes clear....and I see the pass that ends the game for the Birds in OT.
So first I tell the wife...WTF.."you wake me for chili but not a comeback and overtime?" I then proceed to call her a bad luck charm.
Then i get "Your blaming me?".....my response "Your right...its the fukn chili's fault". So I grab the chili...run out to the yard and dump it over the fence.
The Vodka.....well... i put it on ice...we still had some late games.
But to top off this friggin mess....I email my friend jody mac at www.wpen.com and tell him the story. He is a good guy and enjoys this kind of stuff. Doesnt Jody read the email on the air...while I am working....to people listening to his show who actually know who "TacoBill' really is... With co-workers laughing....I quickly get named the chili-chucker.
Jodys show ends...and i figure the damage is over. But while i am driving home..the new host bring ups the chili chucker. I arrive home...and the wife is still pssed at me. I tell her "dont say a word" and tune in my new radio chili chucker buddies. By this time callers are commenting on the story and the wife gets a good laugh.
