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! :)

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
