gtdetri Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 ..as it turns out, should the Skins beat the Hawks, the next game is next Sunday and we have to help them move on Saturday. One bullet dodged. She's pretty understanding, so I shouldn't get too much flak for the dinner this Saturday. I was thinking when we beat the Hawks that the game would be played next Sunday. My problem is I have a flight Scheduled for 4pm ET on next Sunday going to Sacremento. This really sucks but I might have one reprieve and that is if the Skins play Chicago . My connection is through Chicago and I have a couple of hours lay over. If your wife does' nt understand that you must watch this game ( 12th man ) just tell her that you have a lot of supporters. Stopping you from watching this game will open up a whole in the universe and she will sucked through it. God is a Redskin fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinDan0557 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 My wife is diehard, so we'll be watching the game together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanTheBeastTaylor Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I think you need to get a wife that wants to watch the game or understands that you've got to watch the game... but that's just my opinion... you've gotta take these things into consideration before you make her your wife...

Murdering Purple Turds Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Has she ever watched a game with you??? My wife watched one game with me before we were married and from that point on, she knew how important they are to me. We've rescheduled trips, eaten Thanksgiving dinner on a TV tray, and pretty much changed our entire fall routine to revolve around the Redskins. Doesn't she have something she is passionate about? Like Golden Girls or Lifetime or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSkins561 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Here is a word of advice I was given. You need to set your expectations up front. At the beggining of the season I hand my wife the schedule and I tell her not to schedule anything on these dates during the times the Skins are playing. By doing that with the Skins in the playoffs she already knows not to schedule anything that will contradict with me watching the game. If she is trying to schedule something she always asks me "what time do the Skins play". Its as simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoosenUpSandyBaby Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 As a female Redskins fan for four decades please tell your wife that she needs to not schedule you for company dinners, family moves or anything else when the Redskins are playing. That goes for regular season and playoffs. You can compromise on preseason games if you want. We got married in Sept. and I let my husband know that neither myself, my mother or my brother would be able to attend a Sunday wedding. It was moved to Saturday. My aunt's funeral was even moved to this past Wednesday in part to avoid clashing with the Redskins-Tampa game. That's just how it is! We cannot be happy missing the game and spouses need to recognize this fact. BTW I am convinced that the Redkins have the greatest proportion of female fans in the NFL, and the most loyal. Anyone else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richanathai Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 If my wife gave me crap i'd be like "Hey go to the kitchen and bake some pie, woman" a la Eric Cartman style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselfan44 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've been with mine for over four years now. She asks me what time they play before scheduling anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchwood Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 My wife would be at the bar before I could get there, and she would tell her cousin to move themselves. There is a reason we got married in the spring, because it doesn't interfere with anything sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsbadd Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The bigger issue is that your wife told your cousin that you guys would help them move without even asking you about it. If you can't get out of it, go to a day labor site and pay a couple guys to help for the day, tell them your wife owns them for the day, and go home and watch the game.

ChiefPowhatan17 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Do what you got to do, brother. My wife didn't really understand, because she is from Spain, but now that she is becoming a Skins fan she is realizing that this is important for our team, ourselves, and our community.:logo::logo::logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXSkinsChick Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 BTW I am convinced that the Redkins have the greatest proportion of female fans in the NFL, and the most loyal. Anyone else agree? I absolutely agree....at the sports bar we go to, the Redskins fans have their own room where we gather each week. And I'd say at least half of that room is full of women lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes DocSandy and TXSkinsChick I do think the Redskins have many female fans, including my 79-year-old Mom. ! Reminds me I need to see if she wants me to bring over some barbequed chicken or something for the game tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskrat Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Oh, the story gets a little more intense: I show up to pick my wife up at work tonight, one of her coworkers, as he's leaving, says to me: "See you tomorrow night"....my response: "I'll be at the bar"....cue the dirty look from the Mrs. Her 'main' problem: She just got a promotion to assistant VP and is worried about how it will 'look' if I spend the first hour of the dinner (more or less the ****tail hour) at the bar and not making 'appearances'. I told her that I'm sorry but this is EXTREMELY important to me...it's the PLAYOFFs for God sake!! I may go through some hell this weekend, but it will be worht it, win or lose.
