How "crazy" do you get watching a game?

[Killbox]

I have to admit that my wife does not understand me at all when it comes to watching a 'Skins game. I try to explain that a love for a team started in childhood is a passion that cannot be tempered. My wife calls me "crazy" every weekend and I'm looking for some support.

First of all, I hardly ever sit down. I'm right up on the bigscreen (or laptop) like I'm part of the play or something. I'm not proud of this, but I cuss like a drunk sailor unless my daughters are home, then I just cuss like a sober one.

I'm not for breaking stuff or throwing furniture, but items have gone airborne from time to time.

I also do 'Skins math right up until the end. "If we can just score twice with only 2:45 on the clock and recover on onsides kick then we still have a chance."

A loss burns in my stomach like a hot coal for days after. (Ok, I really never get over them. I'm still pissed about Detroit last year.)

My family just doesn't get it, but after 14 years together, they know to never say those fateful words, "It's just a game" in MY house.

i agree...to an extent. I do get a little over tempered during game days, but i think its because this team breaks my heart time and time again. I'm the type that keeps HOPING each weekend...then we get slapped in the FACE over and over again!! its something that can't be broken...it's like bread inside me since birth (thanks, Dad for raising me a SKINS fan).

If we have to kick a field goal to win or tie a game I close my eyes put the TV on mute wait 7 seconds the resume watching in disgust after seeing what transpired.

i get pretty heated, but my family and girlfriend are usually around so i may throw around a few cuss words, but i mostly just bottle it up inside until i can't take it anymore and walk out of the room during a commercial break

I'm a pacer. Between plays, I'm pacing back n' forth, then before the snap, I typically kneel down, observe, and pending on the play, jump then hoot, or curse and go back to pacing. I rarely sit still, and remain nervous throughout. The only time I relax is commercial, or in the super unlikely, ultra rare occasion the Redskins are blowing out the other team.

[CoolUsernameHere]

I'm typically out in public watching games, since I live out-of-area. So I try to keep pretty chilled out in those situations. But when a game is televised nationally and I can watch it from my home, I can get kind of rowdy. But usually I'm just on my sofa with my hands on my head, with my heart beating a mile a minute. I don't say much or curse much unless something really awful happens. And when we score I'm known to bust a dance move.

I remember back when I was in high school, me and a few of my friends would end up huddled about 2 feet away from our 70 inch TV during the playoffs in 2005. My mom walked in and probably thought we were doing some satanic ritual, lol.

[Midget Mafia]

Oh my...I know exactly what you guys mean. People just dont understand how much we love the redskins. I'm pretty wild at home but when I go to the games all hell breaks loose.

[Skins_Fan82]

I'm crazy. I scream at the top of my lungs every time we get a first down. At the top of my lungs!!

when we score, i run around the house and play hail to the redskins on my keyboard

when we lose, the rest of my day is ruined. i dont' want to do anything but go to sleep.

[MLiverpool]

I get a little nuts. It was during a Redskins/Eagles game years back that I threw a small "cushy" Redskins football and broke a window (it had blinds up, and I didn't realize I could throw a cushy ball that hard...)...

The landlord was very understanding, thankfully. :-)

[respectgibbs]

Full blown insanity

[Forehead]

I pace a lot when I'm at home, but I don't curse as much as I used to, I think I've been too beaten down over the years.

At the stadium, I get really into it if it's a division game, otherwise I'm pretty calm and just trying to have fun/make fun of visiting fans.

[youngestson]

Much more than I should, but not so much that I show up on the local news. However, my levels of intensity have been dropping for a while. I can now walk away from games before the end and not feel bad.

Most of my optimism has been beaten out of me over the last 13 years or so.

My Wife was very late in her pregnancy when we opened against the Giants two years ago. I was so upset at a call near the end of the game that I got up off the couch and yelled at the TV.

The baby jumped...

[Mark The Homer]

I have a bad habit of yelling at the top of my lungs without warning. This causes small children to break down in tears and run for their mothers. I really don't have any control of it.

[thebluefood]

It's a madhouse! A maaaaaaaaaaad hoooooooooooouse!!

I refuse to watch Redskins games (at home) with other people.

[#98QBKiller]

If we're doing bad I get pretty heated during games, if we're doing well I get excited and scream a lot any way. So no matter what I'm making noise lol.

[Homercles82]

I tend to punch the couch. If I am at the game I get pissed, go inside and buy garlic fries or a milkshake.

[skinnyfan57]

I wash my hands about 150 times per game, make racecars out of my poop, and burn my penis with lit cigars.

Wow. He wins.

Can I copy and paste this whole thread to my wife's facebook page? I swear she thinks I'm the only one that loses my mind during a Skins game!

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Man every first down I jump like fool and every touchdown I run around my house

when we lose, my soul dies for the day

[SIXX99]

I generally watch with my Dad and we get pretty intense. Stuff gets kicked, expletives are used in just about every sentence, and the phrase "Damn, why do we suck so bad?" gets thrown too often.

[SoulSkin]

My wife no longer even really tries to speak to me when the Redskins are on. If she does need to, she makes sure it's during a commercial or halftime. It's funny to watch her come into the living room a few times every game day, and just turn around and go wherever it is that she goes while the game is on. For that matter, most of my friends won't watch Redskins games with me anymore because I constantly ignore them if they try to make small talk and remind them to stay focused on the game. I'm usually pacing around in front of the TV anyway by the end of the games. I guess I'm pretty unbearable to watch games with...same way with the Superbowl. I hate superbowl parties. I just watch the Superbowl alone, and if I have to be around people, I end up on some secondary TV where it's nice and quiet.

- Its abnormal chaos.....
