This was a topic on a sports station this morning in the D/FW area. The question posed to listeners was whether you wanted your wife to be a sports idiot, a sports fanatic or somewhere in between.
A sports idiot is one that thinks a no hitter is over in baseball when a batter actually hits the ball (regardless of whether its an out or not). A sports fanatic is someone who could tell you who threw no-hitters over the past decade.
My mom is somewhat of a sports idiot. Once she asked me why the men on the sidelines of football games wore an "X" on their vest (these were the guys who held the firstdown markers). I told her they were used by the quarterbacks for target practice. She bought the story.

MM
Oh shut up already.
Who be zotting me?
You closed-minded boob! :)
By the way, Max, if you see my wife today, wish her a Happy Birthday!
If you change you mind let me know. I have one you can have.
Oh, I am no such thing! What you should have done is put:
"Do You Want A Sports Fantatic for a Husband/Wife"...Ya boob! LOL
MM
Oh man, you have double duty today??? Valentines and birthday??? I almost have the same thing. My wife's b-d is later this week.
LOL
Being a girl, I dont see that happening, but Im sure your wife would be thrilled your willing to give her away :o)
MM
You can still comment. Are you a sports fanatic? If so, your hubby ok with it?
My wife is a baseball fan. She gets a lot of things today that many fans don't. (Thanks, in part to my scholing her). She will even watch a football game but I suspect it has something to do with her liking Tom Brady.....
Oedipus bump
Why do people assume I mean ZOT... maybe I mean before I start snoring... didja ever think of that?
:-)
I just want her to shut up when the game is on. Is that too much to ask?!
A sports fanatic is fine, as long as she does not like to gamble.
That's one of those good news, bad news things... it's really hard to forget her birthday... but if I ever do...
