godtomsatan Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Do people really have these problems with their sig o?

nhoops Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) After winning in my long time league 3 out of 7 years and winning last year in a league I just joined she doesn't really say much in regards to my obsession. She actually got really into the NCAA tourney and was in more pools than me. I told her that the next step is Fantasy Football. I say if you help her on the 27th and 28th and on the 29th AM she should have no complaints with your watching the draft....If she puts up a fuss you are in big trouble on Sundays this fall. But if she's moving in I find it hard to believe that she doesn't already know and accept your obssession. Good Luck!! Could be worse....you could have to go to a couples shower on draft day Edited April 17, 2006 by nhoops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swashbucklers Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 So she is moving in a few days before and this is what you plan on doing: giving her money and taking her to a dinner and a movie? I think that is a terrible course of action as you are setting the bar high. If that is the case, she will expect that sort of treatment whenever you want to watch something all day, whether it be the draft or games or anything else that tickles your fancy. The best course of action would be to not do anything, tell her this is the way that it is and she should probably get used to it. If she has a difficult time with this, tell her you can discuss it on Sunday night, after the draft. She needs to know about your obsession, and sooner will be a ton better than later in this instance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAUgrad Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I think you should tell her that you plan on having an all day action romp with her! Tell her that it is tradition that when a couple take that next step in the relationship that it is very important that they really get to know eachother during each person's favorite hobby! Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Make it a game... When Mel Kiper says "steal", she gets you a beer. When an ESPN analyst says "reach", she gets you a sammich. Whenever your team makes a draft pick, you get a Barnaby Jones. Gotta get her trained early... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Sacrifice the day. Help her move, then take her out to dinner, listen to her, and follow it up with a snuggle on the couch while watching Princess Diaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickvick Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 You shouldn't have to give cash to watch the draft.Dinner at 7:00 is more than adequate IMO.Maybe you should lay down the ground rules for your relationship before she moves in.You are a football junkie and ain't no woman gonna change that.If she really loves you she will understand,just ask my wife.

NAUgrad Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Here's a thought. Make a game out of it. Tell her that usually there is a pick every 20 min. Have each of you put together a 1st round draft order. Each time one of you gets it right, you have to do what the other wants you to do for the next 20 min. Like, clean the bathroom, help her put her clothes away, etc. for her side of things. I wonder what you could come up with for her to do.

cliaz Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Two words Sulfur Dioxide: When given in the right amounts it will put a human into hibernation until a time you wish to revive the person. Pump some of that into the air in the apartment and wear a gas mask. Then when the draft is over, open the windows and she’ll come around. Just tell her she got really drunk when you told her about taking her to paris and she passed out and missed the flight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Shouldn't your girlfriend have some importand girlfriend duties to perform during the draft? making sammiches, taking care of certain man needs, and all that? Be wary of what you sign up for, grasshopper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 She says, "Are you telling me you will be watching sports all day, on our move-in weekend?!" 1422564[/snapback] The fact that she refers to it as your move-in weekend should sound off warning bells in any man. Moving Day is Moving Day. That she wants to try to extend it like that is definitely a symptom of many more headaches to come... You mean you're going out drinking with your friends during the week of our six-month anniversary? No, silly. You can't go to Vegas this weekend. Remember last February when you agreed to go to that Couples' Shower with me this Saturday? It'll be fun! Spain will be there. I'm telling you Skilly, lay down the ground rules right away with this coming Draft, or you'll be rummaging through her purse for your huevos for the rest of your days.

Donutrun Jellies Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Hire a hot chick to meet her at the door when she's ready to move in. Propose a threesome weekend ... If she gets mad and storms off, odds are she won't be back until the draft is done. Problem solved. If she says "okay" then the draft can go unwatched ... problem solved.

Dr. Sacrebleu Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 New computer desk..........that is a great f'n idea! Too bad I already have one that is not in need of replacement. But maybe next year..... What do ya'll think: mall money, plus a dinner and movie? Is that fair compensation? 1422604[/snapback] Which option is cheaper: a 32.99$ IKEA table or mall money, dinner, and a movie? Which option is more enjoyeable: pulling a pretty good gag on your girflriend or sitting through Sisters of the Travelling Pants? hey you can spend your 6 hours fake working on assembling the thing and then throw it out, and it's STILL a way better option then your plan!

sacosud Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I don't tell my wife a dag gone thing when it comes to football, she just does not get it. I was firm in the begining I may budge on alot of stuff and I do...HOWEVER FOOTBALL is sacred and I will watch when I want, how I want, and most times with who I want.(the guys) and I try to be reasonable here.

Retrograde assault Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 If I had a new girlfriend moving in I wouldn't be watching the draft. But I'm an old fu-cker what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she excepts it. It's gonna hurt, but you might as well take the heat now. If you don't you're Sundays will forever be HER Sundays. Explain it as best you can, but make sure she knows that it only happens once a year (the draft) and you are going to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save cash, get served great food and spend time with your girlfriend all while watching the draft. Seems like a better plan if you ask me.
