The Football Fan’s Diet

PITTSBURGH – I will have to say totally revamping one’s lifestyle is not an easy thing to do. I have been irritable as hell the past couple days. Case in point, since last week my wife and I have been deliberating on whether to watch the “Other Boleyn” flick or save it for another time (Yes, I know it is a period check flick and all, but she sat down and watched the Colts lose in OT with me last week. She deserves her time with the remote too).

Anyway, we have a boob tube in nearly everyone room but the living room. The HDTV is in the basement game room. Here also is my bar/desk, Football Fan’s Diet Studio and my work-from-home-office (Note to IRS: this room is solely used for work-related purposes. As you can plainly see, Audit Man, I have a football dieting web site. Therefore I must watch football on HDTV in my office to bring home the low-fat Canadian bacon). Needless to say, I spend a lot of time down there. When I clean it up, perhaps, I will share a tour on the FFD. But, I digress.

The point is that I keep delaying watching this chick flick upstairs by stating that this movie looks “far too good to watch here on this old TV” in our bedroom. Let’s “save it for watching it on the HDTV” in the game room. For days she agreed that we could wait until we were all gathered in the game room.

However, last night we were down in the game room clicking through channels and she called me on my promise. She said, “Hey, why not watch The Other Boleyn?”

With a sour look on my face I said, “If you really want to, how about we watch it upstairs so we can lay down?”

That is when she asked me if I was undergoing menopause or something! I had to laugh at this.

“No,” I said. “Just The Football Fan’s Diet!”

We haven’t watched The Other Boleyn yet, but we’ll probably do so in the next day or so. May as well get it over with.

My theory is that a happy marriage is series of punting to your spouse. Moreover, Marriage is a field position game. Give a little. Expect a little. There is one caveat though – you best make sure you married a franchise spouse and I happy to say I believe I am set in that regards. I have heard that drafting over again is highly expensive.”

By the way, I chalked up another TD and FG yesterday. I may skip the Y today as I am beat. Beer is haunting me. I may have to have one soon. Beer. Beer. Beer. Must have Beer.
