Ten Thoughts I Had While Lovingly Supporting
Enduring a Day of Sports
Enduring a Day of Sports
My husband’s Flag Football league started today, and they
played 2 games. The Dallas Cowboys
played today, and the St. Louis Cardinals played. (These happen to be two of my husband’s favorite teams.) So what have I been watching since 3:00 this
afternoon? Well, in between caring for
my girls, socializing with fellow wives at the flag games, cooking dinner, Facebooking, and uploading pictures to my computer…I’ve been watching sports. One after another.

So while I’ve been NOT complaining about my husband’s full
enjoyment of his loves this evening on our shared TV, here were my thoughts.

1. On behalf of Dallas Cowboys fans, I have to say I’m a little envious of the Seattle Seahawk’s uniforms. Blue and Lime green? So cute!
2. Wow,
those 2 female Cowboys fans look unbelievably anxious and totally invested in
this game. Are they
serious? Or are they trying to be
“sporty” for the guys next to them?

3. I’m over these Matthew McConaughey Lincoln commercials. Okay, so he likes to drive, and he’s feeling very pensive and deep today. Got it.
4. Some
professional baseball players look so sloppy. It’s like they just rolled out of bed and
got on the bus, with their grizzly unkempt beards and cheek full of tobacco.

5. It’s
such a shame we caught up to the live show after DVRing the start of this game,
because now I have to watch the Dodge Dart commercial where the neighbor is
saying “Craig Craig Craig Craig Craig” repeatedly through the window
of the garage. I bet Moms of small
children everywhere despise it as much as I do, because it’s quite reminiscent
of a relentless nagging kids voice.

6. Do all baseball players chew gum?
They are ALL chewing gum. All
the time. For sure all Baseball coaches
everywhere chew gum. I guess, for some, this is to replace chewing tobacco. Or maybe it’s just another one of their many superstitions.

7. I’m
hungry. Again. Apparently the large portion of spaghetti,
meatballs, brussel sprouts and garlic bread that I ate 2 hours ago isn’t going
to be enough for the rapidly growing baby boy in my tummy. I should have some yogurt. Or cheese.
Or….cookies and cream ice cream.
Yes, that’s the one. Done.

8. I made a light-hearted pseudo-complaint comment to Oliver about how it’s been
sports-sports-sports today, so he just turned on Bravo for me during the
commercial break (of what is turning out to be a very exciting last few innings
for the STL Cardinals). Ah….home sweet
home. Just until the commercial break
is over, of course.

9. Okay, another
Matthew McConaughey Lincoln commercial. Oooh–that reminds
me! I heard Ellen Degenerous spoofed
one of these. I should find it and
watch it right now! 2 minutes later: I watched it, and laughed so hard that I
cried! I think she is so funny,
always! Click here to watch.

Bottom of the 9th… That would
be encouraging, except that the game is currently tied 4-4. I may have to endure extra innings. Nope! Some guy hit a homerun and the game is O-VER! Hubby is done, and the remote is MINE! Now I just have to decide which low-stress, veg-worthy reality or DIY show I want to watch.

P.S. My husband works hard, and deserves to enjoy some of the games he wants to see. He misses far more games than he watches. (Just had to stick up for him a little bit before I end this post.)
