Watch Football

Articles on Football | Topics: football, footballs

Every fall I know I am going to watch football with my husband each Sunday. He has been a fan of the Buffalo Bills for a long time, and each year his hopes of a trip to the Super Bowl renews. Though I know that someone has to win and someone has to lose, my husband and I always have the same conversation about why the Bills are not in the big game at the end of the season. I do love to watch football with him, but at times it can be a dangerous pastime.

My husband does not just watch football. For him, it’s an experience that I cannot explain. If you were to be around to see my husband watch football, you would be under the impression that people can now communicate through the television. Not only does he yell at the players, he also yells at the coaches. He also disagrees with the announcers for most of the game. We don’t need to talk about what he says to the officials. It’s not pretty. In any case, it is amusing, but I am trying to break it to him gently that they cannot hear him through the television and the only thing that is going on here is that I get a bit of a headache.

Bit of History

... in the minds of search committees there is the lingering question: Can she manage the football coach?

—Donna E. Shalala (b. 1941)

I have considered inviting friends over to watch my husband watch football. On some days I think I might be able to charge admission. He’s very serious about his football, and you can tell by the way he carries on. What is scary about this is that he is otherwise calm, cool, and collected. It’s like football brings out the more aggressive side of his personality that is rarely seen. It’s almost as if he bottles up all of his emotions and then lets them out when it is time to watch football.

I can’t say that he is the only man that watches football this way though. I can’t tease him too much because I have seen this behavior in countless other men. For some reason the coaches are all stupid, and they aren’t qualified to watch football let alone coach it. It’s probably more common than anyone might imagine, and perhaps that is why men get so loud in sports bars. I have come to find out that this behavior doesn’t surface when men watch football. It comes around when they watch most sports.
