His Football Obsession

You&#39ve followed the Patriots forever &#39 you wear a Troy Brown jersey every game and love Tom Brady (especially when his helmet is off). But your boyfriend is a Patriots FAN. Scratch that &#39 he is a FOOTBALL FAN: He talks about football and nothing else from Saturday through Tuesday; is in a fantasy football league; and knows every play that Bill Belichick (the Patriots&#39 coach) ever ran. You can in no way (seriously) compete with the love of his life, football.

You can, however, understand his obsession, more so than he will ever understand why you use an eyelash curler.

Ever wonder why guys will race to chug an entire gallon of milk, despite the fact that they know they&#39ll puke in 20 seconds? Because all guys are competitive. They play vicariously through their team, meaning that a Steelers&#39 win or a Roethlisberger sack could determine their mood for the entire day.

The coaches are everything boys want to be &#39 strong and in control, which is why they coach their team along as they sit on a couch, becoming Monday-morning quarterbacks. Never question your guy when he says he could have made that pass &#39 always tell him he definitely would have.

Every player has to perform their exact task to win, making this team sport both intense and intricate. Boys want to be involved in every second of the game, so don&#39t even try to make out with him while he&#39s watching. He won&#39t talk to you for a week if he misses a touchdown pass.

Walk into any bar, and you might hear absolute enemies sounding like best friends if they&#39re both Redskins fans because they have a common bond. They also have something to talk about and analyze for the duration of the game and beyond. And who doesn&#39t want to scream at a TV while downing a beer with a complete stranger?
