8 Ways To Tell Your Husband Is A Sports Addict

By Dorthy Weatherbush

There is something particularly peculiar about sports season. It seems that no matter what sport, be it basketball, baseball, football, or soccer, something takes over every husband around the world and turns their wives into a "sports widow". There is something about sports that makes men like absolute zombies to the point that they cannot move away from the television.

The following are 8 ways you can tell if your husband is indeed a sports addict:

One: He talks about upcoming games before the actually get here and makes big plans for each and every one of them. He plan everything including is meal, is outfit, and where he is going to sit.

Two: He has a perfectly matched outfit for game day. He usually chooses a lucky t-shirt, lucky sweat pants, or even a lucky wife-beater. He wears this outfit whether it is clean or dirty and if you were to dare touch it, he would have a fit.

Three: He's so attached to his team that he not only knows all their names, but what the cars they drive, where they're from, where they went to school if they're on a professional team, and their pet dog's name.

Four: On game day he starts getting ready hours before the game. And the closer game time comes, the more the sweat begins to bead up on his brow. He shows signs of being nervous and literally begins to pace back and forth.

Five: On game day your husband is completely unaware of anything going on around him except for the game. He pays no attention to your son who is running a 104 degree fever, the dog who is urinating on the floor, or the cake that is burning in the oven.

Six: As game time moves even closer he has to arrange his food, beverage, and snacks perfectly so that he doesn't have to move or take his eyes off of the television. He even has the path to the bathroom cleared on the chance that he has to make a quick run for it.

Seven: Once the game has started, he'll be in front of the television for the next 3 to 5 hours. He will yell and scream, curse the refs, darn the commercials, the cheerleaders, and throw pillows all over the room. He will eat and snack and make a mess, just to the point that he forgets where he is.

Eight: One week later he's still talking about the game as if it was yesterday. That's how you know your husband is addicted to sports. - 29943
