40yearfan made a post about how consumed we get with football on another thread, so I was wondering what are some things that everone has blown off because of football. Whether it's standing someone up or not doing a report and whatnot. I want to see who is the most obsessive of our dysfunctional little family.
What are some things you have forgotten/put off/neglected to do because of football?

Let's see. Typical Sunday....
Wake up.
Walk to frig, get beer.
Walk to TV. Turn on pregame show.
Go to the crapper.
Wife nags about drinking so early in the day and why aren't I getting ready for church.
Can't hear wife. Terry's doing a spot on the Cards.
Go get leftover chicken leg from frig and another beer.
Look around. Wonder where wife and kid are at. Doesn't matter because Jimmy and Howie are lighting into Terry.
Scratch.
Game time. Need another beer.
Wife back home, wonders LOUDLY if her husband is ever going to shower today.
Halftime. Throw on yesterday's clothes to run to the store for more beer.
Second half. Drink more beer.
Order pizza.
Switch channel to late game.
More beer.
Haven't seen or heard wife in a while. Wonders to self where he put the credit card.
Second game over. Still no wife.
Take shower.
HAve more beer.
Wife walks in with alot of bags from PV Mall.
Cook steak on grill.
Turn TV to ESPN Sunday night game.
More beer.
Wake up Monday morning in my chair with severe cotton mouth and the wife screaming for me to get ready for work.
Ah, LONG LIVE SUNDAY!!!!

Thanksgiving's a killer ...
The family tradition is the women in the kitchen, both before and after dinner, cooking or cleaning. I'm the one female always in front of the TV, watching the game, and telling the others, "I'll be in soon ... I'll help in a few minutes."
At one point my mother yelled, "Get in here and do the dishes NOW!" I called back, "But Mom, it's second and goal!"
My Mom came out, hands on her hips. My father said, "Give the kid a break. It's second and goal."
After that I never had to do the dishes til halftime.

I missed my stepbrother's wedding because of a football game. He should know better. It was the playoffs.
Funny thing is his dad skipped the reception to catch part of the game too.
My family has tried an intervention but what can I say . . . . .

Re: Thanksgiving's a killer ...
That is a great story!
You see eventhough she might think I have mental problems, I got a goooooood woman! She understands that I will watch football, play football video games, and talk football for hours apon hours. But what does she care? It gets me out of her hair, it is not liek she doesn't know where I am (couch), she only askes that I get some stuff around the house done in about a week or so of asking me to do so.
Pretty much she knows I like football, and doesn't know why other women won't let their men watch as much as they want. As I said she is one cool woman. She is even starting to learn the game ever since she got interested last season.
The only problem is she is a Texans fan.

Feeling no pain
Sometimes I would forget to breathe. You know, like Plummer would wind up and throw it downfield. Yes. I would stop breathing then.
But for some reason, I never forget to have a cold one in my hand.

EXACTLY! You NEVER get married during football season - anniv is bound to end up on a Sunday!
I got married in early March - no f'ball, start of spring training, middle of basketball & hockey season, prior to MArch Madness.
My wife's best friend is getting married Sept 20. She's maid of honor. I am flying to Iowa for the ASU-Iowa game. She says I'm inconsiderate. I said her friend is inconsiderate for getting married during football season & that's the risk she took when planning the date!
