1. You look over at his phone to see who he’s texting only to see that it is a sports article.

You look over at him smiling at his phone. Nervous thoughts of infidelity and side hoes fill your head. you finally get up the courage to inconspicuously look over his shoulder at his phone and.... oh... its an article on how the Houston Texans made a trade with the New York Giants.

2. He always chooses the seat facing the game at a restaurant.

Host: "how many"

me: "two, and can you seat us where there is no TV in sight so my boyfriend will pay attention to me."

3. His idea of a date is taking you to a local professional sports game

This is not necessarily a bad thing. I could get into a game if I wanted to. Plus who doesn't want some good stadium food?

4. He makes plans surrounding his team's game.

"First we'll go to Corner Pub since they have good TVs, then on a commercial break we'll go back to the house with the game playing on the radio, and once the game is over we can think about going to meet your parents'

5. He watches house of highlights videos over and over

"Hey babe look at this alley-oop from last night. damn that's crazy" as he watches it 92391045 times

6. He always talks about his high school glory days of playing sports

"one time in high school I dodged 3 defenders then flipped over another one and then rolled into the end zone for a touchdown!"

7. He loves you as much as he loves the quarterback of his team

He has a shrine to Russell Wilson in his room. Ok, that's a lie but still...

8. You refer to his NFL team as “the other woman."

Him: "Hey, there's a game on tonight so I won't be able to see you"

Me: "ugh that bitch"

9. He is always in a bad mood when his team loses.

me: "Hey, wanna come over?"

Him: "I can't I'm too busy drowning my sorrows because the Seahawks lost their playoff game and won't make it to the Superbowl now..."

10. You basically never see him during march madness.
