He watches some NFL but he prefers college, and thankfully no NBA (I hate it.) I know it could be worse, but I still get annoyed when we have to watch football ALL day on Saturdays! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623561 Fri, 09 May 2014 08:15:34 +0000 alohaorchid 1623561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. He's into all sports, all the time. TV, phone, conversations, etc, he really really likes sports! Especially hockey and golf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623532 Fri, 09 May 2014 07:59:52 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1623532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: i'm lucky in the fact that we both loveeee football. So we watch together and also play fantasy football. We also watch the yankees together.</p> <p>He watches golf and college basketball too which i find boring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623473 Fri, 09 May 2014 07:35:04 +0000 Rockies11 1623473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: my husband sounds a lot like yours, except he has to watch as much baseball as possible too, and he has a really bad habit of getting into the local sport when we travel - so like when we were in India, he got obsessed with cricket, and whenever we're in Europe he gets even more into soccer. Sigh. The sports channel is always on at our place! I am hoping it teaches the kids that tv is boring, ha ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623438 Fri, 09 May 2014 07:07:31 +0000 Koolbreeze 1623438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He loves pro football and baseball. I do too though so it definitely doesn't bother me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623431 Fri, 09 May 2014 07:04:21 +0000 Mamaof2 1623431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly college football! He gets PSU tickets every year which means I rarely see him on the weekends and our anniversary is usually spent at a PSU game! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623411 Fri, 09 May 2014 06:52:34 +0000 looch 1623411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all, but he has other time suck hobbies, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623393 Fri, 09 May 2014 06:42:23 +0000 Greentea 1623393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even a little bit. We dislike sports and got rid of our tv. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623382 Fri, 09 May 2014 06:25:54 +0000 NCSUchick27 1623382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is not into them at all. He barely knows which sports are playing in a particular season. I am more into sports than he is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623373 Fri, 09 May 2014 06:16:12 +0000 ValentineMommy 1623373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. One of the reasons I love him lol</p> <p>When I was pregnant, we even went to a cloth diapering workshop during the superbowl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623314 Fri, 09 May 2014 03:08:14 +0000 bookwormmama 1623314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's pretty obsessed with sports. He watches all of the drafts (NFL, NBA AND MLB). He plays fantasy baseball and football and follows TONS of sports writers/information people on twitter and several blogs to get "the scoop" on varies things in the sports world. We go to minor league baseball games a lot because we don't have a pro team and they are a lot of fun...I actually have become a bigger baseball fan because of it. Our son's nursery is a baseball theme thanks to DH's obsessions. </p> <p>He tries to watch his tream when they play, but he's a fan of two west coast teams and we live in the Midwest so it's harder. We watch college and pro football every Saturday/Sunday/Monday but I'm ok with that because I love football. I miss having season tickets for my college team...I freaking loved going to the games. He also occasionally watches golf and is a big hockey fan (he had season tickets for our college team) but it is harder to watch hockey regularly without a package because it's not as popular as other sports. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623298 Fri, 09 May 2014 02:21:01 +0000 nana87 1623298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of the sports!! He is totally obsessed. In rough order of importance to him, he watches baseball, soccer (mls, British, and the league where countries play each other), hockey, nfl, college basketball, college football. And then sometimes nba.. And occasionally golf or tennis if it's a big tournament. It's a rare day that sports aren't on our tv at least briefly. Luckily he will use the dvr to watch games faster, that saves my sanity! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports/page/2#post-1623203 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:53:50 +0000 autumnlove 1623203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super obsessed. I was obsessed before I had kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1623196 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:48:50 +0000 msmug 1623196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I'm more into sports than he is... And I rarely watch any except for tennis grand slams occasional football games </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1623169 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:34:23 +0000 sunny 1623169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So obsessed! However, he has made some concessions. We used to have to plan our weekends around his sports. It was probably the biggest thing we fought about! But now he just tapes everything and watches it as he has time during the weekends. He isn't on social media much so he doesn't tend to get spoiled if he is a few hours behind the actual game.</p> <p>Football -- He watches his college team and the Seahawks.<br /> Basketball -- NBA only, though he will watch a bit of March Madness. He has cut back a lot on NBA -- he barely watched any of the regular season this year. He's been watching a lot of the playoffs though.<br /> Hockey -- Luckily his team is hard to watch in our market. So he catches the occasional game.<br /> Soccer -- He watches Eurocup &amp; World Cup and wakes up super early if necessary. Thankfully it is only every 2 years!<br /> Tennis -- We both enjoy tennis so we watch together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1623159 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:25:06 +0000 Elderberrygin 1623159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's big on soccer. I'm pretty okay with that as it means he gets up at ungodly o'clock with the time difference on Saturday and Sunday to catch the English Premier League games. He watches his games while getting LO up and fed and dressed and I get to sleep in.</p> <p>ETA: Matches! Soccer matches. (Can you tell I have no clue about sports?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1623157 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:24:37 +0000 Weagle 1623157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not obsessed with anything. Well, we watch every Auburn game, which is okay because I want to watch too. He's mildly interested in baseball, likes watching basketball playoffs okay, likes to keep up with big golf/tennis events (I do too), and is semi-interested in pro games. He does try to catch a bit of our local teams just to keep up, but he's definitely not a huge fan. Overall, unless it's Auburn or the Masters he's fine with getting updates on his phone at the end of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1623133 Thu, 08 May 2014 22:09:08 +0000 hellobeeboston 1623133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm, yeah - I just watched the NFL Draft for 2 hours... And the bruins game in between picks. </p> <p>Could care less about hockey - but I do like football! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1623067 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:40:49 +0000 MediaNaranja 1623067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing that he MUST watch is the fifa world cup. His country qualified this year and he's already pledged to watch every game live, and also insists that we need a larger tv (yeah right, haha). I hope his boss is ok with him taking a month off, haha. He doesn't understand why the whole country doesn't shut down during the world cup like it does where he's from, haha.</p> <p>He couldn't give fewer shits about any other sports, thank god. Luckily the world cup is only every four years ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1623059 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:37:07 +0000 Mae 1623059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: oh my husband works with a bunch of 20-30yo mostly single guys. They are the CAUSE of the amped up sports-watching I feel like lol. I think they spend about as much time talking sports as they do working sometimes. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1623058 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:35:07 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1623058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I *thought* the draft was safe from he and his friends betting, but nope - one of their "mock drafts" is a $25 winner take all. Fortunately/unfortunately, DH wins enough to keep doing it. And obsessively researching and watching to keep winning. </p> <p>Same with fantasy, @Mae: every game, every weekend, all season. He was in four fantasy leagues last season - which was a major improvement from the 7-8 of previous years, since we have a LO now and he "doesn't have as much time." HA!</p> <p>If he devoted this much time and energy to his actual job (where he is already successful), he would probably be running the company :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1623049 Thu, 08 May 2014 21:27:08 +0000 fancyfunction 1623049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's currently watching the NFL draft and live texting it with friends. So yeah, big, big into sports. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1622945 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:59:57 +0000 blackbird 1622945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, big on football but only his team's football, and he doesn't skirt his household duties over it. He's big on the draft every year. I don't mind too much. I have my own hobbies, after all! We are both into baseball, though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1622928 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:54:59 +0000 mediagirl 1622928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I wish I could be watching the draft!! </p> <p>My husband could really care less about sports. He always wants Jimmy Johnson to win the Nascar championships, though. Ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1622852 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:40:42 +0000 Mae 1622852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: the checking in on the phone doesn't really bug me. Also sometimes with less-important basketball games he streams the game on his iPad and has that on mute while he "watches tv" with me (only sorta paying attention). That doesn't bug me either because at least I sorta feel like we're hanging out haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1622839 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:38:45 +0000 hilsy85 1622839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: yeah, my DH has given up a lot of the watching of other games...but then he constantly checks ESPN on his phone. BUt I guess it's good that we can at least be out of the house? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1622836 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:38:03 +0000 Mae 1622836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: So does my DH. But he's going to have to adapt. Because me being on sole baby duty every Sunday all day so he can sit and watch football for 10+ hours is just notttt going to happen. So he's either going to have to give it up or learn to double-duty at least some of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1622829 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:35:38 +0000 hilsy85 1622829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: ooooh my god, fantasy. I HATE FANTASY. I have to watch a million games that I don't care about. Thanks, fantasy. </p> <p>And that whole dad on baby duty on sundays doesn't work here--DH is WAY too wrapped up in the game. He actually WATCHES like every minute of the game. it's crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1622820 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:33:48 +0000 sandy 1622820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really into pro football and has season tickets with his dad. I love football too so I don't mind </p> <p>Also really into Duke basketball bc that's his alma mater </p> <p>Loves all other sports but doesn't follow the games/matches obsessively...especially now that we have LO he just doesn't have the time/energy to watch the games</p> <p>We both like watching a good tennis match but don't follow any one player </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-obsessed-is-your-so-with-sports#post-1622809 Thu, 08 May 2014 20:30:28 +0000 photojane 1622809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's a football guy for sure. He follows basketball a little, but is mostly interested around the playoffs. I don't mind since I like football too. </p>
