DH is the EXACT same way.. but add Golf (whenever those big green jacket type events are on)

all.the.sports!

Not much at all. He's been into hockey a little bit this year, but not like, knowing stats/players or anything.

Ugh, I'm so sorry! DH isn't as bad as yours but he's obsessed with NBA basketball. He watches every game. Usually it doesn't bother me but sometimes it gets a bit old.

My H works for a sports team...so there's that, haha. He watches a LOT of games, obviously, but I can't complain too much because I get to go with him He's really only into basketball and football, I guess I should be thankful for that!

obsessed. We plan our days/outings around sports games all the time! It's crazy. And it mostly annoys me because when his teams do badly it affects his mood sooo much. I hate it!!

He watches NO SPORTS at all. Like, N.O.N.E; ever.

It's a beautiful, beautiful thing!!!

@Mae: i knoooww! he takes it so personally! so annoying. And he watches all sports! NFL (first love), NBA, NHL, MBA, college bball...he is even getting into golf! I put my foot down at that one.

@hilsy85: Yeah, this.

I knew what I was getting into when we got married, but OMG it does get really old after awhile. It's like a sickness. It's the absolute worst with football. I think he's super excited about the draft because he's in NFL withdrawal.

When my husband was still playing draft weekend was the worst weekend of my year. Stressful and boring all at the same time.

Really into pro football and has season tickets with his dad. I love football too so I don't mind

Also really into Duke basketball bc that's his alma mater

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

We both like watching a good tennis match but don't follow any one player

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

@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.

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!

If he devoted this much time and energy to his actual job (where he is already successful), he would probably be running the company

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.

He couldn't give fewer shits about any other sports, thank god. Luckily the world cup is only every four years

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.

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.

Football -- He watches his college team and the Seahawks.
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.
Hockey -- Luckily his team is hard to watch in our market. So he catches the occasional game.
Soccer -- He watches Eurocup & World Cup and wakes up super early if necessary. Thankfully it is only every 2 years!
Tennis -- We both enjoy tennis so we watch together.
