Yea give the man a break, I am in a similar position and I might not be able to watch the game because of significant other issues.
My signifigant other somehow gets a little less signifigant when the skins are on.

Dudes,
Let me telll you my story. On my first date with my wife I set her stratight. I told her right then and there that when the Redskins are playing I'm in front of a TV some where watching it no matter what family events or crisis there is!! That way she understood from the get go. She also wanted to have a September wedding in the worst way, my anniversary is August 13th. I told her that if we got married in September the first day of our honeymoon would be spent in a sports bar some where watching the Redskin game. Even my daughter moved up her birth date so Dad wouldn't be interupted from the football season. She was due the first weekend in September, her birthday is July 23rd. :biggthump

Thanks guys.
Hooskins--it's tough what we do for love and family, eh?
Summo--Wow! You've got the proper set up. Nice of your daughter to get off on the right foot with dad! (My wife's been great all season, but this one she put the foot down... if only we were playing Sunday...)
CantheTuna--my wife is happy I go to a bar to watch the skins: that way she doesn't have to feel "insignificant" every week!
If none of my TiVo friends step up, I'll buy the VCR--I would have spent as much going to the Falls bar anyway.

The VCR broke a few weeks ago, and we're planning to get a DVD recorder instead--so I'm caught in between technology. Oh, well--given how cheap VCRs are now, it's no big.

Hey now, I don't have a VCR...haven't had one for 5 years now.
Go buy the VCR and do not listen to any TV or Radio and when you get home watch the game just as you would if it was a live game.
Great Idea....you can get a VCR for 20 bucks, these days

I'm right there with ya man. I havent missed a game in 3 years, and I could *potentially* miss the very end of Saturdays game due to a broadcasting commitment, depending on the outcome of Fridays game. F'n Contracts!! I'm going to be activley rooting against my own team on air tommarow so that my Saturday is 100% free! LOL.

Its official I will not be able to watch the game this weekend, I'm in your boat JWsleep....:(...I think i'll do the VCR thing, but its gonna be really hard not to hear the radio, watch highlights, or avoid people that have seen the game.
