How much does your spouse know about football?

[Ruhskins]

Reading the latest "Getting Married" thread made me think about this. Most of us probably has a spouse that doesn't care/know much about football. I was just curious about people's experience with this. Here is mine:

My wife is really not much of a football fan, and like many wives dislikes the beginning of the football season...a bit. But I have to give her credit, since she's come around a bit and toned down on her dislike of football. I think a lot of her dislike came from not understanding the sport. So I've actually taught her a bit about football, but I try to be funny about it (i.e. explain to her that a nose tackle is a big fat f*ck that takes on two offensive linemen, etc., etc.). She now watches some games with me, especially during the preseason. So I can't really complain about my situation. Although sometimes I do have to payback and sit through an episode of Project Runaway or something like that.
