[Bob Sacamano]

Ok, I'm officially creeped out...

hey, if you're 12 years old, and you get laid by some hot-arse 45 year old? do you complain? not I

even if she forced herself on me, after the 1st 30 seconds, I wouldn't mind LOL

All across the country millions of innocent wives are caught in a love triangle, battling for their husband's attention with the players of their favorite sports teams. Now, in a "Dateline" hidden camera challenge, the wives are fighting back by catching their unknowing husbands on videotape while they watch a game. Josh Mankiewicz travels from coast to coast to report in, "Honey, You're on Hidden Camera," airing on Sunday, March 18, 7 p.m.

For the hour-long report, "Dateline" isolated some of the most rabid football fans in the country and got their wives to go head to head against football for their husbands' attention. The wives allowed "Dateline" to set up hidden cameras and microphones in their homes and then worked with "Dateline" to devise ways to distract their husbands while they watched the games. Some of the most revealing moments captured on tape:

• A Green Bay Packers fan repeatedly yells at his wife to "Stop it" when she tries to talk to him during the game.
• A New York Giants fan won't let his wife get up from the couch. He's so superstitious that when his team is on a roll, he's afraid she could change their luck if she moves.
• A Dallas Cowboys fan refuses his wife's requests to take out the trash or help with dinner while the game is in play. When a commercial starts, he turns around to see whether she's still in the room. Realizing she's gone, he decides to skip the chores and leans back comfortably in his recliner chair.
• A Minnesota Vikings fan doesn't pay much attention to his wife, until she changes into her Vikings tank top, which he finds alluring. Within minutes he's turned his attention from the screen, telling her "Get naked and sit on me!"

When the taping was done, the husbands learn for the first time their antics were recorded. The husbands then agree to sit down with their wives and "Dateline's" Josh Mankiewicz to watch the hidden camera footage and explain their behavior during the game.

We hope you join us on Sunday, 7 p.m. for a new Dateline. Click here for an exclusive video preview.

Wives' only concern during a Cowboys' game is whether she'll be taken to the Olive Garden (if the Boys win) afterward or Taco Bell (if the Boys lose).

Hopefully not the Taco Bell with the Rat Problems.

Rat problem? It is not a rat problem that is inventory. You want that taco with or without a tail? :laugh2:

I guess I'm just lucky, my whole household shuts down when the Cowboys are on.

My wife, and both sons are Cowboy fans too.

Both sons come over and we all are glued to the TV for the entire game.

We jump up and down, pace around, yell at the TV, fingernails get chewed ! ... the Cowboys are on !

No trash gets emptied, no chores get done, ... the Cowboys are on !

Don't call us and don't stop by, ... the Cowboys are on !

The rest of my family are steeler fans and they know not to bother us, ... when the Cowboys are on !

Sound like a typical football sunday with my family. :laugh2:

I never understood the toilet seat thing. They need it down, we need it up. I don't hear men griping about it being left down. There is such an easy compromise. Always close the lid when done. Seriously who wants to look at toilet water? Both sexes then have to lift the lid. Men have to lift the lid and seat.

Such a strain.

This is from my own personal observations, so I hope that the forum's female readers will not attack me. There are several factors which men do not normally consider about the toilet situation (I know that I didn't):

1. Women have to sit down (sure, a few don't but let's not get sidetracked). When they do sit down, they do not wish to feel anything between their skin and the seat. Nothing. Nada. Usually, it is the female who regularly cleans the toilet, including the seat. Thus, they expect to find what they have already cleaned to remain that way--which brings us to point number two...

2. Women don't have to 'aim'. If they have to urinate, they squat, push, wipe, flush and they are done. Unless there is any other business to take care of before they stand up, the toilet, for all intended purposes, will be in very good shape (e.g. clean) afterwards. On the other hand, men do have to aim--and if our aim isn't 100% perfect, we're gonna clip the bowl. That's a big no-no, but they're able to forgive us for wetting the lip of the bowl (well, they really don't, but they'll let us live long enough to think that they have forgiven us). That's not the case if they find themselves sitting in our urine. Doesn't matter if it's a drop, puddle or river. Trust me. Their reaction after sitting in your pee may only last a nanosecond, but in that instant, they visualize your death in 1,000 ways--which brings us to the final point...

3. Women love every part of you. If they truly care for you, it won't matter to them if you look like freaking Favour Flav (seriously). And in their eyes, 99% of the time they unconditionally love that part of you which Bud Light feels necessary to exit out of after downing a six pack or two. Don't give them cause to love your used beer dispenser any less than the first time they met. Should the backs of their upper thighs feel sticky one time too many, they could channel the spirit of Lorene Bobbitt during that split second, uncap your dispenser and force you to sit on the toilet for the rest of your life.

I hope some of my insight helps.

Don't overthink it my friend, .. just put the seat down.

It's been years since I've given it much thought my friend. I learned my lesson decades ago.

My son that lives at home and my wife always look at the caller ID to see if they are going to answer the phone or not, but I just pick it up, I don't care.

Except when the Cowboys are on, then I look at the caller ID to see who I have to call back, because I'm not answering it. :laugh2: :laugh2:

Funny, Should be a good watch. I am lucky. My GF was a passive bears fan as she is from Chicago. But me, being a huge sports fan, have turned her into a rabid Cowboy, Spurs and Astro's fan. She hates the Commanders, Packers, 40whiners and Steelers, just cause I do. I asked her why she hated pittsburgh one day and she said 'I dont know, you dont like em so I dont'. But she does hate the packers from being a bears fan. When we first strated dating I had a fantasy baseball draft to attend early one sat morning and she got so pissed cause she came over and wanted to do something. I told her hang on 2 hours and we can do whatever. After about 30 minutes of *****ing, I told her sports and music are two parts of my life that I wont comprimize in. I told her how much the Cowboys, Spurs and Astros mean to me and fanatasy sports etc...Well now 9 years later, shes as big a Cowboy and Spurs fan as I am. Shes luke warm on Baseball in general and is happy when the astros do well, but really could care less if they win or not, except I get really excited when they make noise, so she likes that and pulls for them passively.

As for the bears v Cowboys. She says she does not know who she would pull for. Says she would probably pull for both and cheer any good play and hope they tied. lol - women. She was pleased with the bears this year and I found I sorta pull for them when the boys aren't in the picture. Sorta like a 2nd team.

One of my friends used to call me on Sundays about homework.

When the Cowboys were up against the Jags, he calls, and then they proceed to lose the game.

He didn't call for the Commanders game, we won.

He called when the Cowboys were up 14-10 on the Eagles, and when I hang up, I come back, and it's 17-14. Then, when the Cowboys are down 7 and Bledsoe throws it up and the Eagle defender gets called for PI, he calls again and says, "did you see that?!?!?!". I was like, "of course i did you fool"...next thing, Bledsoe throws the interception. Yeah, he kept his distance on Monday.

Against the Giants at the Meadowlands, he needed some paper from me, so he calls me when we're tied. That was when Romo threw the ball right to the Giant defender. I immediately hang up mid-sentence, and the ball flies through his hands and into Crayton's. Then, we score a TD. And he calls again, and I tell him it was my signal. So then he says he's going to come over. After I hang up, a few minutes later, Burress gets the TD, and Dallas is getting ready to try and score a FG. He drives up to my house and calls my phone. I don't answer it, open the door, and tell him to hold on a second. I make him wait outside for the 5 minutes it took to score the FG, plus the return that Jacobs had. I finally let him in after that. Now he knows not to call when the Cowboys are playing

Can someone please stream this after it airs? Apparently, Dateline isn't very big in Mexico :

I want to see how I compare since my ex-wife would always tell me I loved the Cowboys more than her...which was entirely untrue, I just has loved them longer

 

[big dog cowboy]

If you want a rude comment just call me during a Cowboys game.

I stopped answering the phone during games year ago. Anyone that stupid to call me when the game is on is someone I don't want to talk to anyway.
