Maybe if you would stop yelling and hollerin' during the games she wouldnt be afraid to come into the room.
Buy her one of those cute pink Romo jerseys.

She actually laughs at me when I'm hollerin..... it's the dog that runs out of the room.

Don't promote watching any sports with your spouse because if they do end up liking it, you will never be able too watch in peace again

It depends on the spouse or co-watcher. I love watching football with my oldest grandson. We have a ball.
Then again, my sister who is as big a Cowboy fan as I am, I dont like watching it with her. She talks too much during the game.

Place her paycheck down on the home team to win. If you live in Oakland this might be a bad idea.

Usually a girl will like a sports team that her boyfriend likes.

At least they will pretend to cheer, but thats all that matters, right?

Re: How to get you wife/girlfriend to like football?

My wife has started to get more interested in football since that's the business we are in. She'll watch tOSU games and the Steelers. She also went with me to to the Miami(Ohio) games when Ben played there. Since we live close to Cincinnati and all they have is a semi-pro team they call the Bengals we don't go to many NFL games.
