To their credit, the only time they left their Man Cave without complaining was at the request of the wives is to do something for the kids. Had that been me I may have had to go a round of rock, paper, scissors before checking on the rugrats!
But when it comes to the wives asking them to take out the garbage or perform other household chores while the game is on the line, well, there’s no denying how that will turn out. However, in the end, once the game is a lost cause the men seem to “see” their wives again.
The ladies (in Vikings jerseys) cozy up to them and use their version of a hail mary pass to finally get their men’s attention. The Brothers Borg are now ready for a new game plan.
Last but definitely not least is Jerry Vecchia, True Blue G-Man. Here’s a record that should be memorialized by Guinness, not in the record book, but at the local brewery.
Jerry Vecchia wears nothing but NY Giants team apparel every – single - day - of - the year!
That’s even more anal then Bob Hopalong’s Cowboys collection. How do you go through life wearing Giants apparel every day? I think the NY Giants should give him free season tickets; he’s more than paid his way by marketing the brand.
Mrs. True Blue patiently tries to carve out a spot in her man’s life. But he’s totally immersed in his G-Men. I felt a deep connection with him as he tried to watch the game on TV as his wife, kids and dog all got in the way; he craned his neck, changed positions but never lost sight of the screen.
But the best part of Jerry’s fanaticism and his most endearing quality is his strong belief in superstition. If the Giants are winning he will not let his wife move from the spot she’s in because that might jinx them. He tells her, “don’t move and don’t change positions.”
You gotta love these guys. They weren’t cruel or mean, they were simply trying to do what they love to do on Sunday. Watch football without being interrupted.
