What I've learned whilst dating a sports fan(atic):

When you try to talk over a commentator and your significant other says, "What?!" in a rather annoyed, exasperated tone, do not, I repeat DO NOT, try to spit back what you just said. He doesn't care if the bathroom is flooding. He doesn't care if the cat is on fire. He doesn't care and he's not talking to you. He's talking to the commentator whom you so rudely interrupted. So, for the love of all that is holy, stop talking! Do you even know how important this free throw is?!
