What's scary for me is that when my wife and I started dating she HATED football and just about any sport. To her they were "just games kids play". About five years ago she got involved in a football pool at work and, with absolutely no knowledge of the game, won the first three weeks. She started caring about who won so she would watch the games with me to keep up on the scores.

Now, she knows pretty much all the "name players" from various teams and knows most of the Skins 1st and 2nd stringers. On top of that, every now and then, she'll make a comment about a player, team or formation to which I have to reply "I didn't know that". Most importantly, she lets me feed my 'Skins addiction (she okay'd season tickets, money for which, trust me, could have been spent on about a several other things including refurbishing her kitchen).

All of this b/c she lucked into $60 bucks - I must have had some good karma stored somewhere.
