No, thank goodness. He gets into whatever game or NASCAR race he watches (yelling at the tv) but once it's over, it's over. I have a very laid back husband.
I usually don't get too worked up either way... I try to keep some emotional distance!
My FI is just happy if he gets to watch sports (instead of working weekends or long hours). Especially the Giants or Yankees (as is the case these days) in the fall...
My FI is usually pretty good when his teams lose (although he was really bummed the Red Sox got swept by the Angels). It's me that gets in a super pissy mood when my teams lose. Not so much the Vikes or the Wolves, but the Twins, oh man. You do not want to be with me when the Twins lose!
OMG YES!!!! He gets so upset during games at bad calls, when they lose, etc. I always says I hope whatever team of his is playing wins so I can go home to a happy husband! Baseball playoffs were the worst (Angels fan, both of us but he is extreme) so all the bad calls in the NY/Angels games did not go unnoticed. The worst part is, I rarely get a break from it. He watches Ducks & Penguins, Angels, Villanova (College Basketball), Lakers & Steelers. At least with the pro-football and basketball he isnt as bad but he can get really upset during hockey, baseball & college basketball games when his team is playing.
My bf is a HUGE Seminoles fan and if they lose, I have to be sure to leave him alone for a few hours and expect not to watch anymore football for the day. But I'm the same way if the Patriots lose, so I understand. :)
Yes....its so annoying. My boyfriend coaches high school football and basketball so if he loses one of those games he takes it really hard. Also if his packers lose, oh boy.
Mr. Peng is definitely laid back, but sports are some kind of drug!!! IT'S A SICKNESS!
FI is all about sports every day of the week! It doesn't affect him if his fav teams lose but he does get grumpy when I try to change a game!
yes!!! the outcome of a game 100% does! Lately the ILLINI & Bears have been keeping his mood fairly pissy. Good thing it lasts for about 30 minutes after the game is over, then all is well and he moves on like a little champ. :)
Yeah, he gets a little huffy, but mostly it ends once the game is over. He might make a comment here and there. I definitely shouldn't bother him DURING the game though lol Luckily he doesn't usually watch on tv and just follows the recaps of games online, except with the Yankees making the playoffs. Video games make him cranky too though if he keeps losing... (but he's ok once he stops)
No, thank goodness, but I dated a guy in Boston that wouldn't talk to me for 2 days if the Sox lost. Wtf?!
Speaking of, he missed my friends rehearsal dinner to watch the Angels game (thankfully they won, we discussed it long before the rehearsal) and the game was supposed to be on during the wedding! Thank god it was postponed or he wouldve been looking at his phone the entire night!!! And the Red Sox/Angels series was during his sisters wedding weekend. Thankfully it wasnt on during the day of the wedding but there were games on the night before and the day after (and her DH is a huge Red Sox fan but they got along haha)
OMG Yes! He's in a huff the rest of the day/evening. I'm thankful that they haven't lost during any of our trips to see them b/c it would ruin the entire weekend!
Now that I think about it, I think FI gets more upset when we're at the game. He's usually fine if his watching the game on the tv but heaven help us all if we're seating in the stands.
LOL it's sad but being from Toronto, losing teams are all too common and we've all just learned to deal with it.
Haha...I'm laughing right now because we're watching the WORLD SERIES and Fi has a dirty mouth when his team isn't playing well! So the YANKEES better WINl!!
Yes... He is a college football coach, so if his team loses, he is typically in a bad mood, but it extends to his dad's games (a coach too) and his brother's games (a college player). Football = life around here!
He does not get upset about any other teams loosing or winning, but kids around about how happy he is when Ohio State and the Yankees lose....
Mine doesn't, but my best friend's does! Once they got in a big fight because Penn State lost and he ripped his jersey in half and threw it over a bridge in a rage. She thought he was being incredibly childish, and he thought she just couldn't understand how he feels about Penn State.
Uhm.. they don't dictate SO's mood, but they definitely have an impact on mine! I am a huge Georgia Bulldawgs fan and the way this season has been going means that there have been a few Saturday nights where I have been slightly snippy due to the outcome of the game. It's especially bad if SO's team wins, because he totally doesn't care, but .. yeah. I'm definitely the sports fanatic of the two, but only when it comes to college football.
HA, they definitely impact mine more than his! My fiance could care less... he mildly cares about the Phillies (LOVE THEM) but that's about it!
Thank goodness my hubby doesn't take it too seriously! While he loves to watch sports, he doesn't really get worked up so it's great.
well...i'm the sports fanatic and yeah, outcomes do affect my mood, though not as bad as it use to! i've gotten a lot better in the past few years so now i can sulk for half and hour and i'm fine. lol. just let me get my 30 minutes before any teasing commences! well, unless the team is already playing well below average. haha.
Most acquaintances who know my FI ask if I have ever seen Fever Pitch the movie. I always respond with "Have I seen it. That's my life".
My FI is a huge Red Sox fanatic. The baseball package is a must in our house, and his moods directly reflect the outcome of the Red Sox games. He is the most friendly laid back happy guy until game time. It is like he morphs into a different person. I do realize it is not very healthy, so I am working on it one baby step at a time.
@ fiftyfootbride I feel your pain. I swear it is something in the water.
I hate to say it, I might be alone, but sports often dictate BOTH of our moods. We're both big sports fans and if our teams lose, it's not a great day for us.
I hate to say it, but there's probably not much you can do about it. I know if anyone tries to talk me out of my bad mood after a Michigan loss, it just makes me mad. ;)
Oh my, yes! But it doesn't take too much to get him back in a good mood! Thank goodness the Phillies won last night!
Depends on whether he has a bet on it! But they def. have an impact on me. I love the Cowboys, but am SO over Tony Romo. He always manages to screw things up. Every game, I ask out loud "Can we pleeeease bring Troy Aikman back??" (not sure who I'm asking haha) FI laughs at me every time.
Oh yes, it affects my husband's mood. He's a Redskins fan, so if you follow football, you'll understand his pain. Our favorite player broke his ankle on Monday, so suffice to say he is not a happy camper these days!
OMG - I saw the title of this post and I was relieved to see that other men do this too it drives me crazy!
Ok so we're canadian so we love hockey and we are both leafs fans (I know I know)! So they suck and have sucked for the past - oh i don't know - FOREVER!!!!! And he gets upset when they don't play well (or as he says there is bad refereeing)! So this season they lost their first like 10 games - 10 GAMES - It's been a wonderful season as you could imagine.
I just don't understand how watching hockey is fun if he just keeps getting mad at the TV and then is in a pissy mood for the rest of the night!
I'm WAY more of a sore loser over my teams than he is.
I got into a serious argument with a friend that is an Alabama fan after the Tennessee/Alabama game last weekend - because I get utterly nasty when we lose (Especially after THAT game).
His team got blown out the same weekend, and he handled it like a champ while I stomped around like Grumpy Bear.
Honestly, it's me that gets in a huff over my sports teams much worse than FI! He's a Phillies/Eagles fan and I'm an Orioles/Ravens fan. I've gotten over the Orioles' losses affecting me (when your team loses nearly 100 games, you adjust) but I take football very very seriously. My FI knows if my beloved Ravens lose, he better have something fun (like a trip to Target) planned to cheer me up and prevent me from sulking the rest of the day.
His moods aren't effected, but mine sure are. He knows not to call if my team lost or played a bad game. lol
Phew, is he EVER in a bad mood if his teams aren't at the top of their game! If it was a fair fight, usually he's pretty good about getting over it. My guy is a major basketball and baseball fan, but football gets him angry too (especially college, he has two teams, and then his Patriots--god I hate the Patriots, sorry pats fans)!
It's like 15% of the year he's content all the time... lol. Oh well, I'm just glad he has something to get excited about! And I don't mind watching/going to Celts games or watching our college football, but other than that I am BORED!
The worst part is, my sister (who's my roommate) lives by ESPN. I mean, she is more of a boy than he is. She knows everything about football that there is to know. Too bad i'm not more into sports!!!
I like some sports, but I do not LOVE every sport like my FI! We live in an apartment so when we get games on cable, I cringe cause he is always yelling at the tv!
But we go to Buffalo Wild Wings a lot to watch the games: soccer, football, baseball, college football, hockey... and since we have been together he has gotten better with talking to the tv, players, coaches, refs, and other opposing fans!
With the Redskins not doing well this year...again, things are not good. K-State is not doing well either. The White Sox, well at least they won in 05, those darn Penguins won last year, come on Capitals!
Me on the other hand, I like baseball, and football. Only my teams, I don't understand why he wants to watch every game on tv! It is endless!
And yes, if his team loses, you can tell. One time someone asked him if someone just died, and he said, no, my team lost.
But I love him.
I'm with Mrs. DG on this one. My hubs won't watch any sports of any kind, much less be emotional about them. No sports mood swings in our house!
My FI is a huge sports nut, and - even worse - a Mets fan. So you can imagine that it is UGLY in our house right now. He hates the Phillies with a passion (and the Yankees too, though he's chosen them as the lesser of two evils). He's punched holes through closet doors. Funny thing is that he is totally laid back and rational about everything else.
I'm more laid back about sports myself, but I love football and did cry in public when UTexas lost to Tech last year. On.My.Birthday. :(
Oh totally! Glad to see I'm not the only one here. He is super emotional about the Wolverines, so much so that it really does ruin his entire week if they lose. Unfortunately they are playing terribly this year so it's been a struggle. I'm so glad Halloween is going to distract him this weekend!
I realize that this is a really old thread - but I'm bringing it back because it's completely relevant to how I am feeling right now as a Bulls fan. All I can say is that, if Chicago ends up losing this series to the damn Sixers, I am seriously going to cry. (And will probably throw something at my tv.) This was supposed to be our year - and being beaten out by eighth seed team would just be really depressing.
Edit: Oh, and my fiance doesn't even really care about sports ...

I dread huge sports nights with Mr. Peng's fave teams (UCLA, the Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves) because it means that if they lose, Mr. Peng will be in a huff, especially if the ref'ing/ump'ing isn't up to his standards that night. (At least with UCLA I can share in the joy/pain!)
What about in your household? Do sports dictate your SO's mood? What can we do to stop this madness?
