You know you’re in trouble when

Women do not care about sports. Not the way we men do, anyway. I’ve yet to meet a female of the species who can recite from on top of her head the highest points scored by one Michael Jordan in a play-off game. That’s  63,  versus Boston, a game he sent into overtime via two crucial freethrows, and a game they lost.


You know your girlfriend is a real sweetheart when you do not even have to explain why you are “occupied” when it is Game 7 of a play-off series -- halfway across the globe. She will even root for your team. And cry with you when your team loses. It’s almost as good as her using your birthday as password to her email. 


When she starts rooting for the other team? I’d give your relationship another 3 months – tops.
