Just buy her something real nice from your winnings, or better yet, just give her a gangster roll of $$$ to go to the mall and blow it.
Women will blow you SO much less shit about sports and gambling if you give them a taste of the action...........
There is too much football on the air now. It's time to cut back with all these college games as well as the NFL being played on any night besides Sun-Mon and some Saturdays after college ends.
You know how many poor bastards are going broke because of these college games? Isn't it ironi that most of them are MAC games!

Its a done deal, wont interfere with college football to much since most teams are done the week before thanksgiving.
This will get the NFL network a great chance to get the subscriber rate up and added to many basic cable packages.
=================================
NEW YORK -- The NFL Network will broadcast eight prime-time games on Thursdays and Saturdays beginning next season.
The eight-game package, announced by commissioner Paul Tagliabue on Saturday, will begin with a game on Thanksgiving night. All of the games also will be shown on local stations in the teams' home markets.
The package was created by taking Saturday and Sunday games that originally would have been shown by the league's broadcast partners or on their regional telecasts.
The league runs the 2-year-old NFL Network, which is in about 40 million homes. The addition of games to its lineup almost assuredly will increase that number.
The league also has lucrative deals with CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN and DirecTV.
"After discussing this new package of games with many potential partners, we decided it would be best presented on our own, high-quality NFL Network, which has developed so rapidly that the time had come to add live regular-season games to the programming," Tagliabue said. "In the end, we wanted these games on our network, which is devoted 24/7 to the sport of football, and not on a multi-sport network."
ESPN is paying $1.1 billion annually over eight years to broadcast the Monday night games. NBC has a six-year, $3.6 billion deal for the Sunday night package. CBS and Fox are paying a total of $8 billion over six years for the rights to Sunday afternoon games. DirecTV agreed to pay $3.5 billion for a five-year extension that runs through 2010.

First thought i
I DON'T like this
as has been pointed out - very few get the NFL Netwrok to begin with. wanted to get it before this - but now watch the cable companies get heat from the customers to pick this up - but then passing the costs on to all
i don't like this for it is only a matter of time before the NFL tinkers with the idea of Playoff games on PPV - something our corrupt and inept congresspeople will (hopefully) fight to stop from happening
wonder if this will increase the NFL TV money and thus raise the salary cap?
