With football season kicking off, you might need a few tips on how to get your girl into football:

5) Be the wing man. Sometimes you have to take a hit and encourage a harmless crush. Leave your Sports Illustrated open on the coffee table to a page where Tom Brady has his shirt off. Sit back and watch. (Please note, if you live in the south, proceed as directed but use one of the Manning brothers instead.)

4) Make trade-offs. If you get game night, then so does she. But be prepared to spend every other Monday surrounded by annoying neighbors, Pictionary drawing boards, and bad taco dip.

3) Jersey trash. No, not the Sopranos… the clothing style. Pick her up a home team jersey and tell her you think she looks cute in it. Never under estimate the power of clothes.

2) Threaten. Tell her it’s either this, or you watch Entourage on HBO. Then casually share a story about how your buddy watched Entourage, and was then inspired to cheat on his girlfriend with 3 Korean hookers.

1) Reverse psychology. Demand she leaves the room whenever football is on. When she asks why, tell her it’s because you don’t think she should be exposed to the rough housing, violence, and cheerleaders. If she isn’t next to you on the couch with a plate of wings within 10 minutes, revert to number 2 and start talking about how hot you think Margaret Cho is.
