Dear La Commish,
....in which la commish (who knows more about playing games than most NFL-ers) digs deep into her pigskin-lined heart and advises the lovelorn....

I recently went on a blind date and he did not know about football - is this a warning sign?

sighing in yiddish,

jdater hater

Dear jdater hater:

a warning sign is when you see clouds and consider donning a rainjacket for the football game that afternoon. or when you notice that your bottle of wine is almost empty and it's only the first quarter, so you put another one to chill in the fridge.

a man who doesn't know about football is something else altogether. that's not a sign - that's a walking example of a man with no *.

there are two things which straight men, no matter how metrosexual, cultured, or respectful they may seem, have an opinion about:

1) football
2) girl-on-girl action

any man who says he's not interested in these 2 things is either lying or he's lying about being straight.

run, don't walk! away from this pansy and find yourself instead a nice boy who will buy you flowers and leave you husky phantasy football updates on your voicemail. now that's romance....
