I was all set for a spectacular long weekend with Chiefs hosting Ravens opening night then the following day we would drive down the coast to San Simeon and tour Hearst Castle with a couple nights beachside relaxation for the weekend.

Well, now she's suggesting we add a night and leave a day early -- Thursday, staying in romantic Carmel by the Sea that night.

Trouble is, that's our opening night game.

She knows I am a serious Chiefs fan and rarely miss a game. Especially the opener.

Oh CP geniuses of life choice advice, what should I do?

West coast, so traveling during the game??

Make her drive. Have a drink when you get to Carmel. Eat. Drink more
Have fun in the room when the Chiefs win

F that. Take a cooler and get blasted while she drives.

Well, there's an obvious answer here of staying a day later rather than leaving a day earlier.

Regardless, communication is the key to a good marriage. I think you can mention that it's opening night aganst the Ravens, and she should know what the right answer is.

It's a regular season game.

We're not some poverty franchise like the Vikings or Chargers. The real season doesn't start until after Christmas.

Yeah, but it's also regular season romance. I'm sure his wife ramps things up in the postseason.

Not saying what’s right or wrong for anyone else but my wife knows I don’t miss Chiefs games. I also don’t do travel on Sundays during the NFL season if I can’t be around TV during games. She is good with this for the most part due to being a fan herself but she still tries to get me into other shit once in awhile. I always remind her that she basically gets 30 Sundays a year for me to do whatever she wants. Always seems to work.

Let me guess: she's about 4'2", has a flat head to set your beer on, and doesn't have any teeth.

There’s no guarantee you’re getting the Quadfecta again. In fact, it seems unlikely even if you make the sacrifice.

Similarly, it’s possible you’ll never be able to watch a home opener again at Arrowhead where they drop the championship banner.

Prioritize the game and the experience. This is the golden age and to skimp on what the opener represents just seems such an injustice to the suffering you experienced as a fan of this organization pre-Mahomes.

That seems like a waste of water. If your wife is an environmentalist, you shouldn't tell her about this.

Man that’s a rare opportunity.

A quiet house, only yourself to decide what to do?

Sex is 3 minutes. Game is 3 hours.

Antifreeze is the only solution.

Oh, that gives me another idea.

Tie her to the bed, blindfold her and put in ear plugs, and then you can go over on commercial breaks while she goes wild with anticipation during your three-hour marathon teasing session.

I don't say this lightly because you always have to be sensitive to the plight of your significant other, BUT if you told her you want to watch the season opener then goddamnit get your custom beer hardhat on and have fun watching the ****ing game.
