Funniest Post ever!
Ok, whereas backrow gave you details, he's got the gist of the situation down pat.
I'm glad all the women I've had in my life like football...my wife would understand that we'd celebrate her birthday on Saturday, in order to watch the Skins on Sunday...
Basically, you need to get into a situation where you watch the game..NO MATTER WHAT. If you back down now, as said earlier, you will have to succumb to her wants every Sunday. She has to understand that Sundays from 1pm til whenever the last game it over is your time, not hers.
Taking her to FedEx is out of the question...if she's not much into football, then it won't fly, no matter how well fed she is and how much stuff you get her.
Tell her how much the game means to you, but that no matter what, you will get done whatever it is she wants to do, because she comes first.
Breakfast is a good idea...but it has to be early (and cheap, but i'll explain that later). If you both are church-going, suggest you guys go to the earliest mass available (usually between 8 and 9), so that you'll have the whole day together.
On Sundays, the malls and stores usually open between 11 and 12. This is crucial, to be at the stores as soon as they open. Make sure she doesn't want to go all over town either...that sucks when the plan is to hit stores across town from each other.
Make it a point to buy her something nice "just because"...a pair of earrings, that sweater she eyes in the window of Abercrombie & Fitch, a cute stuffed animal at the toy store.
Oh, and you better butter her up with an awesome birthday present that you give to her BEFORE you go shopping. That way, when you do buy her something nice, it'll mean even more.
Around game time, you head to the local Applebee's/Chili's/place that will certainly have the game on. A nice lunch, with a TV within eye/ear shot will keep you close to the action while you stay focused on her. It being game day, service will be slow, and you'll keep tabs on the first half of the game.
Make sure you get back to her house by 3:30...no matter what you miss of the game (which you certainly can miss pieces here and there, as long as to keep her happy), that you would like to see the end of the game with her. Watch the game with her, explaining what's going on...Most women who don't like football don't understand it.
Oh, and while you're in the car with her...make sure to have the game tuned in, so that she'll know you'd rather be watching, but are spending time with her instead...will make it much easier to see the rest of the season's games.
Above all else...if things seems to be rocky from the start, you best tuck tail and ditch the game. You can use it as one of the reasons why you dump her down the road...
