God Bless my wife. She couldn't have cared less about football before we got together, but with me playing, coaching our son, and eventually coaching HS, she's been "all in". She was team Mom a couple years for my son's team and has been on the sideline helping in mid-30 degree driving rain.

She knows and understands most of the game and can hold a knowledgable conversation on it. She likes Brees (he's really accurate and does a good job) and Clay Matthews (he Fs people up), she's a Raiders fan but she knows "they won't be good with Al Davis or his son running it". During the season, football's on every night but Tues/Wed. Like I said in the other thread, suffering through Bachelor or DWTS is a worthwhile trade-off.
