Miko Grimes, the wife of Miami Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes, took to Twitter with six rules she says every football wife should follow during the NFL regular season.
Here is a rundown of her tweets, in our own words:
Rule 1: Football season is not the time to be difficult. Be supportive and keep the home running smoothly.
Rule 2: Stay out of locker room gossip. If people bring you stories about your husband’s teammates, she says, you do not have time for it.
Rule 3: If he is on the field putting his body on the line, show up and cheer for him loudly and proudly.
Rule 4: Go to some road games. She says being present is good for a marriage.
Rule 5: You are the ticket manager of the household. When game week arrives and relatives start asking for tickets, handle it.
Made to order and shipped to your door.
Rule 6: Keep family issues private. Do not let the team’s coaches, front office or other players see you sweat.
Miko wrapped up her thread by joking that she could not share more because people would have to buy the book, and said she hoped her tweets reached a football wife in time to help save a marriage or a career.
Her advice was shared on her Twitter account, @iheartmiko. What do you think of the rules?
