Holidays + sports = happy husband

As men get older, they care less about Christmas gifts (I'm getting there, I promise ...).
We love to give Barbie dolls and video game systems and perfume and all that stuff.
All we want is sports. Give us our sports!!!
You know you've had the discussion ... you want to watch the parades on TV. We want to watch both bowl games (and the pre-game shows), the NFL game, the NBA game, billards, rodeo, poker and, to wrap it all up, the Hot Dog Eating Championships. And as we fall asleep from time to time as these events are on the TV, please don't turn them. Yes, we are, in fact, listening to them in our sleep.
Is that too much to ask? We don't see it as dominating the TV. We see it as personal enrichment.
So when the husband grabs the remote, just smile and nod. Smile and nod. :)
