SEX IT UP & WATCH MORE SPORTS
Alright boys I went and did the dirty work that most men don’t have the time or kahunas to do. I asked mothers, grandmothers, ex-girlfriends, and wives how men can do more time in front of the TV watching sports without finding themselves in the dog house. You’ll be glad to know that men are not entirely to blame and some of the responsibility lies on the networks.
I got some classic responses. Everything from more skin to more fights. I assume she was referring to the players and not the husbands as far as the nakedness goes, except for one girl who said as long he watches shirtless, sports it is. Autumn is any sports fans time of year to sink into the couch with a cold one and snack away. The days are getting shorter and the air outside is getting colder so why not enjoy watching professional athletes beat themselves silly for a few hours. The answer of course is because if we watched all the sports our hearts desired we would be stuck in the dog house for so long that by the time we got out the next game would be starting. Ouch ! The bottom line is that according to sports fans we don’t watch enough games and the other halves think we watch too much.
Here are some ideas that may help you get that extra hour or 6 of what we call, quality time. The biggest day of the week of course is Sunday and we can watch up to 3 games of football. I know heaven on earth except for the glares from the peanut gallery. So with all the commercial time that you really don’t need to see this is the night we prepare dinner. This can really work in our favor if you choose the dish properly. Start off in the morning while watching the pre-game show with a cutting board and whatever you need to prep. If done properly you can drag that out for at least a half. Chili is the perfect Sunday football dish because it is something that you need to keep an eye on all day long. I remember my dad saying to my mom “you’ll have to go honey my chili needs to be stirred and spiced every 15 minutes.” Something like that can take hours to make. You can check to see what spice needs to be added every now and then, or every quarter. One female even suggested the network walk you through the process for a specific recipe each week.
Doing household chores while watching the game is pretty tough except for the laundry. Laundry can be done all day while watching sports. It only takes a minute to transfer from the machine to the dryer and you can fold in front of the television all day long. This works great if you have kids and lots of clothes to wash. With the time each cycle takes that is at least 2 games.
Getting your other half involved in the sport is always a sure fire way to get to watch your game(s). Go outside and shoot some hoops or throw the football around. This can kill 2 birds with one stone. First you get your quality time together and 2nd you can enjoy fresh air and exercise. Most woman will feel as though they are a part of your day and that you are involving them in the activities you enjoy. You may find that some woman will pull up a seat beside you and watch the game. Be careful on this one because they may start asking questions about the players and or the game. Take the time to answer everyone of them honestly and you will be amazed at the reaction you get. If you blow them off she might cancel the cable. Chances are they will watch for a while but eventually lose interest and find something else to do. If she gets hooked and enjoys the sport all the better.
An easy one that most of you already know but we will remind you anyway is get your jobs done before hand. If you want to watch sports do not neglect your responsibilities what ever they may be.
As far as the networks go my research shows that women want to see more adds geared towards them and they want to see what these athletes look like. Show more pictures without their helmets on and a quick biography. One woman suggests they show the men in a speedo and I didn’t have the heart to tell her that they don’t make banana hammocks for 350 pound line men. (thank god)
If none of the above work, there is only one left to do. SEX IT UP. You got it…. be a rock star in the bedroom and earn your time. For most people this is a bonus to watching sports but for some it may be a last line of defense. The most honest time in peoples lives is the few minutes after sex. There will never be a better time than this to tell the other half of your plans for watching the big game. Don’t be too aggressive but be assertive enough so that when the game starts she knows where you will be no questions asked.
There you have it. If none of these work and you still watch all the sports you want I would love to hear from you. Also if you have anything to add or any other proven methods please don’t be shy to share them with us.
