He enjoys football, and can sit in a stadium ALL DAY and watch high school play-offs (he's done it), and can even watch a lot on tv. But there's something about not having anything invested in the game and being in a comfy chair that can put him right to sleep. It might be the fact that he usually only gets to watch football on television when he's through with his football season and can now rest well for the first time since mid July. (he coaches high school football here in Texas)
But I learned long ago, he might be asleep but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what's on. If I try to change the channel he wakes right up. Works with golf, too.
