Knowing he is single, I asked why he needed three receivers. His response:

"How else am I supposed to watch three games at the same time? I have been getting by with side-by-side 32 inch TVs, so now I will have the 50 inch with the smaller ones on each side."

😕

I have a 48" HDTV that I have to share with a wife and kids. He was "getting by" having two TVs all to himself.

Must be a baseball fan.

He's an everything fan. He subscribes to the MLB pack, the NFL Sunday Ticket, the NBA pack, the College Football pack, the College Basketball pack. The only thing I think he doesn't subscribe to is hockey.


That explains why he doesn't have a girl.

Because he doesn't subscribe to the hockey package?
