Simple solution is to tell the kids the game is a movie. It has worked for me so far, but then again, I only have a toddler who likes the visuals on the tv screen.

Also, if the kids enjoy it, you can tell them there will be about 30 sequels coming up in the next few months. You'll have them hooked!!

At our family Thanksgiving last year, the opposite happened.

Our son and his cousin were playing Madden on the big screen and they were Bears vs Cowboys because those are their favorite teams. However 93 year old grandpa is also a Bears fan. My son threw a hail mary as time expired, caught by CD Lamb for the win. Grandpa yells out "F****ng B***sh***!!!!" at the television. His poor eyesight, he thought he was watching a real game the entire time. 🤣

Had to share.

And you would see one Big 10 game a week on ABC (I believe). I lived in the Evansville, Indiana viewing area. As a result, I watched Joe Dean and SEC network game of the week on NBC. I saw a lot of Pete Maravich. In addition, Evansville Colloege was D2 power at the time. A majority of their road games were televised live, and the home games were telecasted on tape delay at 10:30 pm.

There is a process to go through the first time you sign on so give yourself so lead time. Not difficult except for us old guys who are not real savvy about that stuff.

They're 7 and 5, so they have too much awareness for that but not enough to be really into sports yet. So I assert my authority to commandeer the TV for sports periodically (e.g., the Michigan game) but probably won't try too hard for a game against SIUE.

Yep and Mutal of Omaha's wild kingdom with marlin perking...followed by the wonderful world of Disney. A throwback to yesteryear and far more innocent times!!!. When basketball players were called cagers and the football field was the gridiron

And there was the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

Indeed with Jim McKay and that iconic voice intro. And Monday night football with the original crew Howard (tupay) Cosell, Frank Gifford and Dandy "Don" Meredith
