First half will be watching my son bounce all over the room re enacting every play as if I didn't really see it myself. It really livens up the game and the room. So I'll have some chips and dip on a side table to keep them out of the ever dangerous son zone. No alcohol just diet coke or water.
Halftime will be an argument with my wife about his bedtime and it's a school night blah blah blah bs.... After which I'll microwave up some Toquitos and refill the chips and move them to the coffee table. Grab a glass of red wine or possibly a jim beam and coke depending how ridiculous the argument got. "You're stunting his growth".... WTF?
Second half will be my son trying with all his soul to subdue his enthusiasm so that he doesn't alert mrs Mommy Dearest that he is still downstairs watching the game. Chips and other snacks are gone. Basically sipping on a glass of water or wine at that point. Listening to my son whisper, "Dad, did you see that?" hahaha I love it.

Great post! I still remember the only time my mother ever swore at her two sons (she always screamed/swore at my father but never us.). Game 1 of the 1995 ALDS, Red Sox vs Indians. First a 40 minute rain delay and then 11th inning walk off home run by (an Indian after being a long time Red Sox favorite) Tony Pena. At around midnight, my mother stormed out of her bedroom and shouted "Go bed, f-ckers!" at the top of her lungs. In fact, I've never heard her use the f-word again either.
Your son will be forever grateful. Especially since he will tell his kids about getting to stay up late to "watch" Tom Brady. (In the future, I guess you will experience sports in 8 dimensions.)
