Sports watch party tradition is starting again
Every Sunday my buddies come over and we watch the games. Wife takes the kids to her parents place so I actually get the living room and can yell at the TV without anyone complaining. Been doing this for like 8 years. It's the one thing I look forward to every week. We eat junk food, talk trash, and for a few hours I feel like I'm still a real person with friends who want to hang out.
Your wife is a saint. Getting the kids out of the house so you can have that time with your buddies is perfect. My wife does something similar on Sundays and it's honestly kept me sane. You married up.
