“For Father's Day, I honestly just want quiet and the ability to watch [baseball] without interruption. I'm fortunate to spend time with my children playing sports, and I enjoy that. It's also great to have some me-time (and a Yankees win would be great!)."

“What I really want is a simple steak dinner and three hours to watch the Stanley Cup Finals in peace. I don't mind if my family watches with me, but not having to get up for three hours to answer to anybody would be a dream. I have two young children, so right now this is next to impossible.

“Maybe this is cheesy, but this year for Father's Day I want one of those miniature monogram steak brands. It just seems fun to be able to brand steaks with my initials when I'm grilling. I've been dropping pretty overt hints, so we'll see what happens!"
