Why vent anger at a guy? Just get him back really good by hiding the remote. Or possibly blocking all ESPN channels on the tv. Then say "Well, I don't know what happened" and leave him to his misery.

Or you could do the ultimate evil to him and drink his last beer on a Sunday.
I watch cutlery corner network, the military channel, the history channel, the discovery channel, the science channel, trutv, amc, and the travel channel. The only thing that would bother me is hiding the remote.
Several years ago when there were more kids living here than there are now, our remote got lost a lot. It would end up down in the couch or a chair or under something. It drove my husband absolutely crazy and even though he was 8 feet away from the tv, instead of just getting up to change the channel, he would literally look for it for 30 minutes at times, before he found it, therefore missing part of his show. He would constantly yell at the kids about putting it back on the coffee table and has even rounded them all up in the den and said "nobody is leaving until we find it so start looking!" Well, he was at Wal Mart one day looking for another one to keep as a spare when he found the perfect remote. It was HUGE. I think it might have been made for old people or something because it was truly one foot long and about 8 or 9 inches wide. It would not fit down in the couch or chair or anything like that, so he bought it.
It was lost within the week.
He did the same thing with lighters too. He's very picky about letting people use his lighter because people sometimes forget to bring it back. He's known around here as the lighter Nazi. Really. He will let somebody borrow it and then wait about five minutes and if it's not brought back he will yell for them to bring it back and he doesn't let them use it again for days. Well, he bought one of those huge Bics too. The kind that wont fit in any pocket I've ever seen and probably most purses either.
I don't know where that thing is now.
