Volunteering is a great way to get out of the house. And it is easy to fake talking about sport. Just read one article a day from the sports section and use that as your conversation started when with a bunch of guys.

For example, your city’s baseball team just traded pitchers. Say something like “so, what do you all think about the Joe/Macoy trade the Braves just made?” Trust me, someone with have an option and folks just LOVE to share their opinion lol. The conversation will be off and running.
