This is what the conversation sounds like to me: 

Guy #1:  "Hey, did you see those sports last night?"
Guy #2:  "Oh man, you betcha.  Did you see that sports play that the sports guy made in the final quarter?"
Guy #1:  "Yah, that sports was insane.  I think they have the best team in sports right now.  They're definitely doing to win the sports championship this year".
Guy #2:  "Absolutely.  I love sports.  It's so sportsy.  SPOORTS!".
Guy #1:  "Sports!".

I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

I'm guessing this isn't so much stereotypical "guy" interests as it is stereotypical city guy vs rural guy - at least in regards to alcohol/guns/tools/hunting/cars. I find people with less to do (rural) are more interested in these things than their city-dwelling counterparts.

Rural is less to do? Not less, just different. And maybe that was your point and I'm being a nit-picker.

I shoot, and occasionally hunt, but have not actually shot an animal in years. The deer just hide out once the gunfire starts!

I like to fish.

I use a chain saw and chopping firewood is kind of a summer hobby that my wife thinks is weird, but she enjoys the winter fires.

I drink a beer maybe 3-4 times a year. Used to drink heavily, then just stopped.

Would watch football, but don't have a TV, so have not seen a game in years. Still go see the occasional high school game.

I consider myself pretty masculine, but work as a nurse!
