I'd touch on his age or empty-nesterness in the first paragraph. "Sports Fan" feels 20-something. How can you put some gray hairs on him in the first paragraph? You know, plant a gun that you can fire in the last few sentences. One way would be to have them be employees instead of coworkers. That reads older. You could have his secretary seated outside his door smile to herself at of the noises from the old man's office.
