I don't watch football very often, but when I can, it always gets my attention. I don't know very much about it, but I thought I might be fun to have a PHX group do a game day at one of the sports bars in town.

I'm curious to see whether anyone else wants to do the same.

sounds good im in Tucson but would love to come up there and catch some of the games soon. keep me posted

Update for anyone who's interested: there's four of us at the moment who will likely get-together next Sunday at Roscoe's. Please email me at smrobbins65@yahoo.com if you are interested in joining us. It's informal and such, so come if you like.

Hey Guys, I'll be there next Sunday however I work till 3 so I won't be able to make it until 4 or so. Hope you all will still be there and enjoy a few beers with ya! I will be wearing a Cleveland Browns polo shirt...so look for me. See ya then and Take Care...Vince

I do want to make sure that the four of us can hang comfortably, so I hope to hear from the other fellas about the timing. We CAN schedule it so nobody feels left out; i.e. another day, time, whatever.

You need PhillyFan to give you the X's and O's of the game. The dude knows his football (when you get past his blind-hatred of the Cowboys).

Sean, Please don't try and arrange things around me. I do not have your typical M/F job and work kinda crazy hours. I usually close on Sundays, but this next one I am working early and can make it about 4. Just intime to see the tail end of the late games and catch Sportscenter and get all the highlights from the games played already. See ya all there...Vince

I'll try to make it but some friends are having a going away party for me on sat night so not sure ill be in any shape to drive up to phx. ill try my best sounds like a great time

Hey toots,

Why dont you just take up a DC molson collection and send me some cash? That would we much easier for me.

Sean...are we still on for Sunday???? Let me know through this email and I will be there no later than 4!!! As i said before...wearing a BROWNS polo so you know who I am! Hope to see you and others there.....Vince

So yeah, we are still on for tomorrow. I will be at Roscoe's on 7th at about 2pm, Sunday. I will be wearing an orange and blue striped rugby, and jeans. I wear glasses and have a black and grey goatee. I may have a good friend with me [haven't asked him yet], so look for a taller version of me as well, with bleach-blonde hair. (He's one of the funniest guys I know.)

2pm! Roscoe's on 7th! Very informal! Excited to meet you! Meatman, azairforceguy, asutad, and soccer guy (handle :confused: ), and anyone else -- see you there.

(PhillyFan, you're welcome to come too. Haven't heard one way or another. )

Just an update:
The plan for the Sunday get-together was a little disappointing simply because of circumstance. There was interest, and yet because of late-minute changes, two guys weren't able to make it -- which I completely understand.

I was made aware of these complications by the guys themselves, and bear them no grudge. In fact, I did percieve the impression that there is interest in another get-together of a similar nature. I'm all for it.

On the other hand, I did get to chat for about an hour with Meatman as the football games wound down, and the WS started up. Nice guy, for those of you who have not yet met him. He filled me in on what his life has been like in the past few years, and I was glad he did. KUDOs to Meatman. It's interesting putting a face and personality to a name. So there you go. A good first start, and a recommendation to any of you fellas in your own areas. It's a good way to make the cyber less sterile.

glad you had a good time, I really wanted to make it but some friends had a going away party sat night and i was in no shape to drive to phx the next day. im leaving this sunday, i think its great you took the time and effort to start this. good luck

Oh sorry there fella's... but well sundays are bad for me. I usually will hit the bar when the eagles are not on tv... but well i'm not quite the social butterfly (during the games), and would probably tell everyone to go @#$#%^$%^@#$! themselves if the eagles are doing badly.

Hope that makes sense to all...

Also 2pm is sorta a funky time to meet for football... the afternoon games are already like an hour into it...

but hey what do i know, it took everything i had not to throw a bottle at the tv last sunday... but i think you get kicked out for that stuff...

[/quote]Don't forget though, because of laws in Arizona, bars don't open on Sundays until 1pm anyway. Also on Saturday nights, last call is at midnight -- or 1am? -- I can't remember.

Might want to check up on the laws in Arizona, smrobbins65. Roscoe's is always open and serving by kickoff of the first game. And don't forget the $2 Bloody Mary Bar, $2 Jumbo Mimosas, and my personal favorite $7 Pitchers of Long Island Ice Tea.

And a word of warning, please stay out of my way on the roadways after my second pitcher! eek!

They have always been open, even at 10am games... which is where i was on that fateful sunday...

Actually, i barely converse with my friends during the iggle games... so i'd not be a hoot to be around, some would even call me an ass on those days... not many tho.

I witnessed PhillyFan on his home turf, Roscoe's -- let's just say they have a waiter designated just to serve him

Hush up there MD, or else....

PhillyFan,
your agressive style of life makes me intrigued to meet you at the next get-together.

Personally I like the guy, but I didn't get to see him in action while watching a football game. We were at a gay country/western line dance bar.

Hey, i'm simply saying that if its during football, especially eagles football, i'm not nice to be around. I drink, curse, yell, and sometimes throw things.

I watch the birds and idle chit chat bothers me. Unless it's Iggle related of course.

...or involves the Dixie Chicks.

Excuse me, i'm trying to be "upbeat" and "positive" this week toots. Pipe down... or else...
