Last year was the first year I really followed football. I started going to a Patriots bar with a friend of mine every week. I must say, watching football in a crowded bar where everyone is cheering for the same team is a heck of a lot more exciting than sitting at home watching it on tv by yourself or with a few friends. I was amazed at how crowded the bar would get every week, and we made quite a few new friends by seeing the same groups there every Sunday (not to mention the bartender knew us pretty well, so we usually got hooked up).
One of my favorite things about the city is that there are sports bars for practically any team you can imagine. I swear, if there were a national shuffleboard league, you could find a bar to watch all the games in with fellow fans. This also means I don't have to limit my favorite teams to the ones in the NY area just so I can watch the games. I jumped on the Patriots bandwagon because that was my friends team, but as I get more and more into it and start following more closely, I will find my own team.
So get out your jerseys, and crack open a beer because football season has OFFICIALLY begun!
