VENUE INFO
I hear there's a football game on this weekend, but the details are fuzzy. I stopped paying attention when the Colts lost. But there are surely sad souls out there who still want to watch the Super Bowl -- degenerate gamblers, New England fans -- so Taffy will set aside his partisanship long enough to point you in the direction of sports bars that will cater to all your needs on game day.
