Unexpected Venue

On Sunday I got the urge to go watch the Eagles/Cowboys at a bar. I have watched football games at bars before but my choice of bars this time was unexpected, Foxboro. Yes as the name suggests this is a Patriots fan hang out but it also is around a mile from my house so it was convenient. The game wasn’t until 4:25 and the Patriots played early so I knew it shouldn’t be too bad.

I ate at the bar. My tuna melt, fries and chips were greasy but good comfort food. I washed it down with a couple Shock Tops. After I finished eating I started feeling cold, I think they had the AC cranked way down. I wound up heading home after half time to watch the rest of the game. Even when I got home the chill persisted. I threw on a sweatshirt and watched the rest of the game under the blanket on my bed.

Unfortunately that location is not ideal for football watching. I wound up falling asleep late third quarter but thankfully woke up for the last 60 seconds of the game where the Eagles defense almost blew it, allowing the Cowboys to drive the field with no time outs, aided by several defensive penalties. The D came up big at the end however, saving a win. It was tight game for it’s entirety. I feel lucky that we escaped with a W.
