If you find yourself heading to a sports bar, instead of say, having a nice brunch or a picnic outside, here are some ideas to survive the day.
A smoke free bar.
Even if you are a smoker, no one wants to sit in a cloud of toxic gas for 4 or 5 hours. And smokers, at a non smoking bar you have a GREAT reason to excuse yourself every 15 or 20 minutes or so.

Find the food
Try to negotiate a bar with good food. Not that hot wings at hooters isn’t awesome every now and then, but if this is a regular experience you will need something that doesn’t get topped with blue cheese dressing. I started to resemble a lineman by the end of my first football season.

Company
If you can convince a girlfriend to come by and visit you, DO IT! It will help pass the time substantially. Group viewings are always a smart idea – someone will be willing to talk to you. On that same note, never, ever, go with your guy and one of his friends. I guarantee that the time will be spent drooling on yourself as they sit in silence except for the occasional exclamation about some play. They will then look surprised/annoyed when you try to make conversation. (nope, not bitter…)

Entertainment
Iphone, Kindle, Ipad, book…hell an Etch-a-Sketch will do in times like these. The people watching will be good, but even that can only last so long.

Attire
Comfort is king here. If you get stuck sitting around eating wings and drinking beer, elastic waistbands are your friend. Warm clothes are good (why IS the a/c always up so high?) Sheknows.com Suggests wearing something cute and low cut, but Im not so sure She REALLY know. Why give him cleavage AND sports? Talk about a two for one. What do you get? A bunch of drunks yelling at a TV screen? Not even Mark Sanchez can make that okay. Save the boobs for the picnic or brunch.

If none of this works, drink heavily and start planning next weekend.
