Sports Question

Going to NYC this weekend to meet up with Andrea (and Alwaysmissinpdc, aka Kathy on Sunday), and I am sooooo looking forward to it.

There is one glitch, though.

The Patriots are playing their 2nd playoff game Saturday night. While I certainly don't expect Andrea to sit in the hotel room with me that evening to watch the Pats WIN (crossing fingers here) nor do I want to spend my first full evening in NYC doing that, I will be curious (very) as to the ongoing score.

Assuming Andrea and I will be out in some bar (what a surprise!!) that night, will I be risking serious bodily injury if I ask a bartender or waiter if they know the score of the Pats game??? I readily acknowledge my propensity toward bar room brawls, but I'd rather Andrea not have to witness that side of me. And, rest assured, I'll be sure to NOT be wearing my Red Sox hat this weekend.

If your our cell phone can connect to the internet there are many sites to get the score.

I thought that level of football hooliganism was an exclusively European (mainly British, but less incresingly so) and South American phenomenon!

Specially with that Bawston accent of yours! Good luck with that! But seriously, I'm sure you two lovely ladies will have no trouble finding upstanding people willing to keep you updated on the score...

Seeing as the Bronco's are going win anyhow, why not just not watch the game!! This way, you won't be in a lousy mood after they lose.

In response to the cell phone references....

I'd get the scores or accept text messages if my phone weren't so out of date that it has a rotary dial.

That Smiley looks an awful lot like Tom Brady writhing in pain on his back after a big hit from the Bronco's!!

I think it is too! We have a new "On the Border" up here! I'll have to see if they reservations or not! They get quite busy! I'll look into and let you know!
