I'll admit I'm biased, but how the hell is it a touchback when you muff a punt backwards into the end zone.

NFL gets what they want Peyton Vs Brady. Pats are going to rue the day they blew all those games at end of season

Just went onto Stub Hub to check out prices because I will be in Denver. I don't need to see it live all that bad. Would've been fun. Any recommendations of places to go watch it???

You're familiar with Pat's Pub in DT Denver already (F4, 2008). The Falling Rock Taphouse is decent. The Fox And Hound is ok, too.

Try The Viewhouse downtown near Coors Field. A little too hip for me, but you might like it.

Downtown is cool, LoDo is cool, Colfax is okay the closer you are to downtown.

Colfax....good Lord. You serious?

Colfax is actually NPB in some areas. They've put a lot into that area. The closer to downtown the better. Don't go east of Colorado Blvd.

Yeah, you might get panhandlers and people trying to sell you heroin. That's called ALL OF DOWNTOWN DENVER.

On that note...there's no better place to catch the game than Casa Bonita. Come hungry. Trust me.

I just remember Colfax being rather shady, but don't remember the "boundary" where it's really really shady. Like, "is this guy passed out or dead" shady.

And Casa Bonita rules.

A lot of the sketch has moved to 16th Street Mall. The panhandlers and druggies know that's where the tourists are, so they're all over the place down there.

I don't mind those guys. They usually don't initiate. It's the other criminal aspects I'm not fond of.

FTFY. The common tactic is just order the least meat-based product possible and fill up on unlimited sopapillas.

You say that as if a person would eat there more than once.

I'm mostly still amused it's a real place. Next time I'm in Denver it's a must-go place and I will plainly admit that is 100% due to the South Park episode.

I assume that's the case, but feels like once it's been touched and is a live ball it should be either down at the 1 or a safety. Dumb rule if that was the right ruling.

The staff there actually has people who watch for whenever that episode is aired, so they can staff up for the next couple days.

Haven't been yet myself, but by all accounts it's a one-and-done deal. The food is abysmal except for the unlimited sopapillas, but you have to order an entree to get those.

It's bad. When I went it was like going to lunch at a school cafeteria, tray and everything. Bonus: the dollar store that is next door in the South Park ep...yep, that's really there.

You realize all of this only makes me want to go there all the more.
