To be honest, bars still (knock on wood) do not scare me. I have been to three for various reasons since I have been sober. I didn't find it difficult. I hope this continues.
You don't have to knock on wood. You can simply avoid the bar, Hobbers. Just a thought - have you ever thought about the NFL Ticket package from DirecTV? Or, perhaps just go to NFL.com and order the online package? Both are somewhat expensive, but let's be honest: they are not NEARLY as expensive as it will be sitting at a bar for 4 hours every Sunday - even if you're not drinking. Why put yourself in that situation? You'll save money by watching the games from home, and it's an easy and viable option. I'd highly recommend it, those packages are great and really give a true fan a better NFL experience! I say skip the bar...no reason to play with fire. Just a thought.
Also, since you're an NFC North fan, your team will probably have half their games televised anyway, as you live in an NFC North market. Good luck to your Lions - I'm a Vikings fan myself! Arroooooo!!!!
