    "Sports" bars that don't play games with sound drive me nuts
    Just got back from bar with my group of ladies and handicapping buddies to watch Hawks vs Flames. What a fukkin' beating. Anyways, we are all settled in with our beers and bitch slap drinks (thanks fiveteamer), when the game starts. But there is no sound! It was just sports recaps before that so I understand having the sound off then. I ask the waitress to turn the sound up - it is not the same without commentating - but she says it is only the first round of the playoffs and not big enough of a game to warrant sound.

    I lose it, telling her that we have huge action on the game and that if we win we could buy the fukkin place and send her fat ass packing. Obviously she is a total square and cannot tell from our clothing and mannerisms that we are big time. I was wearing my leather jacket and Stanley Cup rings I bought off eBay. She tells me to calm down and that we should pay the bill and leave. I tip her $0.01. Not $0, but specifically $0.01 and write at the bottom "penny whore".

    We went down the road to another bar where there was sound. Hawks win; too bad I had only the moneyline. All in all a good night, but have learned a lesson for the future.

      Hmm. That wouldn't be a big deal to me. Although, probably 90% of the time I don't even watch the games I bet on...

        Plenty of bars without sound here. Usually though we have multiple games on at once, and it's packed with people, so no one would be able to hear it anyways.

          Exactly, Chute. If I watch my games, I'm usually in a sportsbook and have action on multiple games anyway. I'll usually be watching a few different games. I don't care what the commentators are saying in one of them or any of them for that matter.

            Monkeyfocker you are betting too many games and being all business

            You have to be business at the office, and then have a good time rooting in winners with friends.

            Sportsbooks are depressing places, basically attract the bottom of the barrel of society. SBR has some exceptions at least.

              I just have other things going on where I don't usually watch the games. I usually only watch my games when I'm in a book waiting on a line to change. So I need to be there.

                    What was the name of the bar and where is it mathdotcom? Want to write it down as a place to go if I'm ever in the area since I regularly watch sports with the TV muted. Really, you "lost it" because of a bar not having the sound on for a game on TV?

                      1. Why did you wear a leather jacket on an 85 degree weather day?

                      2. The Heat won so you Hawks ticket (the one you were going to bye the bar with) didn't cash.

                      You are a bad story teller JJ.

                        1] I am in Canada, not Newark
                        2] Flames-Hawks = Calgary Flames vs. Chicago Blackhawks. Not Hawks vs Heat, dumbass.

                          Willie, why do you prefer the sound off?

                          So you can hear your farts better?
