THE NFL IS TRYING TO RUIN MY PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE

by Sooze, Babes Love Baseball

Built in 1920 in LaCrosse, Wisconsin as a vaudeville theatre, the Rivoli is one of the sweetest places you'll find outside of Lambeau Field to watch a Green Bay Packers game. So it's a good thing they don't give a crap what the NFL says.

Yes, they have beer. Pitchers of beer. And amazing pizza.

Earlier this week, the NFL sent letters to three Wisconsin businesses, forbidding them to hold special screenings of its games. Of course, sports bars are excluded from this ridiculous policy, along with folks who watch their Green and Gold on a "TV commonly used in a home."

This isn't the first time the league has tried to drive the fun train out of town. In years past, they've sent cease-and-desist orders to hotels, schools, museums, theaters and yes, even churches.

Thank goodness Rivoli manager Chris Kelley is such a risk-taker! He told the LaCrosse Tribune Wednesday that since the theater hasn't been contacted yet, a free screening is still set for this Saturday when the Pack face Mike Holmgren's Seattle Seahawks.

Thanks, Mr. Kelley!
