Another 5Reasons Watch Party! (You’re not happy.)
We know what we’re good at — memes, parody songs, Twitter sparring, picking on Giancarlo Navas.
We know what we’re bad at, too.
Watch parties.
We’re the worst. Ever.
Starting with the Miami Dolphins preseason, we were 0-9-1 hosting watch parties at various South Florida locations last fall and winter, from Uncle Al’s in Sunrise to Texas Roadhouse in Miramar to Township on Las Olas to Duffy’s in North Miami Beach. That included Dolphins, Heat and Hurricanes games, most of which weren’t even close.
For the Miami Hurricanes’ embarrassing loss to LSU, we even got caught in a monsoon in the fourth quarter as we out on the Uncle Al’s patio, long after the game was decided.
Our only tie? We watched FC Barcelona beat Real Madrid at Futbox, and we really didn’t care who won.
But we don’t give up.
So….
Announcement!
We're going to host an NBA lottery watch party on May 14th.
We just don't have a site yet.
If your restaurant/bar wants to host, let me know.
We can't screw this up too badly!

It’s not too late to cancel your lottery watch party. This is a fork-in-the-road moment. If you carry on, then you will always want to go back in time to before you made this terrible decision. pic.twitter.com/EqAyy6Msdg

Waiting for the push notification that the NBA has officially announced the Heat are no longer eligible for the draft lottery https://t.co/X75yGgRDio

Even people in our network weren’t thrilled:
I love that the reaction to this is Steve Carrell shouting “NOOO” in the office https://t.co/cWbMMzDc9V
