New Jersey is a melting pot - that's the often-used cliche, right?

Well, we're going to use it here because it not only applies to all of the people here from beautifully different cultures, but also to something near and dear to our everyone's heart this time of year...

Football. Both professional and college.

Let's face it, it's super hard to root for New Jersey's (kind of) hometown teams. The Jets are bad, the Giants are bad, and the Eagles (go birds) are definitely an acquired taste. Don't even get us STARTED on Rutgers.

Also, there are just a lot of people here from out of town (who we're sure moved here because the cost of living is so low).

The good news is, no matter which team you root for, there is probably a place for you to watch them outside of your home (since cable packages are expensive) and surrounded by like-minded beer and wing connoisseurs.
