I suspect one reason sports bars do not prevail is the thousands of come and go private clubs. We've all been to them, and we all have our favorites.

Small clubs, tightly bonded members, decent grub, and killer entertainment value. Yeppers, I speak of the private home living room or home theater clubs where friends gather for games, for pizza or bbq, friendships, chips and drink.

It seems fair to say we're a wee bit spoiled.
