Go to Champions Sports Bar

I love the Super Manning Brothers. Jay Cutler may be a baby, but he's still fun to watch. I love watching the Chargers choke and the Raiders fans dress up. I still laugh every time something doesn't go Jon Gruden's way. John Elway is still the best quarterback ever, but Brett Favre is still a close second. If any of this means anything to you, you probably will miss the NFL as much as I do.

Luckily, Vienna has solved the NFL problem. Actually, more specifically, the Marriott in Vienna has solved the NFL problem - one of the many reasons they are my favorite hotel chain. In the lobby of the hotel is an American sports bar called Champions.

If you need a Peyton Manning Fix: go to Champions Sports Bar on Sunday to watch the NFL live. It's a pretty fun place to go. They have amazing burgers and nachos (they are a little pricey, but totally worth every Euro cent) and European beer - that's a better combo than an ESPN ad staring Eli and Peyton. They have TVs everywhere showing different sports, and many of them are dedicated the NFL game. The only catch (or incomplete pass) is they only show one game at a time, and it's usually the Patriots, Jets, or Bears games. I've seen the Chargers, Steelers, Giants, and the Colts a few times, but not as much as the other three. Occasionally, you'll see the other teams, but it's usually only if they're playing an East Coast team or if it's a rival game. In other words, you don't see the Broncos very often.

But, other than that, it's great. You're watching football live on either CBS of Fox. And, you can tell your daddy, uncles, and friends, "Just remember that when I'm watching the exact same football game as you, at the exact same time as you, on the exact same channel as you, I'm drinking better beer than you."
