Time running out to be included in NFL bar listing

Bar owners have until 4 p.m. Tuesday to give us the information we need to include them in this year's NFL bars listing.

The annual directory lists bars that cater to fans of specific NFL teams.

The rules:

n Each bar must root for an individual NFL team and show only that team's game while the team is playing. Sports bars, sports books, casinos, bars or rooms inside casinos, or anyplace else where other games are being shown while the home team's games are being broadcast will not be listed.

n Each bar must show every game its team plays, which means that the bar must subscribe to the NFL Sunday Ticket satellite package.

n The bars must offer food and/or drink specials, and bar owners or managers must call to give us details -- including prices -- of those specials. Regularly priced menu or bar items will not be included.

n The listing includes giveaways bars will offer during their teams' games -- footballs, caps and the like -- but we won't list gaming-related giveaways or promotions.

n Finally, we'll accept all of this info only from a bar's owner or manager and only via a one-on-one telephone conversation with reporter John Przybys at 383-0280. Press releases, e-mails, faxes, letters, voice-mail messages and secondhand messages will not be accepted.

Bar owners or managers should call between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday or Tuesday. The deadline to call is 4 p.m. Tuesday. No calls will be accepted after that.

This year's listing will appear in the Review-Journal Living section Sept. 5.
