With the stressful week that many people have had, the
chance to unwind by watching a football game is a necessity. This weekend the
Saints will be playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what is sure to be a great
match-up. Sports bars are opening back up, and restaurants are making sure that
you can enjoy a game and great drinks while cheering the Saints on to what will
be, hopefully, their fifth win in a row. Knock on wood.
