You have one person who is really wanting to finish watching their favorite teams game while the person who just sat down a bit ago is wanting their favorite teams game on that same TV. The thing is, some games run long, some of the college games are staggered a bit on purpose too, and let me tell you, OVERTIME is a fun hater for the person running the remote. Again, we don’t have a magic button like Buffalo Wild Wings (where can we sign up for one of those?), and most of this is beyond out of our control.
#TAVERN MASTER CRAZY GAMES TV#
You let your server know what game you are there to watch on the TV in front of you. You are patiently waiting and you begin to kinda let the anxiety come over you because your game is starting in 10 minutes and you can just see this not working out in your favor because the first round of games are still on. Let’s say your favorite team plays in the second round of games so you come in a little early and scope out a place to sit. Pair that with an order of buffalo chicken dip or tavern espinaca and you are golden. We start to feel like pros and go on about our day, slanging those drinks and preparing those big ol’ 18″ pizzas that will hold you over for quite some time. We can accommodate those requests without a hitch. Everyone comes in, sits down, picks out what TV’s they want and what games they are wanting to watch. You know what’s crazy is the first round of games on a Saturday or Sunday is a breeze. Not so much, we don’t like the looks we get when that happens so be nice to your TV guide master the next time that happens. Most patrons in Johnny’s think we just played a huge prank and/or we are just that plain mean. For example, when a game switches broadcast channels in the middle of the game –Crazy right? but yes, that does happen. Nine times out of ten, it is beyond our control. TRY is an important word because although we have well over 60 TV’s, something always happens on game day. When it comes to the TV’s we try our BEST to make everyone happy. Trust us, we have those people who show up as soon as those doors open to pick out what games they want where and they will stay for the majority of any given day. To keep it as fair as possible, all of our TV’s are first come, first served. Everything you can think of, from Nascar to European Soccer to Golf to NBA, and of course baseball and football. We have an endless amount of TV requests every hour. Working in downtown Kansas City, at the prime location for watching an abundant amount of sports all at the same time, you see it all. And we’re all over the Kansas City metro so there’s that. What better place can you go to then Johnny’s Tavern to watch sports and eat delicious food? No, seriously, you can’t pick a better spot. Another behavior that sports encourages is it bring people together.

Is it location, tradition, alma mater, when in Rome type of thing, favorite player, flip of a coin, Vegas, fantasy related, band wagon (yeah I said it), or some other oddly strange reason? Whatever it is, I’m sure it makes sense to you. The crazy thing about sports is no matter what, we all have some crazy twisted way of how we decide to root for one team over another.
#TAVERN MASTER CRAZY GAMES SERIES#
This time of year the World Series has just ended, NBA is back in action, Sporting KC is clawing their way through the playoffs, College Football is well on it’s way, and let’s not forget about them CHIEEEEEEFFFSSSS baby! I love it all. SPORTS!!! I love to watch a good game, no matter the sport, truly.

I know, I know - It’s here! I’ve lived here my whole life so you think I’d be used to this by now. I must admit, I’m not a fan of winter in KC…AT ALL. The ONLY thing that could make it better, for me personally, is if the cold weather just held off juuuust a little while longer. I don’t know about you, but this time of year is my absolute favorite.
