Another Word for Nerd

When we came out of our house around 1pm to go to lunch, our crazy neighbors down the street had set up three flat-panel TVs and a PA system with loudspeakers in order to watch today’s NFL football game.

I know this has got to be violating a rule or two about “public performances”. I was only able to find rules about Super Bowl parties, however.

For groups that want to host Super Bowl parties — other than sports bars and businesses that normally show televised sports — here are rules the NFL says must be followed:
- No admission fees (even to pay for snacks).
- Only one television (55 inches or smaller).
- No use of the words “Super Bowl” in promotional materials.
- No exhibition of the game in connection with events “that promote a message.”

I normally wouldn’t mind, but when we came out of our house we could clearly hear everything from their sound system, and we’re 4-5 houses away. They’d turned it down when I went out an hour later to take pictures, but the game may not have started yet.

Update: When the game(s) did start, they kept things to a reasonable volume, and had everything packed back up by around 6pm as far as I can tell.

The entire set of pictures is here.
