NFL Sunday Ticket in SF

As a fan of a football team from the other coast, I struggle every Sunday with my responsibilities. Do I owe it to the team to leave the house at 10 AM every Sunday and head to find somewhere to watch the game? Do I also owe to the team to wear my jersey and hat every time I do make it out?

Today I decided it was not worth the effort, that following Kevin Kolb's first start online would provide me sufficient frustration. (Saints just scored again off the Kold pick). Where to go when I do need to watch the game? For example if it was Jeff Garcia's first start of the season? Or next week for Mike Vick's first start?

(warning: this list is focused on SoMa, particularly on places I can walk to)

SF Places With Sunday Ticket

Places I Go / Places I have been

MoMo's - Is my regular spot. Decent bar and brunch menu. It is across from the ball park and gets crowded when the Giants are in town

Pete's - I think this is the same owner as MoMo's, a little more crowded, a little louder, definitely a bar atmosphere (definite aroma of stale beer). Higher fun potential, higher no-fun potential

Zeke's - Is right across the street. TV's are kind of small, but it is family run. A lot of Packer fans, and the food is only so-so, but generally a good atmosphere

4th St Bar and Deli(?) - The bar next to the Mariott at 4th and Mission has Sunday ticket. 2 years ago, I watched the Birds crush the Lions (63-0 at the half) .

Kip's (Berkeley) - This was where I watched the Birds when I lived in Berkeley. Perfectly serviceable food, reasonable beer prices, and a few other Iggles fans.

Places I Should Try This Season

Bloodhound - I've been meaning to go to this bar at night. But I guess I could check it out during the day

Kezar - Pretty well known as a sports bar, and I've heard it's a big spot for Eagle's fans. But it's on the other side of town. Would you go to a sports bar in the north-east just to watch a game? Having gone to Chickie and Pete's for Monday night, I'd have to say, Yes, Yes I might just go way out of my way to watch a game.

Ted's - I just saw this on a Yelp search. It's pretty close to home.

What I'd Really Like to Find

Good brunch (not just bar lunch), big TV's, regular height tables, wifi - in that order

I'd really like to find a Dim Sum resturant with Sunday ticket.

Any other suggestions? Places I missed? Places I should try?

What's lacking here?

So I'm finding myself a little bored at work and feel the need to increase my blog reading list. It's gotten so bad that I'm actually writing to kill time. While the photo blog is nice, I'd like more words.

I harbor no illusions about the uniqueness of my identity. I think 2/3 of SF is capable of creating content that I would be interested in, and even if the percentage of people drops on a national scale, there should be sufficient web content to keep me entertained.

I guess what I'm looking for is recommendations of blogs to read. Laughing Squid is great, I like Mission Mission and SFist, but what else is out there? I find Sartorialist kind of dull (not the lack of link), and Gizmodo has been too militantly pro-mac too often for me to take them seriously. Any good recommendations for cocktail themed blogs? Or woodworking blogs? I think I'd prefer amateur content to professional, but will read anything a few times.

Also, I heard Whit's blog is huge (as in very popular), but I'm not sure what the url is. Any ideas?

And finally, is anyone reading this? Or will the lack of comments echo back to me like a shout in the uninhabited wilderness?
