Bobcats @ Hawks: Twenty Dollar or Less »
Since I have been breaking the bank with my recent forays to Philips Arena, I decided to formulate a plan to spend less than $20 on dinner, booze, parking and good seats at a Hawks game. This is the Lola Sports Talk Recession Special. The Recession Special begins with a cheap, 100 level ticket. Being [...]…

The Suite Life »
The other night I got drunk and bought a courtside ticket to the Nets/Hawks. I figured the Nets only come to town once and this would be my New Years. The following morning I woke up to a text from my friend and LolaSportsTalk webmaster Spencer, telling me that he had an extra ticket to [...]…

The Battle for New Yor….er..Jersey »
The Jets/Giants game seems to come around as often as Haley’s Comet. A decent ticket to the game costs more that the street value of Sam Hurd’s stash.

Jets vs Patriots Featuring Woody Johnson and Tony Yayo »
During the Rex Ryan Era, the Jets have successfully defended their home (old and new) against the New England Patriots. The rivalry (the Jets have regained the right to call it that during the past two plus years) has been eerily even as of late, with the teams splitting the last six meetings. The two [...]…

Cornered Eagles »
I had been planning on attending the Dolphins @ Jets game since the schedule came out. A week before the game I made the decision to drive up from Atlanta for it, but then the problem arose: It’s a Monday night game, how am I going to watch football on Sunday?! I devised a plan [...]…
