Who Dey Revolution Game Days at Blackfinn

 

Comrades of the Revolution:

As we continue on our quest to force Mike Brown to instill competence in the front office, it is imperative that we sever all revenue streams to him.  While we must continue the boycott and not buy tickets to home games, that doesn't mean you have to stop watching football altogether. 

That is why we are proud to announce Who Dey Revolution Sundays sponsored by Blackfinn Bar & Saloon.  

Blackfinn, located downtown on 7th Street between Vine and Walnut, will be the official Who Dey Revolution bar all season long!  Blackfinn has great food and drink specials, along with 32 flat-screen tv's so you can catch every single NFL game, every Sunday (except of course, if the Bengals home games are blacked out).

What does this all mean for you?  Great question.  Starting this Thursday, September 3rd at 7pm, YOU can get a head start on the competition. 

By donating just $4.50 (in honor of the 4 1/2 wins last season) you will receive an official WDR mug and become an official member of the Who Dey Revolution.

Here is what your membership includes:

    * WDR Membership Card- which gets you 10% off all non-discounted items at Blackfinn -- good any time, 7 days a week.

    * Bring your official WDR 14oz mug back EVERY SUNDAY to get $1 Miller and Coors during the ENTIRE NFL SEASON!

    * Cheap appetizers every Sunday when ordering off the official WDR Gameday Menu.

    * Enter to win $1,000 worth of cash and prizes to be given away on Thursday, September 10th.

    * Enter to win $300 worth of cash, prizes, t-shirts, etc. given away EVERY SUNDAY AT HALFTIME!

Starting this Thursday, September 3rd from 7-10pm WDR writers will be at Blackfinn to distribute mugs and membership cards with your $4.50 donation, which helps support future Project Mayhem tasks.  

On Thursday, September 10th, head to Blackfinn to catch the NFL Regular Season opener as Tennessee invades Heinz Field to take down the defending champion Steelers.  Donate $4.50 to get your mug, membership card and enter for a chance to win $1,000 worth of cash and prizes to be given away during the game on September 10th!  

Remember, you can continue to bring your mug to Blackfinn EVERY SUNDAY during the season to get these great drink specials, cheap food and a fantastic football atmosphere...not to mention raffles every week at halftime. 

Viva la Revolucion!

Hey I live in Utah but I want a mug. Will you guys ship one to people like me?

MillerCoors is an official sponsor of the Bengals. How is supporting them any different than buying beer from MFB at PBS? When Miller does a post-analysis of the sponsorship they'll see that sales are good during football season and renew the deal with the Bengals when it expires. This raises a larger point...why not add a sponsor boycott as a future Project Mayhem? It wouldn't be that hard on us fans since the Bengals only have a few meaningful sponsors in the first place.

In the meantime instead of drinking MillerCoors products on gameday maybe WDR should support an independent (local perhaps?) brewer with no ties to MillerCoors or Anheuser (another Bengals sponsor).

BOOM! Black Finn was a great choice. I'm not going to be in town on Thursday, can we still buy the mugs and cards during next games.

[Who Che]

Rodger, you will be able to purchase mugs every Sunday throughout the season. $1 beers EVERY Sunday with said mug.

[Brock]

Ship one to me! I'll pay shipping!!! I am in need of a new mug.

[Wyatt]

I'd also like to donate the 4.50, plus shipping, for the mug and membership card. The rest of the stuff I could care less about, but I'd hate to miss out on this opportunity.

[MikeBrownGivesFreeBlumpies]

Ditto Buzz 'bout getting a mug. I'd like to use it at my favorite Bengals bar here in the Tampa Bay area, wilst watching every Bengals game this season. I'll even drink Sam Adams Oktoberfest!!

What's the color of horseshit? Brown, Brown, Brown!!

[Mockenrue]

I like the idea of sponsor boycotts, especially because the Bengals opted for Gold Star over Skyline as their official chili sponsors.

[KentuckianaBrowncoat]

Hey! I wanna mug too. How 'bout shipping instructions?

[GregC78&69]

Yes, I live in Columbus, so it's kind of hard to get down to the 'Finn, I would also like to purchase several mugs + shipping if at all possible.

Wish I could be there, I am spreading the word of the manifesto in the capital city!

¡Viva la Revolution!

[Michael Jones]

I live in the Bermuda Triangle of football, Harrisburg, PA (stuck in between Pitt, Baltimore, and Philly) and I want a mug! Hopefully I can get out there to party with my Who Dey Revs soon, but I'll raise my glass to the revolution every game day! Down with Brown!

[SaintsFan]

I still don't see why you guys can't buy Bengals tickets off the secondary market (Craigslist, eBay, etc) and not spend any money on concessions in the stadium.

If you buy tickets on the secondary market you're not putting any money into Brown's pocket. Those tickets have already been sold. Further, by member of the WDR buying the tickets and not buying ANY concessions or parking, you're COSTING Brown money by keeping them out of the hands of OTHER Bengals fans who WOULD buy concessions and parking, etc.

[Gary]

I would like a mug how do I get one, shipped to California?

[Corona Bolivar]

At this point I don't know about shipping the mugs, as we don't have a system in place to coordinate the process. For now we will just be selling the mugs at Blackfinn every Sunday throughout the season, and on the next two Thursdays, Sept. 3rd and 10th.

[Boomstick]

Bring mugs to Phebe's in NYC!!

[Sleeping With Bieniemy]

SaintsFan,

This is why we don't support the secondary market:

We prefer to err on the side of caution...so don't buy tickets at all.

Unrelated suggestion -

Tasks of project mayhem should be renamed "themes".

[Jeff Query]

The real question is will Blackfinn be playing the Bengals game on the radio? If the goal is to not have the Bengals sell out, but we are all supportive Bengals fans. We are therefore rooting for the Bengals to be blacked out and then we go to Blackfinn so we cannot watch the game? Wouldn't it make more sense to either:

A: Drive to Louisville or the closest bar where the games are not subject to blackout and watch it there.

B: Create an enormous tailgate outside the stadium where everyone just listens on the radio.

This Blackfinn idea doesn't really make sense.

[Hofbraunow]

If the bar has Direct TV with NFL Sunday Ticket (NFL Network), then it doesn't matter if there's a local blackout, i.e. for regular-TV network coverage...

That's the whole point of having NFL Sunday Ticket isn't it?

If that's the case, then the Blackfinn idea does make sense...

However, I too wish that the WDR mugs, etc. could be ordered online.

It is in fact possible to stream the games online over the internet (it is in fact entirely free, provided you already have internet access)...the picture quality isn't always HDTV, but personally, I've decided to skip buying an HDTV, for the time being, since I can watch the games online, free.
