I USED to do it all the time. Either host a cook out or get a group together at a sports bar. But more n more, I found it a distraction. When my Rams or Gators are in the middle of a CRUCIAL drive, I do NOT want to hear about your crappy Boss or have to find the extra napkins. My last straw was when I went TO a party for the Rams / Pats Super Bowl. There was about 25 people there and maybe FOUR of us who gave a damn about the game. Had a TV set up outside that could hardly be heard because people were raising their voices over it to talk about lawn care or the big sale at JC Penneys. The Comic, Bill Burr, has a great skit on this subject.
