Sometimes AFTER the Pro games you get more of the drunks

I didn't mean to imply that's the only way it happens. Trust me, nothing against drunks -- I can't remember the last tailgate where I was sober. But errant throws can come from well meaning people who have bad aim. Most of the time it seems like it happens because footballs take weird bounces. Or sometimes it's just rude people who don't care if there are people or grills around them.
But between dinged cars, people sitting down getting hit with a football, or grills getting knocked over, I think it's more annoying than it's worth. I've played catch in parking lots but almost always where there is a ton of space or I know my tailgate neighbors. Not everyone does that.
