For those of you who haven't heard, Jerry Remy's Sports Bar & Grille is up and open for business on Boylston St. in Beantown.
I mean, people buy up this guy's scorecards and 'Rem Dawg' T-shirts & apparel off of his website like hotcakes. Why not jump into the restaurant business? If any of you know of anyone who has worked in the restaurant/bar industry, you know it isn't always smooth sailing. Yet, anything Remy touches seems to turn to gold, so why not? Yeah, he's gone a little mainstream and I see his face a little too much from time to time, but he's a likable character and has done so very well for himself. Not many ex-pro ballplayers become significantly more popular AFTER their playing career comes to a close. Rem Dawg is one of the few to accomplish this feat.
Have you heard about the 'season passes' that he's offering? The guys and I were joking about getting ours when we were on the air taping the show this past weekend. In my opinion, this is a brilliant idea by Remy and his people. I guess it will remain to be seen how it plays out, but it's quite innovative, to say the least. Pony up $500 of your hard earned greenbacks for a season pass to Remy's joint. A season pass that guarantees you a table every time you come in while watching the game on one of the HD flat screen TV's. You also get a $25 food and beverage credit each time you show up. Let's break out the basic 5th grade arithmetic for a second. Even the creme de la creme supreme geek of Red Sox Nation can't go out and watch ALL 162 games at Rem Dawgs Bar & Grille---life happens---but how about just 25, for arguments sake? $500 divided by 25 games = $20 added onto your bill at the end of the night. But wait, you forgot your $25 food/beverage credit, so in reality Rem Dawg just gave you a $5 coupon to watch the game there. Not bad, eh? Granted you'll still spend some cake while you're there, but what do you think? I like it.
He's offering a $350 pass for Pats games under the same type of guidelines.
The boys and I might have to brainstorm on that one. Especially after Wifey TCFB says to me in the car last night.. "That would be cool for you, Slats and Marshall." Obviously she was forgetting that I'm the proprietor of a sports empire, called TCFB....HELLO!!! I don't pay full price for anything anymore. Haven't for some time now. Rem Dawg, hit me up on the cell or e-mail me at the site. I'm willing to settle at $100. It'll be good exposure for you.
All kidding aside, good luck Jerry.
Chuck
