All Dad’s Friends At Buffalo Wild Wings

Speaking to reporters, local 17-year-old Samantha Niegarten stated that she was shocked on Saturday afternoon to find the entirety of her father Dan Niegarten’s circle of friends camped out around the so-called ‘Dugout’ section of the town’s local Buffalo Wild Wings.

“I can totally see running into maybe one or two of my dad’s friends in this place, but like, why are they all here?” said Samantha, as seven more of her father’s friends gave her greetings ranging from head nods to full on finger-guns as they shuffled to a table of—at that point—over twenty others. “I mean, do they do this every week?”

Meanwhile, the staff serving Mr. Niegarten’s balding, flannel-shirt-bedecked friend group seemed remarkably unfazed by the fact that they were all in Buffalo Wild Wings together: “When you’re a hard-working man with a wife and kids weighing you down, sometimes a man’s gotta grab his crew and escape to where he can catch all the action in one place, you know?” said bartender Mike Silva, while thirty-eight of Dan’s friends cheered in unison at a Baylor player sinking a three-pointer on the screen behind him. “By the way, is Dan here yet?”

By the time Samantha left, she reported counting over fifty of her father’s friends in attendance, including several work friends whom she had assumed did not hang out with her father in a non-professional setting.

ADDENDUM: Mr. Niegarten did not respond to our request for comment; however, his wife Allison has informed us that she does not believe Dan to be much of a sports fan.
