There seems to be one friend in every group that ends up getting the party forced upon him or her at their house. The NFL's friend would be Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, but he'll be charging a lot more than $5 for access to the keg in the backyard and he was never exactly forced into throwing his Super Bowl party.
