According to the guys in the office, there's some sort of sporting event going on this weekend.

The Colonial Athletic Association Men's Basketball Championship is in town and apparently that's a big deal.

I'm told that, in addition to the 12 teams traveling in for the games, the conference brings thousands of fans from all over the East Coast to our fair city. And since we're about to be inundated with sports fans, I thought it was only fitting that we gave them a local guide to the sports bars around town.

Whether you're in town for the game, you're a local who wants to check the score or you're just looking for some good finger-food, Richmond.com's guide to sports bars tells you where to go. It's a simple list that includes the only criteria that I can imagine sports fans care about: wings, beer and televisions.

I'll tell you how many TVs each place has, how many variety of wings they serve, how many beers are on tap and whether or not you can order a pitcher of beer. The rest is up to you. So happy dining, sports fans -- and go Rams!

Bailey's: Bailey's has both a Southside and West End location, each with 40 TVs and 10 wing flavors. The West End spot serves 28 draft beers (no pitchers) and the Southside has 36 beers on draft (no pitchers). 7502 W. Broad St., 804-755-6800; 11581 Robious Road, 804-560-4600

BlackFinn Restaurant & Saloon: This downtown place has 34 TVs, 12 beers on tap (no pitchers) and two wing varieties. 1001 Haxall Point, 804-643-3466.

Big Daddy's Sports Club: D.C. of Big Daddy's swears his is the best bar in the Bottom and with 52 TVs, 12 wing flavors (the best wings), 10 beers on draft (available by the pitcher) and a $1 draft special, all-day-everyday, it's hard to argue with him. 1718 E. Main St., 804-344-5344

Buffalo Wild Wings: With four local locations you can't go far and miss a BW3. It offers 14 wing sauce options, 20 beers on tap (available by the pitcher) and boasts five big screen TVs and 40 small ones. 1090 Virginia Center Pkwy., 804-553-9998; 12056 Southshore Pointe Drive, 804-739-9266; 7801 W. Broad St., 804-672-8733; and 1501 E. Cary St., 804-739-9266.

Champps: This Stony Point Fashion Park may only have two wing varieties on its menu, but with 12 beers on tap (no pitchers) it makes up for it. It also has 10 TVs and two big-screens. 9202 Stony Point Pkwy., 804-323-6053
