My coworker behind the bar and I spent a good hour doing commentary on the game. Basically saying things like "oh, he was just pounded by cocks", or "that **** drove hard until the ball made it in", etc. One of the best hours of my life, and the bar guests were absolutely in tears from it all.
I used to work in Newport TN. Newport highg school was the Fighting Cocks. They had t-shirts that said "You can't beat our Cocks".
BTW, they were not bullshitting. This happened while I was working there.

(Newport, TN-AP) June 13, 2005 - Authorities charged 144 people at possibly the largest cockfight in the country, officials said. Several SWAT teams, helicopters and dozens of state troopers participated in the raid Saturday near Newport, Tennessee on the sprawling Del Rio Cockfight Pit. They seized about $40,000 in cash.
The local district attorney says the operation is reputed to be the largest cockfight in the US. He says it was open and notorious, "you just can't stand back and let something operate like that in the community."
It was crazy. They had a big arena that seated hundreds of people with concession stands and everything.
