There was no other way for the group dubbed 'Our Gang Football' group to watch Super Bowl 50 than together. 

During the football season a group of 30 to 35 people meet ever Sunday at Tony and Tinker Britton's home in Palmer Ranch. Sunday night they met with friends and guests for a party of 50 to watch showdown between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers at Gecko's Grill & Pub. 

Guests surprised hosts Tony and Tinker Britton with a customized cornhole game set with the group's name and colors. One glance around the room revealed which team the group was rooting for to win. Although typically most of the members are New York Giants fans they gladly cheered on the Broncos to victory. 

Aside from cheering on all things football related, the group collects for the Toys for Tots campaign during October and November. Tony Britton handed
