Good Nashville BBQ joints and sports bars?

[DBR96A]

Hay, I'll be in Nashville this coming weekend for a football game, and I wanted to get dinner at a good BBQ joint Saturday evening, and catch the "late" football games at a sports bar Sunday afternoon. I'm looking for a large, sit-down BBQ place, but it has to be authentic and serve french fries. Same deal with the sports bar; I prefer a big place with lots of TVs showing lots of different games. Optimal locations are downtown Nashville, the Opry Mills area, the I-65 corridor north of downtown, and the I-24 corridor (south)east of town. Thanks!

I like hanging out at Bailey's downtown on Broadway...they have plenty of TV's, billards, and as far as I know, the only place on Broadway that serves a full menu of food after midnight, they close around 3am.
