Dewar Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 All I am taking from that is bet Syracuse/Pitt under the number on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Holy Fuck - would bringing it to Washington be a terrible idea I mean - traffic is already horrific. Adding a football game during Thanksgiving week... yeesh. Unless of course they put it in RFK - then I am all fucking in I just picture the game being in DC and then showing mostly Super Bowl highlights on the video wall.

Now Pro Football Talk is saying that Washington isn't an option any more, either. Looks like Detroit, like they did for Vikings/Giants back in 2010. Apparently the NFL hasn't even bothered asking Syracuse about the Carrier Dome, even though they've basically said "Fuck yeah we could do a Monday Night Football game here!"

Tabe Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I wonder who much about 3 or 4 feet of snow weighs because I would think the roof of my car would have tapped out It really depends on how wet the snow is. Your car can almost certainly take it unless there's an actual structural issue with the car. $10 an hour for shoveling that crap? Hell no. That's back-breaking work in miserable conditions. No thanks. Clearing off my roof 6 years ago when we got eight feet of snow over three weeks was bad enough. And that was with having a place to put the snow. Exactly, logistically, how are they getting the snow out of the stadium? You gotta carry it someplace and that makes the task really, really difficult.

Dolfan in NYC Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 NFL makes it official. Jets/Bills will not be played in Buffalo. No word on a replacement venue yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I think the people shoveling at the stadium would be shoveling the snow out of the stands, down towards the stadium floor. Once the snow gets to the floor, you bring in front end loaders and drumptrucks, and you scoop it up and truck it away to a dump, or snow disposal area. When in doubt, ask Canadians about snow removal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Answer is "shovel it wherever they tell you and let it be their problem", probably. They want to give me dinner money and tickets? Cool. I'll keep my mouth shut about the stupidity of it all for a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilwaldo Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 It would be nice to see Goodell invest this much energy in, you know, helping the city of Buffalo with this weather-related mess. Not that it would buy him some good will or anything. Because there is much more to moving the game than just picking up the phone. Cue the irrational hate towards Goodell for no reason because there is literally not that much he can do. The teams need practice times, fields, getting all of their equipment to a different location, hotel rooms, and transportation. Under the stadium and all of that snow is the Bills equipment. This is not a simple endeavor and just getting the Bills road equipment out of the stadium and the Buffalo area will be a huge logistics nightmare.

dogwelder Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 DeSean explains his recent social media message On Monday, Washington receiver DeSean Jackson posted the following message on social media: “You can’t do epic sh-t with basic people.” He has explained it by saying, essentially, “if the sh-t fits . . . .” “Whoever feels like it’s directed at him, that’s who it’s directed at,” Jackson said Thursday, via Rich Tandler of CSNWashington.com. Jackson opted not to elaborate. Yup, going to be a long rest of the season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Apparently Pittsburgh is out because there are four district championship games at Heinz Field on Friday, followed by Syracuse at Pitt on Saturday. Oh man, that field would look like they had a monster truck rally there by Monday. Or the pitch at Wembley last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Metrodome collapsed a couple years ago, and they moved the Vikings game to Detroit (I think on a Monday night?) admission was free. You had to pay for parking/concessions/etc, but they figured there was no way a last minute game was going to draw a paid crowd in a neutral city. I would have went, but it's 2.5 hour drive each way to Detroit, and work in the morning and all that jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I actually thought about it for a moment and realized that if they had played the game in DC - I would have gone and rooted for the Bills in Justin's honor 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
