As a big Air Coryell fan as a kid, this was one of the most upsetting losses I ever suffered.

Still think they got hosed by playing in the Miami sauna the week before and then frigid Cincy.

I am sure the network reps are happy that they got a bunch of "who cares?" games. MAYBE Packers and 49ers will do good numbers, but the rest?

So pretty much like every year where Brady and Peyton aren't playing each other?

 

I was actually just typing that when you replied. I'd probably throw in the Steelers as well, because of their following, but otherwise the NFC matchups always feel bigger.

Maybe it's because 95-99 was pretty much the height of my teenage years football obsession, but Packers/Niners always seems like a huge fucking deal to me.

If you can't sell out your stadium, your don't deserve a playoff home game, I don't care what your record is. Green Bay I'm looking at YOU!

Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm throwing the BULLSHIT flag here. Have you seen the weather forecast?

 

It's the Ice Bowl II.

 

The HIGH temperature for Sunday is projected to be -5 (That's NEGATIVE FIVE). The low? NEGATIVE 20.. The Wind Chill? NEGATIVE 51 DEGREES. (For our euro fans, that's a -46 celsius).

 

Anyone buying tickets better wear seven or eight layers of clothing and sign waivers.

Would you want to sit in that fucking weather? I've been to a game that was cold and that was just normal temperatures and it was still way too damn cold. This is like the lowest level of Dante's version of hell.

I guess this is what dome stadiums were built for. I'm sorry, but I don't care how spectacular ice bowls are. If the winner of this game has to forfeit next weeks game due to 40 of the 53 players comeing down with the flu/pneumonia, how would that look?

Anyone with a lick of sense will be at home, tucked under a blanket and watching the game on their nice TVs.  Who willingly sits in negative weather?  The players wouldn't be there, but they're contractually obligated.

In high school, I played in a game in single digits.  It's almost impossible to describe what that felt like, the way everything stung, the way you nearly died on the sideline as the sweat froze to your face...

 

I can't even begin to fathom playing a game in significantly colder weather.

Ask the old-timers that played in some of those types of games, they fucking sucked.

I can't even imagine what working that game would be like - from the ticket ushers to the guys on the field. Just shuffling around - wishing that you were dead.

 

Catching/kicking punts and kicks will also be a blast! The football will feel like a bowling ball.

 

Eff that noise!

 

13-6 final score.

I dig weather porn as much as the next football fan, but if your stadium is in an area that sees regular temps south of 20 degrees in Dec-Jan, then stick a roof on the fucker.  

 

Watching the Vikings play at University of Minnesota next season is gonna be a blast.  Thank god the Eagles only have to go to Green Bay next year.
