Seriously, look up the 'Hugo Bowl'.

The NFL is considering moving the game to Monday or Tuesday in case of bad weather.
Well slather me in butter and call me a biscuit. Didn't they KNOW the possibility of bad winter weather would increase during WINTER?
Personally, they need to play the game in whatever Mother Nature throws at it. They wanted this up there, they got it. Now deal with it.
Your opinion may differ.
Agreed. Football games should not be delayed, cancelled, or moved to another location due to inclement weather.
Bunch o’ pansies.
Who are the whiney d bags in this story in your opinion?
HINT: I don’t see any. I see some buyers remorse for a stupid decision, and some worry about it……and I dont think most fans want a Super Bowl dominated by weather, but I see now whining…...
What used to be a simple wardrobe malfunction will now be a frostbitten medical emergency.
. . . and commercials and drugs and getting laid and . . .
I agree with you. Play in whatever you get. Stupid to put it there in the first instance, but since you did ... do it.
Plus, think of the loss of productivity impact, if no one goes to work or school to stay home and watch it on weekday. The DOJ would have to launch an investigation of some type.
I disagree, but only for weather that rises to the state-of-emergency type of event.
A hurricane, or a real blizzard? Safety says stay home or move the game.
A snowstorm or rain? Even a “big” snowstorm? Play the game as planned.
It’s RACISM!/s
Seriously, look up the 'Hugo Bowl'.
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, there used to be a wonderful game called football, played in whatever weather happened by MEN who “gave ‘em the business” at the bottom of the pile. My ultimate Super Bowl would be Da Bears playing the Brownies, and flipping a coin to see whether it’d be at Soldier Field or the OLD Cleveland Muni.
Wusses.
It’s perfect football weather.
Having changed tires on a semi when the wind chill was minus 55 degrees, Fahrenheit, I respectfully disagree with you.
I went to MANY, MANY games (baseball and football) at the old Muni. I miss that place.
I remember sitting in the upper deck behind home plate with the dreaded Yankees in town for a double-header (remember those?). Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. It got rained out. Talk about a bummer.
"What the Hell is going on out here?"
I thought Selig or Stern were the worst commissioners in my lifetime,but Goodell may give them a run before he’s done.
Remember Bud Grant in Minnesota? He refused to let his players have heat during those nasty Minnesota winters.
Color me surprised. The only people who don’t seem to care are the millionaires who are going to be chasing the ball around the field.
They’ve been “considering” a move since they made this decision. It’s always been contingent on the weather being so bad there’s a city shutdown, like what happened to the game in Philly last year. Regular bad weather will be played through, just like any other football game.
And he had 4 NFC titles to show for it. (Technically one of those was an NFL Championship, the year they lost to KC in the SB).
Football needs to be over by Thanksgiving so we can get on with Hockey (which needs to be over by Opening Day).
