Ice Bowl was when the turf heating system failed.

And it was the last game of the season so players had plenty of time to recover.

True. But football played by women looks interesting. I'm waiting for it to come to a venue near me. :-)

And no, I don't think that Mrs. WBill will be invited.

The bitter cold overwhelmed Lambeau's new turf heating system, leaving the playing surface hard as a rock and nearly as smooth as ice.

Lombardi would take all these sissies to task. He would laugh at these kinds of stories until he peed his pants, IMO.

The playoff game the Giants and Packers played a couple years ago was even colder and no one complained.
