GOOOOO LIONS!!!!!! HUGE STORM IN CHICAGO MINNESOTA WITH NO STADIUM RODGERS DOWN OOOOO DAAAAAAAAAMN

The Mayor of St. Louis has offered the Edward Jones Dome as the host of the game. bastard. TCF Stadium (Gophers new stadium) FTW

GO BEARS

boooooooooo

I cant remember any storm related scheduled game other then Z's no hitter, nothing in the NFL that I remember

I'm hoping they move it to Monday. It will shorten the week for the Bears game on the Vikings

apparently, the NY Giants are stuck in Kansas City becuase of a huge snowstorm in Minnesota and having the airport there shut down would they play on Monday? Tuesday?

18° and windy as hell at gametime tomorrow wind chill factor about -5 / -10°

now if only the jet door could crush Brady's leg we might have something going

wouldn't that be ironic

It's really used to free up cap space -- it's not like IR in the NFL, which means you are done for the season. It's much more like the DL in baseball. But the DL in baseball requires specific amount of time missed. Is that the case here? no and lets face it, with the ability to stage a DL retroactively, neither does the mlb really.

its probably just the in vogue thing to do. I do know someone on the design team, and his explanation was the desire to have both those incredible fall days in the upper-midwest games outside with all the ambiance of downtown as well as the ability to play indoors in January because of the cold. Its hard for me to argue one way or the other. I think the RollerDome is actually really good for the Vikings, and they should simply renovate it, but I also happen to have a cousin (my source^) who is one of the principles at HKS who is working on that project. He was involved with the Colts facility too, fwiw. So, I wouldn't mind seeing him keep busy as well.

Up in the air. Originally the idea was for an outdoor only stadium but then you lose any chance of hosting the Super Bowl, Final Four and any kind of events/conventions/concerts when the weather isn't great. So then having a retractable roof became the main target but that's more expensive to build and get the funding for, which is the main issue. removable top. Thats what HKS had designed.

STUNNING! I never would have guessed San Diego fans would dislike anything about the Broncos. How insightful!

It's pretty much the storyline that most are going with. The Tribune called the penalty the turning point of the game. Humor sites like deadspin and KSK are casually referring to the refs screwing over the Lions again. I think the penalty was pretty much a must call as it happened in real time. If you have the benefit of replay you can decide not to. But you can't do what he did and expect not to get called. I think people (sportswriters) are just in disbelief in general over the Bears. Everyone wants to make Cutler to be the cry-baby (the whole McDaniels/Jeff George bit), the Bears use retreads for coaches, and the like. I laugh at the whole "McDaniels is the next Belichek" spiel I read lately. Yea, Denver just wasn't ready for change. ok. The fact of the matter is Belichek failed mightily in Cleveland and persevered though it, as the franchise was going through extremely turbulent waters. Meanwhile, McDaniels has pissing all over his players and eventually sent the ones he truly needed packing. Matt Cassell has done fine, but for cripes sake TIM TEBOW? I guess McDaniels could rebound, but I dont know. I still don't get why Cutler gets most of the blame for his falling out in Denver. A new hotshot offensive coach showed up and the first order of business was to try and replace the franchise QB who had already been to a pro bowl. What QB would not be upset with that? What QB would trust a guy like that?` I dont disagree. Also, I managed to pull my back the other day, and as part of my medication I was drinking some wine last night to dull the pain so I could sleep, hence the somewhat rambling nature of that post. Good Times!
