Just curious, is this pure speculation due to changing practice locations, or do you have inside info? It's 6 days away, so they should be able to get the fires under control by then
I am not familiar with these fires, but in the past these fires can burn for days and weeks. Didn't a game get moved to AZ last year or the year before??
It was on the radio.They did have to move the game for similar reasons in 2003.
The Cardinals do have a bye this week . . .
Dry winds for the next few days. All of SoCal is burnig right now. It's impossible to say when they'll get them contained. As soon as they get one area out, embers start up other ones. Up here in LA there's a 7 mile fireline that's spreading because all the firefighters were trying to conatin Malibu when this new one started. One's burning in Anaheim. Additionally, if homes are destroyed or areas are unsafe and the Q is still a shelter, they're not gonna kick people out for a game. Last time there was a fire in SD they moved the MNF game to AZ and let people in for free. Of course the flames were literally licking on the hill behind the stadium. Dunno if the Cards play at home this weekend. Other possibilities are the Coliseum and Rose Bowl. Neither of which are in any danger of fires and there's no possible way for the Coliseum to ever be in danger of wild fires. Riot fires are another story. Could also play it in Houston like the Katrina Saints did in NY, though there seemed to be some neg feedback on giving a team an extra home game. Maybe they could move it to Germany...
The fact that a number of players and their families have been evacuated from their homes this could be a major distraction come this Sunday. I know in a time like this when people are being forced from their homes and they are burning to the ground that FF can not seem so important but there are some die hards out there that probably want to know this stuff.
dude, I've got news for you --- every day something bad's happening to somebody.a lot of the time you just don't hear about it.
Woops, sorry. Mods please delete or merge.
Having lived through wild fires several years ago I doubt they will be "under control" in 6 days.
Drunken Co-Eds in downtown Tempe! NOT! Never appreciated the $50.00 ticket price until I went to the free game a few years ago because of the fires. Every rock must have been turned over to drag out the drunk, fighting foulmouth idiots that could care less about football that found their way to the stadium that night. If they are willing to use a college venue, take it to Northern Cal.
If that place is still burning six days from now the problem isn't the fires, It's the people who control the fires!
What he said
This always kills me. My heart goes out to all of the people affected in SD as well. But seriously, does "God" really need our fickle prayers in order to be persuaded to get involved and take care of business? If so, really, what kind of god does our society really look up to?In any event -- I seem to recall this happened a couple years ago as well. I think I remember there being two Sunday or Monday night games because SD had to move a game to Arizona and play at night. I remember being really ticked off that the game WOULD have been on Sunday ticket if played at the scheduled time, but was completely unavailable to anyone outside of the local markets at the newly schedule time. I hope the NFL has fixed this telecasting loophole.
Dude relax, if you don't have faith no need to criticise others that do. Not sure this is the best thread to discuss the possible merits of prayer and what it means to people. So hopefully we can just leave it at that.
They have people and equipment from as far away as Georgia facing wrath of nature hot winds gusting up to 80mph. Only a let up in the wind will let them get it under control. Some things are bigger than us.
I don't think I criticized anyone Coryell and I certainly didn't mean to come off as critical of anyone in particular if I did. I guess my intention for the first comment was to be more thought-provoking than anything else. The rest of my post I think was very applicable to this thread.
