I explained why it was idiotic right after I called it idiotic.
That's their own problem if they want to drink and drive. We shouldn't be enabling their dependancy.
First off, you explained nothing. "Impending blizzard?" Its on going, some areas are near 10" right now.. Some roads are closed, no transportation. Then you blame it on the NFL and resting stars? Of course, if you owned as team and had 90-100 million tied up in players, you would care for their safety. Owners don't care about FF, its the least of their worries. They moved the game back 2 nights, its no big deal, at all. In fact, its happened before, and it will happen again.I think its pretty sad when people continue to ignore laws and public safety for the fact " there isn't anything on TV tonight" factor.
ROADS ARE FREAKING CLOSED! CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS!
The idiotic part is people still putting the blame on the NFL. The city of Philly made the call when they advised people to stay home. The NFL really had no choice. Anyone looking for more here is fishing and just looking for reasons to bash the NFL. You wanna bash Philly, go ahead; but the NFL had no choice. The mayor shut the city down; what else would you expect the NFL to do. Do you really expect them to say... "Your Mayor said not to go out, to stay in; BUT WE ARE THE NFL, come to the game everything will be fine."?
Oh, I think Philly is pretty tarded, too. But you kinda missed my point.
No, I didn't. You said the NFL made a bad decision here; what decision should they have made?
Here 20 minutes EAST we have about 9 inches so far and 25 mph winds - 
Supposed to keep snowing till noon tommorrow
That's tough, hang in there bud.I'm in a semi final against Maclin and Vick and up 55 points. That's right in the range Vick and Maclin can definately achieve and with that said the NFL made the right choice.Guys, this isn't about the NFL wanting Vick to have good or bad numbers. It's not about wanting Vick to get the MVP.It's about making the best decision they can with the information they have. The city was basically shutting down as a major snow storm was upon them. If the game was a dome, it would have been cancelled because the roads are being shut down. There would have been a lot of accidents and people out in unsafe conditions if they would have attempted to play tonight.If I'm meant to win or if you guys are meant to win in FF, then it'll still happen, if not then so be it. Mike Vick and the rest of the players out there on Tuesday will still have to earn their fantasy points just like all the guys did out on the fields today.It'll still probably be cold and snowy on Tuesday night, so it's not like they'll be playing in Honolulu for the game.Supposed to keep snowing till noon tommorrow
As far as from I can tell, the mayor didn't "shut the city down." He was urging people to stay off the roads and to take mass transportation to the game. That doesn't sound like pandemonium. NFL dropped the ball here.
He is a buffoon, but the guy coming in is just as bad..
No snow on the forecast but possibility of strong winds. High 36/low 25.
There sure was a whole lot of hand wringing, crying, and panic alright. Seems to still be going on.
yup..we are losing our ability to handle a little snow- the weathermen love to build it up an djust breed fear.. STAY HOME OR YOU WILL DIE!!!!!
Vikings traveled on Saturday and packed for one night.. Not that they don't have the
to go out and get more clothes. Still the Vikings have to feel like

DON'T SHOVEL SNOW YOU MAY HAVE A HEART ATTACK!!!!!good?If you post a few more times it might change. I'd give it a shot.yup..we are losing our ability to handle a little snow- the weathermen love to build it up an djust breed fear.. STAY HOME OR YOU WILL DIE!!!!!
So presumably the Eagles will hve access to their facilities sometime today and tomorrow for practice, walk-throughs, and injury treatment, while the Vikes will have what access to what, the hotel's universal gym?I hope a bored Brett Favre does not get ahold of a camera phone.Vikings traveled on Saturday and packed for one night.. Not that they don't have theto go out and get more clothes. Still the Vikings have to feel like
Too bad that was taken early, the sun is still out.. The game started at 8PM, and by accounts alot of roads outside Philly were closed. Some areas in Jersey got 2 feet.Just cause 5 mins from the stadium got less, doesn't mean jack. 99% of people coming live far out.
But Phurfur, wait...............
Weather.com lists Philly as receiving 12.2 inches of snow. Ten, twenty years ago, this game is played.Like I said - I guess we handle the white stuff better here in Alabama than those rednecks do in Philly.And as has been noted, welcome to the world of fabricated weather hysteria, created by the media to boost their ratings and egos. We have been dealing with this contrived stuff in The South for years in regards to Tornados.I especially love when they block out a pin location in The Masters with a state icon, because there is a severe T-Storm watch in a single county over a 100 miles away.Fifty years ago, people had less advance "Warning", less technology, and still functioned pretty well.Tom Servo said:Amused to Death said:

Probably a combination of NBC and stadium prep.
Keep us posted....
Due to exclusivity with ESPN and MNF. They can't show another national game. Tonight was never an option. I'm just hoping the NFL doesn't screw the Eagles and make them the Saturday game for the first week of the playoffs.
Stadium prep?? Thought Philly was a tough guy, can do kinda City??I agree on NBC being a fly in the ointment. However, it should be contractually asserted that in such "Severe" and unusual circumstance, that The NFL will make the call on when and where the game is played, for the good of the teams and the League.Playing on a Tuesday night is absurd. And who is to say that maybe the next time, NBC will have a "Survivor" or "American Idol" type finale scheduled, and will want to schedule the game around that?
Vikings and Gaints played on Monday night after the Dome came down (FOX). So did Ravens and Texans. (ESPN)
Were they nationally broadcast?
Well, honestly, if it's not an emergency you're a fool for driving in those conditions, and expecting 60k people to drive in it as well for a football game. Companies close offices when the weather is deemed too dangerous, to expect anything different for a game, is silly.Parrothead said:huh?? ah, yes I HAVE driven the WW bridge in high winds and snow.. there are plenty of bridges in NFL cities.. should we cancel games when the winds are high too???
I heard the Walt Whitman was closed. Not sure if its true or not.Well, honestly, if it's not an emergency you're a fool for driving in those conditions, and expecting 60k people to drive in it as well for a football game.
