Their Faustian powers apparently ended last year.
Their Sunday night game vs. Philly has been postponed due to snow.

You could also argue this gives the Queens a chance to go back to Brent...but what for, at this point? Season's over, so why not start Joe Webb or whoever that is, and see what he can do?
Yep, last year was the Vikings' best shot at the SB, and they fell short. Or at least it would seem they're going to have to do some rebuilding.

What a fuckin' disgrace, postponing a football game b/c of snow. Shit, I attended the '85 Snow Bowl game and I had a back wheel drive Grand Prix that wasn't exactly great in snow. I was willing to risk my health & safety to attend the game but now we have pussy league that can't even play b/c it's too snowy. Wah fuckin' wah.
Football was built on mud, snow, and overcoming whatever element there was.
Rename it the National Pussy League and get it over with. Fuckin' NPL.

Update from Philadelphia: It's still snowing, it's pretty cold, and the wind is blowing slightly.
Oh the horror! Better to postpone the game, we don't want any one slightly uncomfortable!

In lieu of the game, NBC plans to show "It's a Wonderful Life" for the third time during this Holiday season.

They want the fans to be safe, so Jay Glazer says.
Fuck that. It's more dangerous to be a fan in a stadium in Philly than it is to be on the roads outside that stadium.

Eh, game was postponed because there was over 100 accidents several hours befor ethe game adn the storm wasn't stopping anytime soon. It didn't get postponed for player saftey, it got postponed for fan safety. The league was worried about the thousands of people driving to and away from the stadium, not the game being played or the field conditions. This was actually a move done to protect fans, not the players.
At least, that is what the official reasoning reports as. Chances are if it was a playoff game, it would of still got played, but since it's regular season and there is still time to get back to a regular schedule pre playoffs, they decided they could afford to hold it off.

Just proves that Philly is a town full of pussies. Put on some Nordic boards, fire up the skidoo...take the subway for fucks sake. This sets a bad precedent.

What a disgrace. Didn't only end up snowing about 5-8 inches through Sunday night? Wusses! I'm off the Goodell bandwagon.

Cris Collinsworth had an article today about the possible increased liability for future games after canceling this one. The logic goes like this: if there's a bad weather game and they don't cancel it, someone gets into an accident and dies on the way to the stadium, they say that they canceled the game in Philly when the weather wasn't as bad as when this accident occurred, so therefore not canceling this game was gross negligence on the part of the NFL. I realize that it's just speculation on his part, but someone please tell me that fans can take responsibility for getting themselves safely to football games and that if they can't, they'll just stay home rather than suing the stupid NFL about it. I don't want to see them canceling games every freaking time it snows.

If Detroit beats them on Sunday, Detroit finishes third in the NFC north and the Vikings finish last, I believe, Go LIONS!!!

I will be at that game. Anybody know if there's any chance that Brent will start for the Queens? I hope so - I do believe he will truly be retired, done, over, after this season - I think it's been proven to him that he can't hold up any more, plus the streak is over. So I'd like to see the old man start one more - and throw a few interceptions for old times' sake.

One last pick six.
A beautiful thing that would be.

Failed a concussion test. Cost me $1. I bet a guy I know (minnesota native) that BF would average 1.5 picks a game this year (before he reported to camp). 24 if he played the 16. I was way ahead before he threw a total of 8 passes in 2 games, and now I lose by 1/2 a pick. What bullshit...even in proving me right about him he found a way to cost me money.
