It keeps getting weirder for the Vikings...

[denverYooper]

Their Faustian powers apparently ended last year.

Their Sunday night game vs. Philly has been postponed due to snow.

Fuck rodger Godell

moving a game because of snow? i was really looking forward to a snow game. those are my favorites

i once drove 2 hours in freezing rain to get to a packer game

this asshole is running the nfl right into the ground IMO

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.

Good point. Should they have postponed the ice bowl?

exactly.

if goddell was in charge back then, one of the most famous games in NFL history would have never happened

[VegasPackFan]

Totaly pathetic - and the Vikings to boot! They should ban all domes so these pussys will get a life and go play some football. I have played in far worse conditions in pick-up games over the years and that was for no pay! CMON YOU PUSSY'S!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah...and why didn't Bart Starr slide??

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.

If you call mid twenties pretty cold.

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.

Wah fuckin' wah.

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.
