Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles playing in a blizzard

On Fox now. Crazy.

It looks worse in Pittsburgh.

Edit:

Sorry, wrong comparison. Fox here is showing GB v. Atlanta.

Fun to watch. The punts are just ending up in a mound of snow and don't get returned.
Feels like watching in slow motion. Speaking of slo-mo, those replays look pretty cool!

Pre-game shot, and it's only worse now.

Ah, yes, I should have realized it's regional coverage.

The snow has let up quite a bit but is still coming down.

Same for Vikings in Baltimore. They keep trying to clear the field of snow during breaks. Looks like a lot more snow in Baltimore than in Washington. Adrian Peterson out injured.

Those are Vikings games of my youth. Now all we need is my uncle Richard screaming across the table at the top of his lungs GO! GO! GO! GO! whenever Fran would complete a pass. Which frankly wasn't that often.

Yes, it's reminiscent of the good ol days at Met Stadium when men were men, but now all I can think about is how dangerous it must be to play in these conditions.

Here's to all the uncle Richards in our past. -D

Edit: snow looks the worst in Philly

Funny thing is that I'm about 20 miles Northwest of the Eagle's stadium and have less than 2 inches of snow.

[Uncle Wig]

As much as I dislike the NFL, I've gotta hand it to 'em for playing in inclement weather!
