Well, if everyone is going to be numb, then maybe McNair & George wont feel any of their injuries .................
As a sidenote to the night time start in NE, I have to think that game was chosen by the TV/NFL on purpose. The gametimes are Always for the benefit of TV, folks..................always. The policy of playing one 8 PM game has been in for 3 years now, and each time the big wigs decided to play that game in the northernmost city. Last year they bypassed Tampa to play the night time game in Phil. And remember the NE / OAK game played in a snowstorm a couple of years ago ??
Insiders, reporters have mentioned that a game in a blizzard of rain or snow or with any severe weather conditions attracts a lot more curious eyes.........which bolsters ratings. Makes sense to me.
I mean, why would they care about a few freezing fans ? And if this gives more of an edge to NE, great. The TV market is much larger for them than TENN. for next week's game.
As for me, I will spend the day in balmy South Fla., probably with a visit to Gulfstream Racetrack to enjoy the beautiful weather.................and the even more beautiful horses. Last week I got to within 5-10 feet of Cajun Beat. Absolutely gorgeous animal.
