Bunch of warm-weather-lovin ninnies in this thread.

You got me. When I'm outdoors at a sporting event, I'd rather be in nice weather than crappy weather. I'm just crazy like that.

the NFL couldn't give two shits about the fans and their opinion of the SuperBowl.


preseason and weeks 1 - 17, Wild Card Weekend, Divisional Weekend and even Conference Championship weekend is for you the fan

Superbowl weekend is all about the corporations

The Pro Bowl should definitely be played only in cold weather areas. Since they're not going to play football anyway we could at least see an awesome display of large men standing around in the snow.

The incessant whining about cold weather and dampness in the media would also add to the entertainment.

He should have just said that watching a game played in a dome or warm weather climate is far more exciting than watching teams struggle to score because it's snowing and you can barely see the field.

Well this might and could be true .... one of the best and greatest football game of all time that I ever watched was the AFC Championship game between New England and Oakland when they played in a snowstorm.

And the corporation ceo's don't like being in the cold either.

Fwiw, its also about the tv ratings.

[Hawk]

yup...but the tv ratings are independant of where the game is played

[scarface]

He's right, cold weather like totally sucks.

It'll probably go under the radar with SI's Ray Lewis / Swats story going on now. I know that Lewis is denying that he has contacted or talked with SWATS. However he did tell SI that he talked with them and ordered the normal stuff from Swats... Stickers and such. lmao ....

When asked by SI whether he had talked to Ross, Lewis replied, "I told him to send me some more of the regular stuff, the SWATS, the stickers or whatever." Asked by the magazine whether what he was sent helped, Lewis replied: "I think a lot of things helped me."

Its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

You should heed your own advice.

It is retarded.

[mmmbeans]

so happy about a cold-weather superbowl. I'd love to see one in lambeau.

Leave it to ESPN to try and piss on Ray's parade this week..SMDH.

[Frash Brastard]

ok what's the cutoff age between people who don't care about this and the ones who want every superbowl to be held in an open air stadium north of the 38th parallel because of their obsession with decades old football that they used to watch before everything started aching

ESPN is just quoting an article from the upcoming SI issue, that has quotes from Ray Lewis in it. He can't deny it to one place and say something else to another and expect to keep integrity. I mean he told SI for the article that he did indeed order from SWATS, at least according to the SI article.

Superbowl should NOT only be given to dome teams. weather impacts who gets to the Superbowl.....dumb logic to then rule it out for the last game
