Airports up and down the East Coast are shutting down ahead of the snow and ice, meaning the Arizona Cardinals are at risk of missing crucial practice time at the Carolina Panthers' stadium before the National Football Conference Championship game Sunday evening.

As for the team, it had been scheduled to fly from Sky Harbor International Airport to North Carolina today, but flights to Charlotte were reported canceled Thursday night.

Winter Storm Jonas is expected to start dumping snow on much of the mid-Atlantic today, although Charlotte's biggest problem is predicted to be icy conditions. A winter storm advisory is in effect for the area from Thursday night through Saturday evening, and North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory has declared a state of emergency ahead of the frigid weather.

But fear not, declares the Cardinals' website: it vows that he team now will fly out of Phoenix Saturday morning after the "Big Red Send-Off," a giant morning party at Sky Harbor.

I'm sure they'll continue to deny that any changes were made. But then why is the  send-off Breaking News?

By the comments on their website after the rally article, seems Cardinal fans are surprised they aren't here yet.

Disrupted schedule, shot field, cold weather... this game is being served up to the team on a silver platter in almost every element we can't control.  Team really needs to make Palmer feel the impact of the cold, hard ground.  

 

I'll say this if we lose it means the Cardinals were much, much better than us because their style of play is going to be seriously hampered by conditions that heavily play into our style of play

Cool, just another reason to add to the list of reasons why the other team didn't win.

HFA gotta love it oh and making snow angles in the position of carson when he gets sacked.

[Chaos]

Let the excuses pile up before the game even kicks off.

[CatMan72]

We're gonna pound them. 

[Ship]

we will win this game if we can get palmer on the ground.

Another hint about their plan to leave Friday. Their pep rally was on Thursday.

Yeah but I don't care what reasons they come up with just as long as we win the Super Bowl.  Their excuses mean diddly squat.
