Has this ever happened before, the NFL is going to be playing most of it's games on Saturday Christmas Eve and then three games on Sunday Christmas Day, this is a bit weird. I like it though, we get football the entire weekend!

    NO Saints vs. Cleveland might be good, the forecast right now is for a temp. in the low teens with snow and winds of about 25mph. That might mean advantage Browns with the running game and the fans will all be juiced up trying to stay warm!! :p

    Spoil sport!

    I remember an American Football league game, in the mid 1960s,, between New England and Buffalo that was played during a big snow storm in Buffalo. This was before there were any heating coils under the turf. All of the yard markers were covered with snow. About the only thing you could see on the field was the goal posts. Players slipping and sliding on every play. I think there was one touchdown in the game that won it.

    Of course there was the New England-Oakland play-off game in the middle of a blizzard when Tom Brady was beginning his career. And who could forget the little snowplow incident when New England cleared off a little spot to help their kicker make a field goal to beat Miami? The late Don Shula was beyond pissed.

    Should be an interesting game Saturday, Saints vs. Browns with conditions which almost ensure a minimal passing attack from either side. Latest forecast has temps. starting to drop early Friday morning and reaching single digits by Friday evening, rain turning to snow and high winds, steady at 25mph and gusting to 50mph. There's currently a "boating warning" out right now that calls for waves from 10-20 feet in Eastern Lake Erie.
