Huh? The Vikings don't even play the Eagles this year.....


And as to the story you read that's not at all a confirmation or what it says:

Quote:

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that the league is working with the Bills to determine the viability of Ralph Wilson Stadium -- which, like the rest of the region, is under a thick blanket of snow. A Bills spokesman told Rapoport that the team is "working on snow removal and (the) plan is to still (play) at Sunday at 1 (p.m. ET), and that "if that were to change, it would be the league's call." Rapoport added that there is a driving ban, so there are currently no players at the stadium. Rapoport also contacted a league official, who said there is no specific timeline in place, and the league will make a decision based on input from the team and local authorities. The Bills and Jets must know by Friday if the game can be played as scheduled before making a call on a contingency plan, Rapoport reported, per a league source.

All that says is they are trying to get it in but no one knows yet but a decision must be made by Friday.

Plenty of teams have offered $10 or more to clear the stands, but I don't really remember having to clear that much from the field.

Its not going to start even melting until Saturday. If people can't get out of their homes, then it will be tough to have the game there. If players can't make it to practice, then they shouldn't use resources unless the owner pays for it. If the players are available, then they need to think about moving the game to another city. Its a division game, so I'm sure that would be the last resort.

Its was on the NFL main page. I guess they'll repost it between now and Sunday.

The quote I posted was from the story on the main page of NFL.com.


They want to play on Sunday, that's their goal and they still might. But nothing from that story says it's a guarantee.

I wonder what channel it would be on if its a Tuesday?

Another thing you read, didn't provide a link for, and it was magically removed when someone called you out on it. You're really on thin ice.

Like I said, we'll see.

Here's the link he's talking about, clearly the title is a bit misleading but actually reading the story goes a long way.
