Irresponsible not to cancel the Pats/Jets game today?
Maybe it's where I happen to be but I can't see past my outstretched arm and the snow is coming down sideways. Here in NH they are telling people to stay off the roads. Why would you encourage people to get on the road to go to this football game? I predict a huge traffic mess around Foxboro today and possibly some casualties.

I guess it's the almighty dollar teamed up with some really crazy football fans!

Your thoughts?

1. When the almight y dollar and good sense compete, the dollar always wins.
It is the unwritten history of our land.

2. It's a bit unfair to the folks who bet on New England and gave the points
If the conditions are the way you describe them there's no way they'll win by 23

4. It's not a question of slippery balls
Bad weather means that the receivers won't be able to run as fast and the entire passing game will be thrown off.

There's no way that New England will be able to score their usual 40 points in these conditions.

Or course, there's a slight possibility which is why I waited until the game was almost over before posting this brilliant football analysis.

I haven't watched a minute of it. My affiliate is showing the Steelers game.

I checked the score and i thought it said 20-16... now it says 20-10. What's the deal??
