Everyone is bitching about the weather in Minnesota. Everyone bitches about everything. It'll be like playing football on that less-than-stellar field you played on when you were a kid and it was 5 degrees out with snow. I understand the safety concerns, but since when does anyone care what a punter thinks? Not like he's gonna get hit to the ground. What's next, a long-snapper telling me his opinions on abortion?
At first I took what he said seriously, but the game is dangerous no matter the weather or field conditions. Solid hits probably won't be as prevalent in this weather since the speed of the guys running is going to be slower. Instead of focusing on the talent on the field (like we/I should have been doing last week with the New England game), everything's been focused on the weather. The Bears are a better team, with or without Favre starting. As I write this, decision is being made on his playing status, but I don't care.
Bears get at least one defensive score today and win 24-14.
Book it...which I did with the Over for the game to win 50. Record of 3-0 for the week so far with GB/NE over easily coming in last night. Overall NFL record now is 36-26.
To my ladies and gents who read this: enjoy your Snow Jobs.
