All things sporting [2]

Thank god for the pass interference call or it would have been over.

That's what I'm thinking too. The field's really cleared off too.

Yeah, it looks like it's raining now, which I'm sure is helping make the snow melt.

Four seconds left, still time for one more score change! Assuming this score holds up on review.

It's over.

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous NFL endings since the Heidi game.

That was almost as bad as actually having to watch American Football!

Had never heard of that!

We remembered how to tackle in the very end!

Good game by the Vikings, though! Well, except for defense (either defense).

It was crazy. We have a ton of people over for my stepmom's birthday and the alternate cheers and boos were equally deafening.

It was an exciting finish.

Ravens touchdown at 2:07
Vikings touchdown at 1:45
Ravens touchdown at 1:27
Vikings touchdown at 1:01
Ravens touchdown at 0:09

Insane.

1 2 3 4 5

5 touchdowns! Ah-a-a-a-a-a!

Some GIFs from the Vikings/Ravens game yesterday.

Was it played in Fjordianlands?

Bizarrely, it was played in Baltimore. The whole Mid-Atlantic region got hit with snow this weekend.

I did hear that Adrian Peterson tweeted that some of the Ravens fans were kind of jerks, throwing snowballs at the vikes on the sidelines and such.   

I heard about that too. It's a shame if true. The fans at M&T Bank Stadium have always been very behaved on the occasions I've been there -- much more behaved than Redskins fans in DC, although I was there during a Dallas game. Throwing snowballs at players (or other fans for that matter) is a douche move from anyone, though.

Yeah, football is supposed to be fun, but some people take it too seriously or too far, getting personal and everything. Although, looking again at that gif of the guy plowing the field, I am starting to think that it would be fun to watch a snowball fight break about between the two teams.

That would be hilarious to watch. It's a shame it didn't snow during either Ravens-Steelers game this year; that would have been a snowball fight for the ages.

Really? You are complaining that some fans threw snowballs?

  

why are they trying to remove it ? it's way more fun with the snow.

Really? You are complaining that some fans threw snowballs?- Lance

It does seem rather quaint doesnt it Lance?

Makes me wonder how the US would deal with proper football fans for whom football is not about life and death as is much more important than that.

We have to treasure the one area where we can legitimately claim to be more civilized than Europeans.

I imagine they'd be banned from games pretty quickly.
