All things sporting [2]

They only cleared the snow along the major yard lines so that measurements could be made. It would have taken too long to try to clear the entire field.

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

There you display your innocence Eldo- its not necessary for fans of true football to be at the game in order to support their team through unbelievable violent fervour- a street will do, a pub, anywhere frankly  

Talking of violence and football... Southend (my local team) have Millwall in the FA Cup. That usually ends up in a fight somewhere.

Remember a while back I mentioned playing NFL fantasy league with some of the lads from work? Now guess who's in the final this week.

 GO ME!  

Congrats, Amarie!

I'm guessing you didn't draft Romo.

Should I take that to mean you're one of those people who sit up all night and watch the Superbowl on NRK, Amarië?

Spurs manager gets the sack.

 

I didn't watch much football this past weekend so I only just now saw this GIF.

perfect

Apparently they're making contingency plans to possibly reschedule the Super Bowl in the event of winter weather. I want a snowy Super Bowl, dammit!

That would be entertaining! But they wouldn't have these problems if all stadiums had retractable roofs.

i agree Eldo! so much more fun

Yeah, plus this is the first time the Super Bowl ever been held in an outdoor stadium that wasn't in the subtropical Sun Belt region. I was so excited.

Strangely Eldo, the things those gifs remind me of is football (soccer) matches played in Tromsø around mid automn when it isn't snowing anywhere else in the country but there. So every now and then you'll get a football (soccer) match played in a blizzard coming on television while the sun is shining outside.



Sorry to hear about the Superbowl.

Congrats, Amarie! {{{In my fantasy, we both win}}}.

 

I think this is the most impressed I've been by a shovel pass.

#GoChiefs

Cause she won her fantasy league.

Also, the Chiefs are dominating the Colts so far.
