Here’s the deal.

The players arrive a week before the game. The media arrives a week before the game.

Unless a storm wipes out power, 99.9% of the normal Super Bowl audience can still watch the game in case of a snow storm.

But hey, I visited the rumor page and left a comment – two page hits!

He may want to reconsider his thoughts about an asteroid strike since a meteor just recently flattened an impressive quantity of Russian real estate.

Why doesn’t the nfl schedule the game for Saturday night instead of Sunday and if the jinx causes a delay, they have an option to move the game to Sunday… There is two weeks between the chmpsp games and the sb, one less day won’t hurt, but moving the game to Monday night would be an issue for a lot of folks…

I’ll be rooting for the blizzard I will be hoping for 40in of snow over a 4 day period followed by weeks of zero and below temps. with nobody able to negotiate northeast Jersey. It will be justice for the idiots that have assigned this or any cold weather site a super bowl. It’s February for gosh sakes.

I think too much is being made out of this. It’s football. A game that is meant to be played in the elements. I could care less about the rich extended pinky finger crowd attending the game. If it snows, it will make for better television.

The weather issue is not about the players or the field conditions . It is about the ability for everyone to get to and from the game and all the extracurricular crap they put on. Conference championship games have not been an issue. It is the super bowl spectacle that may be problematic.

Despite Papa Florio’s best efforts, things went south.

If the groundhog freezes his balls off, there will be six more weeks of winter.

I know we’re in a lull before the combine-but this was pointless.

The 99% of us who aren’t corporate jags, or media members who complain every time they can’t get a dinner expensed, are really excited for an open air Super Bowl.

If there is snowfall, it’ll make for great TV and a unique game. Sorry you might have to be minorly inconvenienced for a few days on vacation while covering the world’s biggest and best event. Will try not to shed to many tears for you.

The best scenario would be the Arizona Cardinals playing the Miami Dolphins in the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium. In a snowstorm in 20 degree weather .
That would be legendary!

Could we keep this site for like, actual news, or maybe even actual rumors? there was nothing of substance in this story. this was like one of those personal musings that people post on a private blog that nobody really cares about. or maybe a facebook update for your family and friends. I know the offseason is slow and all, but c’mon Florio, can you at least keep your musings in a seperate section of the site? Florio’s Soapbox or something?
