Some Philadelphia Eagles fans, including the most important one in the state of Pennsylvania, are incensed that the team's game against the Minnesota Vikings was postponed for a blizzard that didn't pack as much of a wallop as expected on Sunday night.
Governor Ed Rendell joined countless fans upset about the game's move to Tuesday when he told FOX News:
"It's an absolute joke. I was looking forward to this. It would have been a real experience. This is what football is all about. We're becoming a nation of wussies."
Forecasters had called for a blizzard to hit during the game and for up to 18 inches of snow to fall in the City of Brotherly Love. But the center of the storm tracked east of the city and by the time the game would have been over, there was only about seven or eight inches on the ground. In those conditions, the game could have been played.

Ya know who the real wussies are ???????? Baseball players. just let it look like rain and they quit playing. Those that get paid millions to play a game should do so even if they are playing during a hurricane. Those that are true fans will give a right arm or leg to be there.

That might prove to be interesting trying to throw the ball over the plate in 150 mph winds.

That depends on which way the wind blows. It might make for a fast pitch or a slow swing. you can never tell.

Or maybe a curve ball that uses the entire infield.

I agree with your "wimpy generations" critique. STILL,......as a Texan, I will march around in 103 degrees in the sun if necessary,.....but I am NOT going out into anything that looks like that shit unless I have to save grandmother or deliver a baby ! No way. Count me out.

That would be a blast. Last time I ran it,...the "lucides" ( transparent fleshed techno-fascist-Devil worshiping Nehwon ghouls with gauss weapons and nerve gass ) had reanimated all the totally frozen dead giants left over from years before and the adventurers had to fight off both the Fascists AND the low AC brain eaters !!!
sigh. good times.
