Rams claim Titus Young off waivers. Have fun with that!

Titus Young and Austin Pettis on the same team again? Now all the Rams need is Kellen Moore. B)

I'd really hate to lose Moore, too. Accurate, composed, and his height makes it a bear for linemen to bat passes down. Good news, though, rams80 -- Titus is better than Calvin Johnson. You got yourself a bargain!

Danny Amendola and Chris Givens are our best wideouts. In other words, a hobbit and a 4th rounder from Wake Forest are our best wideouts. The upgrade threshold isn't that high.

Is he tall? That's really all that matters at this point.

Ha! Nope. He's 5'10" at the most.

That ego gives him another 6", so the Rams are probably fine. Just don't expect the right routes or timely catches, and you'll like him just fine :)

He's better than Calvin Johnson! Huge upgrade for the Rams.

That just means he needs to go to Austin Pettis' apothecary. He owes us one after the suspension.

The Eagles hired another ex-Brown coach, getting ex-Cards/49ers DC Billy Davis to be their new DC. Sounds like they couldn't get Donatell, Grantham or Smart and ended up with plan D/E/F. This team is gonna be lucky to win 6 games

The NFL has reinstated Gregg Williams and the Titans have hired him as a defensive assistant coach.

I look forward to the Bills hiring him as their head coach in 2013.

So imagine if this were Super Bowl weekend next year with this impending blizzard. Could be a complete cluster you know what...

It could also be 50 degrees for all we know, and I understand they've held Super Bowls in cold weather cities--Minneapolis, Detroit, Indy (I'm talking about all the logistics of people flying in, hotels, travel to the stadium itself, all the other events, etc.) and really only the one at the Silverdome and Georgia Dome in that freak ice storm were problematic. Even Dallas a couple of years ago was somewhat OK by the weekend.

That being said, with all the events and travel and booking I really wonder what the NFL's contingency plan would be.

That 7-day forecast come the end of January 2014 is going to be mighty interesting...

Agreed. Logistics aside, there's also the possibility of one team having a competitive advantage if it's a Southern or dome team vs. one that plays outside in the elements. Let me acknowledge the "they should be able to play in any weather" proponents now; that's true, but regardless, the fact remains that an outdoor cold-weather team would have an advantage in wintery conditions. Same could even be true with two teams not accustomed to winter weather if one's a grind-it-out running team and the other relies primarily on the passing game.

I only bring this up b/c it's what they're talking about on the radio here this AM, basically because a) it's a slow sports news day and B) it's all anyone is talking about up here period anyway.

One of the other issues they brought up, say last year in Indy they got a bunch of snow, supposedly the large majority of people could have walked to or been close enough that they would've been the first streets cleared to the stadium that it may not have been an issue to the majority (not all of course) people who were in for the game.

Here though, it's out in the suburbs. There's only a couple of hotels near the Meadowlands, and they're not nice ones. There's such a reliance on mass transit (there's a new rail line to the stadium which opened a couple of years back) and even without that there's so many highways and roads that would need to be dealt with. It's not in a central location within a city or anything like that.

It'll probably be a non-issue. Yeah it snows here, but there's far more non-snowy days than ones that do snow. But you never know...

As for the actual game itself, I would bet the NFL would actually WANT it to snow in the "coating to one inch" range just so it looks awesome on TV without any problems. I also wonder if regardless of any other plans if they would consider holding the halftime show next door at the Izod Center and fill that with 20,000 people with the game on the jumbotron there for those folks?

I kinda hope it blizzards and the game is a total disaster where a cold weather underdog beats a high scoring dome team specifically because of the weather so we never have to do another outdoor cold weather super bowl again.

I wouldn't mind this at all. I've played in enough games in horrible weather to know that it absolutely impacts who can win the game. One game we should have lost by a score or two and ended up winning in overtime. Then one game senior year we should have rolled over the team, but ended up losing 7-0 because it was so muddy that nobody could move. Bad weather games are cool to watch and all, but they have no business possibly having an impact on who wins the Super Bowl. Imagine how fun it will be to watch every play be a two yard run because nobody can get good footing and the offensive and defensive line stalemate on every single play. This is a disaster waiting to happen, but the NFL will probably go with it until the disaster happens.

Snow is one thing. As far as the temperature, so long as you're not at the game, does it really matter? If it's 35 or 20 or 50 degrees, what's the difference?

Well it matters to the people at the game. Going to the Super Bowl is an experience in and of itself. If it's freezing, and people there are having a less then stellar time, then it will definitely impact whether or not there's another open air cold weather Super Bowl.

It wasn't even cold the year Jacksonville got it, just nippy. They were still Super Bowl blacklisted though.

My biggest wish is that the Super Bowl next season is during the coldest, snowiest storm that the NYC area has ever seen and the game is between like the Bucs and Dolphins/Chargers. I'm calling a final score of 4-2 if that happens.

Lack of hotel space, not weather. Weather isn't even an iota of a factor on why they wont get it the next 20 years.
