Getting Ready For The Ice Bowl
Monday, January 14, 2008 Filed in: Media
The New York Giants and Eli Mannings screwed up my
weekend. Again. Dumping the Cowboys means hello Ice
Bowl.
Is there any other kind of weather in Green Bay this time of year? Why did the Cowboys allow Tony Romo to date during the season?
The Giants beat the Cowboys after three tries and that got them a roundtrip ticket to play the Packers in Superman's Fortress of Solitude, which doubles as Lambeau Field during football season.
I suspect that Packers quarterback Bret Favre slept all night with a giant smile stuck to his face, knowing that the Giants will wish they had a first round draft pick by the time the game ends.
For what it's worth, I don't mind watching football as it is played in Green Bay so long as the play is in October, and not January.
Did you see last week's game? It was obviously sponsored by Honda and Toro, both of which build snow blowers. Demo models helped keep the ice and snow bound field in Green Bay free of the debris of players.
White on white on white mixed with gray does not make for an attractive way to enjoy a widescreen LCD television with Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. Snowflakes are noisy critters.
The way I see it is this-- snow should be seen on the weather channel and CNN, neither of which get much air time with me. Snow should not be seen during an important football game, it messes with the instant replay.
Still, I'm ready with salty chips and chilly drinks. The Packers are ready to demolish the Giants and make it to the Super Bowl one more time, for one last hurrah for Bret Favre. True, I want New England to demolish the Packers, if anything, just to tell people in Wisconsin that there is a better place to play football.
Update - Damn. The Pack isn't back after all. Jets and Pats in the Super Bowl.
