More Minnesota woes

Favre did that to buy some time so he could keep his starting streak intact.

 

I hate to high five that cause of Favre..but just too good Bi..too good..

 

Brett Favre says he wouldn't have played today, but I think that's only because he doesn't have to play today. God wants that streak to continue, and so does Favre.

On another note; wasn't it a bridge in MN that also collapse just a few years ago? They might want to hire better engineers up that way.

 

The fact that the roof is inflateable does't help its cause.

 

With me in 1st place in my FF league, and with Hakeem Nicks, Migraine Man, and the Giants D in my potential lineup, this news made for quite the active morning (all that plus shoveling the driveway in the 50 mph breeze up here) this morning.

Congrats for Lion fans though....they will actually have the chance to see two NFL teams play for once. I have heard that tickets will be given away, that fans coming from Minnesota with a game ticket will get preferential seating around the 50s, and that other tickets will be on first come, first serve basis.

I would have hated to be in the stadium when the roof gave way...it is a huge rip around the 50 yard line.

 

I was thinking this sounds awful similar to the "rain-out" in Bull Durham.

 

Not in Minneapolis....

Believe me, this storm was vicious. The snow was very wet (very heavy) when it came,totaled 15 inches, then after it fell the winds picked up to 50+ mph and temperature fell to negative numbers. There may have been some snow melting at at the membrane itself, but the temperature drop kept it from substantially melting.

My guess is that the combination of the weight of the snow + the wind caused the breach.
