Anyone who watched any of the NFL action this past Sunday definitely felt like doing so in front of a roaring fire. After watching teams and fans brave whiteouts and swirling winds in stadiums north of the Mason-Dixon line, I couldn’t help but feel like weather is as much a part of the game as anything else. As a sidenote, the coldest I’ve ever been in my entire life was at a football game. When the Bears were playing in Champaign, my dad scored some Eagles/Bears tickets and it was rainy and windy and about 22 degrees and had it not been for the fact that we were at the very top of the stadium, which allowed us to stand for most of the game, we surely would have become hypothermic. I found some awesome photos on NFL.com from this weekend’s wintery action.
