MY DAUGHTERS DO NOT LIKE FOOTBALL: Indeed, to ask them to surrender two minutes on a Sunday afternoon so that Dad can catch an update via NFL Red Zone constitutes one of the bigger asks I can make of them. "Do we have to? This is boring," is Lucy's typical response. But offer them a glimpse of football in the snow, and you'd have thought I had unearthed some special Yo Gabba Gabba! with Luke Skywalker as the Dancey Dance guest. (Lucy's not old enough yet to realize Han > Luke.)
But kids get the Playing In The Snow Is Awesome. Look: it sucks for the fans at the stadium -- winning or losing. On tv, however? I am a bit more geeked out for Super Bowl: Meadowlands after yesterday's Patriots-Bears game.
P.S. So why are the Patriots so good in the snow, year after year?
P.P.S. DeSean didn't deserve that penalty. He hadn't scored yet.
P.P.P.S. No, I can't stop watching the Metrodome roof collapse video.
