“Only weather that matters is Whether THEY want it more than us” awesome freakin line

[MindOfGenius]

There's something cathartic about watching grown professional athletes slide for 10+ yards on a muddy field. Wonderful.

A little history behind the final play of the Ice Bowl, the play wasn't designed as a QB sneak it was supposed to be a handoff to Donny Anderson and they actually tried that play twice already but Anderson kept losing his footing on the field due to the grass being frozen. So Bart Starr went over to Lombardi and suggested doing a sneak since he was closer to the goal line and Lombardi responded with "Then run it and let's get the hell out of here."

Unfortunately, with the increase in modern roofed stadiums, we have less of a chance of seeing weather games. At least we still have Buffalo and Green Bay.

Man when I was a kid, whenever it snowed I would always call my friends and grab a football and we’d play two hand touch in the driving snow, we’d get soaking wet and cold, and mom would always make hot chocolate for us, great times!

I remember the fog bowl game between the Bears and the Eagles. The best part of that game was one of the fans in the end zone carrying a banner saying "Did we win?"

I will never forget the Freezer Bowl. I live in NE Ohio and it was frigid that day. I played football in cold conditions, but I could not believe anyone could play in 59 degree below wind chill. As I watched that game my heart went out to those players and what they were going through. That day was brutal!

[williamowsley]

Snow games are great, but I do love that one field goal attempt in the wind where you can tell the kicker is at trying to hook it left but the ball just starts flying off and ends up going out the right sideline on its way to the locker room. Haha.

I played Rugby for Michigan State in the '80's. The worst conditions I can remember had 3 inches of snow on the field then the temperature rose just enough to give us an icy sleet. About an hour before the game the temp dropped to 15 degrees. It was 3 inches of snow covered with a quarter inch of ice. Everyone was bleeding after that game. Not to mention how much every hit hurts more in the cold.

“We wanted people to blow up the comments prematurely”

Never thought I’d be trolled by the NFL 😂

[imrustyokay]

Wow, the NFL is actually acknowledging the last College All Stars game that was a disaster.

[meredithlyon]

That 1976 Steelers vs College All Stars game is something I'll remember for the rest of my life. I seem to recall hearing (maybe reading in the local newspaper) that one reason for calling the game off was that the water was so deep on the field that there was fear that a tackled player might drown.

[jeremiahgeiger]

Imagine a game being played during the movie “the mist”

[rodmunch]

I'll take 117 degrees in Vegas over 93 degrees in Tampa, any day of the week. The difference is like putting your head in an oven or putting your head over a boiling pot of water. Sure, temp wise the oven is hotter, and both are hot, but the added steaming boiling humidity more than makes up for the temp difference.

This was very well done. I'd give a mention to the 1962 NFL Championship between the Giants and Packers in NY. At 17 degrees F, it wasn't as cold as the games mentioned here, but there were also strong winds, 35-40 MPH. I remember growing up and playing in snow or on a muddy field. It was a lot of fun.

[jfbearsever]

That Jags-Panthers "tsunami bowl" game, I will never forget..

[BgZ]

You forgot to mention about the tuck-!

oh wait...
