I live in Central Mass. It's 4 degrees here right now. I just went outside in sneakers, jeans and a t-shirt to help my wife bring in groceries. Uugh it's COLD!! I ran up the steps to get back inside
Once you're moving in the cold and generating some internal btu's, it's not so bad, even enjoyable to be doing physical labor. But that first play of a series of downs has GOT to be absolutely WICKED to both teams. You gotta feel for any fullback being asked to pound the ball up the middle on 1st and 10.
And kicking, passing and catching has GOT to be twice as difficult even when completely warmed up.
I'm sure the game is sold out, and I salute the teams and the fans for their dogged determination. But I'll DEFINITELY be enjoying this one from the warmth and comfort of my living room couch
