[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 346359, member: 2318"] I kinda like games played in dramatic weather. Always have. I think it's because rules changes that favor passing offenses have led to higher-scoring, slick, move-those-yardsticks, ultimately tiresome contests. Past defensive responses to this strategy would now draw penalties. No need for fans to understand what's going on. Or sports reporters, it seems. Teams no longer carry a bruising fullback who could gain 2 yards against the Statue of Liberty. I thought those guys were terrific. Now it's execution, timing patterns and back-shoulder passes. And receivers go waawaawaa to the ref if a defender puts a hand on them. But lousy weather treats everyone lousy. And if the new "fans" can't handle it, possibly the game is too much for the poor dears. [/QUOTE]
