A Snowy October

Today I watched the New England Patriots whoop up on the Tennessee Titans 59-0. 59-0! But that is something to talk about at a later date. What I was really intrigued with was the fact that in Boston, Massachusetts, where the Patriots play, was covered in snow today. Snow already? It's only October.

Now don't get me wrong, I love watching snow football. All the turnovers and the leanience on the ground game. It makes for a very interesting contest. As much as I love these kind of games, I can't imagine a football season where half of the season's games could be potentially played in the snow! Wow, this global warming is ridiculous! Jokes aside, this weather has set up for the possiblity of a lot more running and not as much passing in these games, which could potentially change the outcome of a game. With all the snow, Tom Brady and the Patriots still put up ridiculous numbers through the air, I was very happy that because of Welker's 2 touchdowns and 150 yards. But they are the Patriots and they were playing the terrible Tennessee Titans. I'm afraid other teams won't be so lucky through the air if this kind of weather continues in the North and the Northeast.

I know I'm kind of jumping to conclusions pretty quickly. I mean, it was just one weekend, and Mother Nature can be kind of weird sometimes. Just ask us Iowans. We had a few days during the summer when we had to wear jackets! JACKETS IN THE SUMMER!!!

I don't think the snow will stay for long, and will come back around November. But, in case it does, I'm just throwing out ideas of how I think it would affect this National Football League season. Anyways, this weather doesn't really affect us Viking fans as our Vikes play in a dome, where weather is never a factor. But that doesn't mean the Vikings won't be affected at all by this weather. They do have away games, and they play in the NFC North once a year at the Packers at Lambeau Field, the frozen tundra, and at the Bears at Soldier Field in the chilly city of Chicago. The Lions play in a dome so the weather is not a factor there either.

I'm just begging you Mother Nature. Please save the snow for November.
