        That doesn't really bother me. The two wildcards will be high quality teams, and one of them will be rewarded with a game against the West (hopefully the Rams).

          Collapsed roof forces Vikings/GMen elsewhere

          According to multiple reports, the GIants/Vikings will not be able to play in the Metrodome until Wednesday at the earliest after the Stadium's roof collapsed early Sunday morning. Multiple alternative stadiums are being considered, including Indianapolis' Lucas Oil Stadium, Detroit's Ford Field, and University of Minnesota's new TCF Bank stadium.

          The NFL will try to find a new venue so the game can still be played Monday night, but they've yet to announce any official plans.

          • The Teflon-coated fiberglass roof on what is now known as Mall of America Field collapsed under the weight of 17-plus inches of snow between 4 and 5 a.m.. According to reports, there were "several tears" in the roof and snow on the field before it collapsed.

            The Giants, meanwhile, were on hold in Kansas City, where they had been stranded since their charter flight to Minneapolis was diverted Saturday afternoon because of the blizzard that was socking Minnesota. They had tentative plans to fly from Kansas City Sunday morning at 11 a.m. Central Time. Asked if those plans are still on, a Giants spokesman said, "Stay tuned."

            • Double wow... the other being the Giants may be stuck in KC - has an NFL game, since the SuperBowl, ever been canceled/postponed because one team couldn't make it?

                    • Ryan Torain ran for 121 yards in the first quarter.

                      Wasn't it around this time last year when Jerome Harrison came close to breaking the single game rushing record?

                      I'd hate to be able to say, "yeah. I had Ryan Torain on my fantasy team when he did that. He was on my bench"

                      • Aaron Rodgers out the rest of the game due to concussion (legal hit on a scramble, he didn't slide, and his head hit the turf hard when he went down). 0-0 at the half, 2 turnovers each side.

                            On another board I read someone pointed out that you can barely see someone getting the hell out of there (go full screen). About 9s in, there's movement on the far sideline.

                              Yeah, well, there are occasional updates on other games.

                              • HOLY CRAP! Did you see what happened with the Redskins on the game-tying extra point with 9 seconds to go?
