re: VIDEOs-Super Bowl XLVIII-Seahawks Beat Broncos 8-43
Inside the vast majority of football fans, there exists a devilish little imp who desperately wants it to snow on Super Bowl Sunday.
A lot.
Make no mistake, that isn't what the NFL wants. The league has spent millions on contingency plans related to the weather.
There are plans in place to move the game anywhere from Friday, January 31 to Monday, February 3 if need be.
As the Sports XChange points out (via The Chicago Tribune), the league spent thousands more treating the recent snowstorm that hit the area as a "dress rehearsal" for clearing snow from the Meadowlands if the weather turns white.
However, actually moving the game would cost untold more millions, so unless the Snowpacolypse hits the show will most likely go on.
In that case, let's have some snow!
This is a one-shot opportunity for fans. We're not going to see another cold-weather Super Bowl like this any time soon.
With wind not a huge factor, a few inches of snow during the game isn't going to ruin anything. A few players may slip and slide a bit, which could lead to a big play or two.
Fans like big plays. Fans like snow.
And fans will love Super Bowl XLVIII if it features both.
The only thing better would be if a polar bear and/or yeti would spare us all from the Bruno Mars halftime spectacular.
Prediction: 26 degrees at gametime. 10 MPH winds. Light snow falling throughout the game.
