Army-Navy:

Low scoring tough contest
Snow
QB sneak from the 1 to go ahead
Only 3 passes attempted all game
Long FG attempt for the win comes damn close
Army wins the CinC trophy for the first time in over 20 years
Plus all the things that always make it a great game anyway

Hell yeah

Guess who came back in to play some more football after sitting out for only two plays?

This guy!

Fuck the NFL and their "doctors" on the sideline doing "concussion protocols".

I don't care if they took him out later, the fact that he even got back onto the field that game is disgraceful.

That Buffalo/Indy game was the craziest snow bowl game I've ever seen.

- They mentioned during the CBS broadcast that if a player got injured, they would NOT be able to be carted off the field as the cart would get stuck in the snow.

- "That is the only angle we can show you where there is any visibility."

- Punts are kind of interesting...

- "Where is the end zone line? Where is ANY sort of line?"

- Shady loves him some snow games.

- Soft landings are one side effect of having 2 feet of snow at the back of the end zone.

- The song is called "Sandstorm"...close enough, I think.

That was a helluva pass by Brissett in the "Soft landings..." link.

Colts - Bills game a momentous parting gift from Ron Meyer, infamous architect of the "snowplow game", who passed away just a few days ago.

NFL concussion protocol would have allowed JFK back in the parade
