Once in a while one comes across a "Fun" read with quirky journalism and it also makes Green Bay Number One.

So, heretofore I share this with you. After all, one could use a fun read when the Packers are so boring.. : )

Very entertaining.
Plus I like his dislike of domed stadiums.
Ban them, football is an outdoors, the mud, the blood and the beer sport!

If they started building domes back in the early 1900's maybe the outdoor stadiums would be unique.

I'm guessing that the majority of the NFL and the owners and probably most of the players and coaching staffs would rather play indoors. Even most of the fans who actually go to the games on a regular basis, especially those in cold weather cities, would prefer to be indoors. The only group who is probably in the majority for wanting it to remain and outdoor sport are those who regularly watch from the comfort of their own homes. Here is my challenge to you. Since football is meant to be an outdoor sport, when the Packers play the vikings on January 3rd I want all of you to lug your 65 inch high def TVs outside enjoy the game from a lawn chair in your front yard. I won't hold my breath waiting for it to happen.

"Nissan Stadium — Take a guess — 69,149...
You could have given me 10 guesses as to which NFL team played in Nissan Stadium and I still wouldn’t have come up with the Tennessee Titans."

I don't agree with all of his rankings, but the writing was fun and the article is both amusing and informative.

I froze my ass off enough times at Camp Randall back in the day that I also will not criticize domes too much.

Domes pissed me off when the Packers kept losing or having a hard time in them to speedier "dome" teams. Then we became one of those, and domes no longer pissed me off. That pic of Soldier Field really does look like "a flying saucer landed on an ancient ruin".

But I think that's also why some people suggest going to minor league baseball games are more exciting than Major League baseball games... because the minor league teams are so much more than just the game but they still show what the cities are and the sport was, in that they still have the original heart of the game.

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
