On Frozen Roof

Almost 2 million views on YouTube of the Metrodome roof caving in. We love to see things going crashing down, don't we?

Alright, I lived in Minneapolis for a very brief period and it is flat out one of the coldest places in America. You can literally drive an SUV onto a lake during the winter because the ice is 20 inches thick. I left my Toyota Tercel outside one night in December and the next day it was a block of ice. The guy from AAA told me that he could not even start it.

In the video, the stadium looks like a circus tent being hit by a hail storm. The Vikings are a big time NFL franchise with superstar players. Maybe it is time to play football under a proper roof or, better yet, play outside like other teams in nasty winter markets (Packers, Bills and Patriots).

Well, the blow back of all this is that nobody (except NY and MN households) is going to see Brett Favre miss his first start in 20 years.
