Mein Fuhrer! THEY WON!

My Southwest flight from Dallas to K.C. was canceled late last night. I'm now flying tomorrow mid-day. Backing the kickoff to 7:20 Central is a good idea. I have to get up early Monday to fly out, but whatever.

N: Green Bay CB Sam Shields was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia -- both misdemeanors -- nearly three months after a police investigation, according to Wisconsin Circuit Court records.

V: Not going to be a factor in Sunday's game, since Shields hasn't played since the opener and is currently on IR, but could lead to Shields missing games next season

Tbh Shields is hopefully done with football entirely. The guy has had so many concussions the past few years

It's not going to get super cold during this storm. Well it's super cold if you're SA2K or that other guy complaining about 50 degrees, but the temps are hovering around 32 all weekend.

Once it stops actually doing the freezing rain bit the roads will hopefully recover fairly quickly. And the only reason they're delaying the game is because of that, not conditions on the field/in the stadium.

The Texans need to just blitz the poo poo out of Brady on every down.

Brady is the best QB in the history of the NFL at defeating the blitz. Historically, the way to get to Brady is middle pressure, so he he can't step up in the pocket. He's not that great at escaping laterally. The Broncos' secondary forced him to hold the ball a split second longer than usual, combined with Miller's exceptional speed is why they had success off the edges. Dunno that Houston can replicate that with the Patriots' upgraded o-line

This is only really true when its at least somewhat hilly. In the flatlands of the midwest you should be good as long as you go slow and increase your allowed stopping distance by a wide margin.

No. Untreated ice covered roads are impossible to drive on for a regular car regardless of terrain.

Your advice applies to snow. Ice will gently caress you up.

I drove out of completely iced over Birmingham less than a week ago. Roads were flat sheets of black ice without even the barest hint of a salt truck. Its absolutely possible to drive on ice.

There was a terrible ice storm in the northeast in 2008 when I worked in logistics. Our vehicles couldn't travel on those roads without chains on the wheels.

If you drove on a road covered entirely in black ice, unless you drove some ridiculously slow speed - like 5mph - the moment you attempted to make a turn you'd keep sliding forward and end up in a ditch on the side of the road.

All the snow tires, AWD and anti-lock brakes in the world are useless on ice. You can't reliably gain traction to control a regular passenger car.

Doesn't look like it's going to be as bad as the doomsday predictions yesterday were, but it's still supposed to be a bunch of freezing rain Saturday night/Sunday morning in the forecasts I'm seeing.

We had one shortly after THanksgiving and there were tons of highway accidents, and they didn't cancel or delay school so they had to order all the busses to pull over for several hours until the roads were safer. Way to go Northern NH superintendent who's too tough to delay school.
