Mack stays with Browns
-
Rare for a 90 degree game? Not in Florida in September- or even October. Ah yes TC- I remember it well. Browns- Tampa Bay @ Raymond James. October 13, 2002. (Actually had to look up the date)- but it was the damn hottest football game I've ever been at- on field temp- 105, I was just sitting in the stands having a few cold ones, and sweat was pouring off my body.
Just to be scientific, I looked it up the average high in Tampa in September is 89.
I agree warm is better than 10 degrees, but unless you're tossing ice water on players, 90 degrees with 90% humidity is a recipe for heat stroke.
Right. And you remember that because it was an anomaly. I've been to early season games in Charlotte, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Miami, I've experienced one game where I was sweating my ass off and the rest where the weather was damn near perfect. I've also been to games in Baltimore and Pittsburgh, and one was cold as fuck while the other was in Pittsburgh.
As for Gip's "pussy" and "gay" comments...you're an old man who has repeatedly admitted to not playing football. A dickless punter is still twelve times the man you are. Can it with the "pussy" talk already.
This notion of "real men play in the cold" is about as antiquated as "a woman's rightful place is in the kitchen" or "children are to be seen and not heard". It's something a bunch of sackless, overweight, chauvinistic, racist old white men came up with while wearing cotton gym shorts and spraying their front yards with a hose.
That's cool that you looked that up, and I agree Tampa is hot as shit in September. That's also 3-4 games per year. What about the other 12-13?
"children are to be seen and not heard".
what they're not?
no wonder this country has gone to shit.

Shit, I was hoping no one would fact check me.
I succumb to hyperbolic speech every now and again.
Yeah, its crazy how easy it was.

TC- it depends on where you live and how you view things. Couple of personal observations
Southerners that live in constant high heat adapt to it, and don't tolerate cold very well. Was down in the Keys one January for the Winter Star Party- about 2AM, gee, it's getting a little cool, should probably put on a sweater. Some guys from Miami had their parkas on. And to be fair, a lot of us Northerners don't tolerate heat well. I've always said the first thing I'd do if I ever hit the lottery is buy a condo in Anchorage.
Well yeah, I'm crazy on the other end. I feel more for the players than I do for myself. If you check my tag line I do mountaineering and ride a bicycle year round. That means knowing how to properly dress for conditions- and football players aren't. My cutoff temp on the bike is 20 degrees, that's zero wind chill- the same as it was for the NHL Winter Classic this year. No problem. In my younger years I've gone for an overnight camp out when it was -5 just to see if they were lying about my -20 sleeping bag (they weren't). Now if you want to talk extreme cold- remember the Bengals- Chargers Freezer Bowl playoff game? I was out skiing at Snowshoe that day- and there was no way I was going to forfeit a pre-paid lift ticket. (couple of the other guys decided likewise). Oh, the actual air temperature was -29, and with a howling blizzard, the wind chill was -72. LOL, they would have called off a football game in those conditions- some of us got frostbite later on pulling batteries out of the cars to warm them up enough to crank the engines.
But getting back to the "real men play in the cold" deal- the Browns 1964 Championship game was played December 27th. Due to corporate greed the Broncos played their Championship game (never mind the Super Bowl) January 19th. If then was now, you'd be having the Super Bowl in a ton of cold weather cities- in February. Not to be outdone MLB is even worse. I will agree baseball is strictly a warm weather sport. Extending the season on both ends- and watching guys try to play ball in the snow is a joke.

I am not being stubborn, I am being accurate....because you and I are not comparing the same thing.
Sure, it is nicer to play on a 60 degree day than a 20 degree day.....but it is NOT nicer for guys trussed up in pads etc. to be out there on 80-90 degree and humid than to be out there on a 20 degree day.
And it is a lot more dangerous. No one is going to get heat stroke on a 20 degree day.
I mean, you are really coming off as a southern woos.
Playing football in the snow is about as cool as it gets....and many players would tell you that.
Have you ever hit a person in 20 degree weather?
Have you ever even worn pads?
I hate to pull this card, but from experience it is much nicer to play in warmer weather than colder weather. Today's pads are equipped with air conditioning and cooling systems. Playing football in the snow once is cool. Everybody wants to do it. But that's it.
Like I said before, there's a reason why the Pro Bowl is played in Hawaii. Players CHOSE Hawaii. They didn't CHOOSE Canton.
You're coming off as a stubborn and ill-informed homer, and that's all this is.

I've always said the first thing I'd do if I ever hit the lottery is buy a condo in Anchorage.I worked in Anchorage last summer and talked to a lot of people from the midwest. They said that the Anchorage winters weren't as bad due to the low humidity. Anchorage is right on the water and they had a more mild winter than Northeast Ohio. You wanna talk cold move inland a bit: Fairbanks Alaska, that's fucking cold.

Yeah, I know. Been there many times. Summer in Anchorage is like April or October in Ohio. Winter? Go north of the Chugach, and welcome to -40. 24 hours of summer daylight is pretty cool too.

Again, I liked playing in the cold.
Yes the hits hurt more, and the football is harder to handle but that's why I liked it.
My guess is a lot of defensive guys like it, and offensive lineman. The skill positions would rather play in 50-60-70s probably.
I don't think these players really care much tbh. Especially not at the NFL level. The cold weather teams don't seem to have a problem winning (patriots, packers, steelers, etc.)

You are the one whining about not wanting to play in a little cold weather. What would any objective person believe about that?
That you are a whiner.
And as far as game being really cold in the north....at most you get maybe 2-3 a year that are played in weather under like 40 degrees. Probably fewer than you get played down south in 80-90 degrees.

How many of you here have played?
Ever hear an interview of NFL players? Some of them are the least knowledgeable people about football out there.

But the argument at hand isn't about knowing about football. It's not about intelligence. It's about climate preferences.
And I'm not saying that I don't want to play in cold weather. I'm saying that, given the choice, I would choose warm weather. As would anyone else.
All other variables aside, Mack chooses Jacksonville over Cleveland ten times out of ten.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
and all along all we thought you could play was the rusty trombone.
