GDT: It's a Snowy Sunday Afternoon Game Against Boston

[Blueline Bomber]

The team has already said the game will go ahead as scheduled, but anyone who doesn't feel safe driving the roads can exchange their tickets for one at a later date.

As far as the game itself goes, Ward is starting again, and Tennyson will be back in the lineup paired with Hanifin.

Yeah, sorry guys I tried but he's really good at scampering away.

Obviously, Murphy didn't pan out, and that's a bummer. But to see him play now is just painful. On top of being completely overmatched, he looks scared. He's obviously got zero confidence right now, which I guess is understandable, but he's not even trying to fake it. This goes down as a mercy demotion to me. He's a Ryan Leaf-level train wreck right now.

If any of y'all are heading out to the game be careful out there, it's icy enough that they could play the game in PNC's parking lot.

This amount of snow is silly for me, but I can understand that you guys don`t have it too often so it`s a big deal! Be careful

It's not snow. It's ice.

To be more specific: it's rain then freezing rain then sleet then snow then freezing rain again then sleet again and then a little snow on top. And that's what it almost always is when it "snows" here -- because it's always, like, between 1 degree and -1 degree Celsius when it "snows" here.

If it were just an inch or two of powdery stuff, it would be gone in a day. If it were six inches of powdery stuff, the plows would mostly handle it.

The last "nice" snow we had was probably 2 or 3 years ago.

It's not snow that's the concern, but ice. A lot of the major roads are somewhat driveable but it's getting TO the major roads that are the problem. Just saw somebody attempt to drive by my house in a Beetle and they ended up spinning out. I'll stay home, thanks.

Come on, man. He wasn't the #2 pick, he's not on drugs, and he's not in jail.

He's bad, sure, but not that bad.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

And where is the ****ing game?

 

[Breakdowns]

We have icey roads as well, they put salt mixed with dirt on the roads and it start to melt. I guess they don`t do that where you guys live?

 

[HisIceness]

Ryan Leaf is maybe a step above JaMarcus Russell in terms of most useless football player ever. That guy had maybe two games in which he didn't suck and looked somewhat competent.

Murphy may be a bust but he's no where near Ryan Leaf-like. I would probably say that "honor" would go to Alexandre Diagle, who interestingly had something like a 10 year career. That said I do wish now Francis could have gotten something, anything for him because I have a feeling he's got no value and will probably be playing overseas or in the minors pretty soon.

On the major roads. Not on the neighborhood roads.

That sucks. I hope you guys stay safe!

A lot of the secondary and residential roads here tend to be somewhat hilly and can cause challenges of deicing the roads. I think the big picture is the state wants all the major roads cleared so police cars and ambulances can at least have a clear path in the event of emergencies.
