You gotta love how they mix in football metaphors so their inferiors can understand the points they are trying to make...

This is supposed to make me want to STOP global warming?

I am a Cowboys fan — the Giants and Patriot can suck for the remainder of the century for all I care.

The Bengals are going to lose their cold weather edge? Say it ain’t so!

Also why aren’t the Lions considered a cold weather team?

Just got an e-mail from a friend of mine staying with her daughter in Scottsdale. It’s about 75 degrees out there. Besides if it’s too hot on Sunday, they’ll keep the roof closed and turn on the A/C.

There was a recent article published (Rush highlighted it on his program) that listed over 600 crises that were being attributed to global warming. I don’t think this particular crisis was on the list.

Actually, the cold and inclement weather was a detriment to the Patriots. It took away most of the passing game.

National trends from recent seasons suggest that a home field advantage for cold weather teams over their warm weather rivals may truly exist. Environment America pointed to the National Football League’s 14 cold weather teams having won 65 percent of their home games played after Halloween against warm weather teams from 1998 through 2005.

Don't all home teams have an advantage? This whole piece is BS. I doubt if 65% is all that statistically significant compared to the normal home field advantage.

My thoughts exactly... these enviro-pinheads are encouraging fans of warm weather teams to fire up their SUV’s and burn tires.

Does this mean that I can count my bet for the Denver Broncos as a carbon credit?

Pretty funny. Are you sure this isn’t from the Onion or something?

Well, hot weather teams have an advantage over cold weather teams too, particularly at home in September.

Yes, it must have been global warming that caused the Packers to lose in 0 degree temps in the NFC Championship Game.

No, the Lions are just a cold team.
