    It's about four feet in diameter and delaying the game. The black pellets used to fill are made from rubber like you use on a tire. So, these things could also be smoldering.

    It was a fireworks display on the team entrance that ignited the field. They probably have a heat shield of some type on these pyrotechnics, and someone probably fucked up and forgot to put it down.

    Cowboys don't appear to be missing Romo just yet.

    I can't see how they can play the game with a damaged field like that.

    The NFL guru they put on screen to talk about the problem said they had a similar problem at the Astrodome.

    I guess they put it out with a dot matrix printer and some parachute pants.

    They could cut a piece of the sideline and glue it down if they had to. It would just mean a 4 pm start.

    No point spreads that stick out, except for Packers -6.5 over KC.

    Yet I am in a quandary.

    My intense dislike for all things Peyton Manning is well known here.

    I also hold, in my desk, a Venetian Sports Book slip for a substantial sum with the Lions UNDER 8.5 wins for +180.

    I hate Peyton. I like money. Being a KC guy, I hate the Broncos.

    All that being said, Go Peyton. Go Denver. Pay up.

    It would be nice to see a delay of game flag on the Rams.

    I'm not sure why it wasn't one, though it wouldn't have made much difference on that first drive. Steelers charge down the field, then bog down in close and settle for a short field goal.

    Mr. Bell,

    Never jump like that again.

    In the future Brandon Weeden museum, that's the interception they'll show in the lobby to sum up his career.

    Yeah, that was a very bad idea, but Bell has done it before.
