"The Packers have a 13-2 win-loss record in playoffs contested on Lambeau's "Frozen Tundra" and quarterback Brett Favre is 43-5 in games when temperatures are below 35 Fahrenheit."

Giants braced for cold reception in Green Bay

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York Giants, with Arctic-like temperatures and a Super Bowl berth on the line, are guaranteed a cold reception when they step on to Lambeau Field on Sunday to face the Green Bay Packers in the NFC title game.

Last week, when Green Bay beat the Seattle Seahawks 42-20 in the divisional playoff, Packers players and coach Mike McCarthy described the scene at Lambeau as a winter wonderland.

Weathermen are forecasting even more brutal conditions on Sunday, with temperatures hovering near zero Fahrenheit (-17.C) at kickoff to the delight of Green Bay fans.

The Packers have a 13-2 win-loss record in playoffs contested on Lambeau's "Frozen Tundra" and quarterback Brett Favre is 43-5 in games when temperatures are below 35 Fahrenheit.

we all know guys from the south can't play in the evil cold of the north. Don't you read the DU sports forum? The only way Bret wins is because the other quarterback is a graduate of Ole Miss.

Bowl games this year. :eyes:

because you keep playing the same song over and over and over.

Bosshog, I love ya' but man, give it a nap

Edit to add: Favre laid a big stinker in Chicago this year, and now he trying to blame th " younger players' on the team

I'll give it a nap, but I guarantee it will be woke up next fall and it won't be by me, then I'll be told I'm playing the same tune over and over. I didn't "go there." I just followed.

Lt Morant and Lt Handcock are off to be executed by their own guys on a trumped up charge. They are stopped by the Minister on their way to the firing squad. I paraphrase:

Minister: any final prayers or scripture for your grave?
Lt. Morant: Sorry Reverend, I'm a pagan
Lt Handcock: Pagan, whats that then? ( cockney accent)
LtM: Its someone who does not believe there is a kind and benevolent Creator
LtH: Right. Put me down for that, guv'ner. I'm a pagan too

so just before the firing squad lets loose Lt Handcock gives his final order

SHOOT STRAIGHT, YOU BASTARDS, DONT MAKE A BLOODY MESS OF IT!!!!!!

True story too, you'd like that show Bosshog. I bet you would

8 bucks an hour. Like a thousand people show up at 6 am for the privelage, make 22 or so bucks and then head across the street to Krolls for beer and breakfast. I tried to get in once, got up at 6 to get in line but was too late.

Call me a contrarian if you must, but do not -- I AM WARNING YOU -- call me a republicon.

I totally respect the Pack, and wish them the best. But I got a hunch the Giants are going to pull off a Fairy Tale STUNNING UPSET

"I'm going with the Giants, too." - Shrek

find you, shall we say, mucho eclectic.

Not that there's anything wrong with that (in Seinfeld's voice).


on edit...typo

too close to call.

Eclectic, thats a good thing. I know Spiralhawk posted the NYTimes stories of the '61&'62 games.

This will be another one for the ages

I hope that -- despite the brutal Arctic conditions that are forecast -- both the Packers and the Giants will play at the championship levels they are capable of...

that only the Giants can beat the Giants and only the Packers can beat themselves. If there are no penalties or turnovers, it will come down to the very last play

Hooo hah

Impressive. I had a hunch the Giants might pull it out; they have been playing inspired football since the grand effort against the Pats.

Should be a good Super Bowl.

wind is gonna be a huge factor, it gets in that stadium and swirls about

:bounce:

No amount of money could entice me to live in the Twin Cities during Winter. Now I wouldn't mind Reykjavik or Oslo or Stockholm.

As Prince said once about Minnesota winters and why he continues to live here:

It keeps the bad people away.

Those pussies play in a dome. Real men play football outside
