The NFL just cancled tonight's Colts/Packers game

[Hangman]

Unplayable field

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Quite possibly the most preseason-ish way to start the preseason that could possibly happen.

 

[Tainthappening]

Paint they used is like cement one of the players commented... guess better that it happens now vs regular season game, but yet, how does this even happen in a "professional" sports league

Thanks Goodell

 

[RobToxin]

So, I get the player safety and no sense losing someone to injury in a preseason game.

But...

you had since February? March? April?

You've had months to have this field ready for this game.

Piss fucking poor preparation job by someone here.

Had a concert there a few days ago and the field was left in shitty condition and obviously nothing was done about it. Oh well, the Broncos the defending Super Bowl Champions. Peace.

I heard they're trying to blame a concert that happened on Friday.

I bet @handicappers had the 10,000-1 odds that no game would be played for 5 large...

 

[realityball]

... jeez ... and the Patriots weren't even playin ...

 

[Rex Racer]

It's Tom fucking Brady's fault, no doubt about it.

Look for Goodell to suspend him for the whole season now

 

[Rex Racer]

No biggie, no one gives a shit about the Colts or Packers anyways.

 

[The Derski]

James Harrison is about to get fined for this.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Tom Benson(who attached his name to this stadium with a large sum of money)should be ASHAMED of himself right now!!! I have nothing against the Saints, but come on now!!! This is unacceptable!!!

 

[beardown07]

Pretty ridiculous.


Wish my team got a canceled preseason game...or two.

 

[Beaker]

Thank GOD! I fucking hate playing the 5th preseason game.

Now we can wait a week before getting hit with a crushing injury!

Seriously though, how does this even happen? What a fucking joke.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Good news for the players.

 

[BigKen]

Who could be so stupid as to schedule anything on that field even three weeks before the only professional football game that gets played on it. During Hall of Fame Week no less. Somebody needs to be fired.

 

[navamind]

** ohio **

 

[L.Freamon]

somebody gettin fired

It's even worse than you think... This field has been this way for years. Last year the Steelers lost 2 players to ACL tears in the HOF game on this very field. A bunch of players were quoted saying the field was like playing on cement.
