No, I remember the game. But I also remember that everyone outside of Minnesota celebrated the strategy at the time. Favre was an older, less mobile quarterback who held onto the ball too long, QBs were not yet a protected species, and refs tend to hold onto their flags in the playoffs. It wasn’t a NICE strategy, but it was a viable one given the state of the NFL at the time.

Here’s the real deal though - the only reason it really mattered is because the NFL, after YEARS of denial, finally had to admit that concussions were bad in 2012. The Saints and NFC championship game, until then viewed as “this is what the NFL is about”, got flipped to “this is everything that’s wrong with today’s game, stop it now.”

You admit human pollution affects the planet, regardless of snow or not snow, we should do better about addressing pollution.

The ozone layer is protection between the earth and the sun. Similar to say a garage. Turning a car on in a garage will quickly fill the garage w carbon monoxide. Any animal in the garage will suffocate.

That is what we are doing with pollution. The earth is a garage and we are constantly running a car 24/7.

We have to find alternatives to carbon based systems right now. Snow or no snow, climate hoax or not. We need to do it now.

Also carbon dating doesn’t lie. Goes back thousands of millions of years.

You honestly don't remember what particularly led to the NFL's interest in bounty-gate? The repeated late and dirty hits on Favre in the Championship were it. And fuck Favre - not a fan.
