Balta1701 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 15, 2010 -> 02:50 AM) Watching the video of them plowing the snow at that stadium was ridiculous. I heard there was 4-5 ft of snow in there... Is that right? Yes. They supposedly have an army of a couple hundred people working full day shifts to shovel it out right now since tractors will destroy the playing surface.

clyons Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 No excuse for the Bears not to open a giant can of whoop-ass on the Vikes. They get them outside, w/o a healthy QB, and should have a huge chip on their shoulder after their nationally televised crap-fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) So a win over a banged up Vikes team and a loss by GB to the Pats and we'll be celebrating a NFC North Division title, I love our chances.

If that actually happened, then Lovie truly has the world's largest horseshoe stuck up his ass. With the all the injuries their opponents keep having, the Vikings having 3 injured QBs, moving a road division game to Soldier Field would take the cake.

In the current situation however... On the radio they said that "volunteers" would be paid (kinda not a volunteer, but still). I'm sure there's more than a few folks who'll throw on a coat and make some quick cash depending on pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 And to those people who are unemployed and want to work for the Vikings in any form, signing up for something like that is a great way to get your name into their database.
