my favorite bad weather football memories
#1: Mediocre Packer team playing an equally bad Tampa team, sometime in the mid- to late-80s. Snowing like a mofo. The Bucs QB (DeBurg?) gets sacked falling face-first into about 6 inches of snow and slop. I'm sure my memory has embellished this some, but I could swear that he slid on his face about 2 yards. Must have been miserable.
#2: Packers vs. Raiders, 1993. It's beyond bitterly cold -- zero degrees, with a wind chill of minus 22. Minus friggin 22. During pregame warmups (ha!), the Packers came out of the tunnel with bare arms. In stunned response, the bundled up Raiders all looked like they'd rather be euthanized than play that day. Packers win 28-0, and if it were possible, the Raiders would have gone into negative points.
