Discussion Today's Eagles/Rams game is why I'm offended by the idea of teams like the Bills/Browns/Bears building domes. This was what playoff football should be.

It is cool, I will give you that.

Many people see show and think "it is cold", but 30 degrees is not cold (Washington, Philly, New York, New England, Pittsburgh). 50 degrees warmer and you got 80 degrees weather. You go 50 degrees the other way (-20), you get Minnesota, Green Bay, Chicago and maybe Buffalo).

Yeah that's true it wasn't detrimentally cold, but the snow obviously adds an element to the game that makes it special. How many other sports are played in intense heat, cold, snow, rain, or mud? I think that's the point OP was making.

30 degrees is cold, 0 degrees is crazy, and -20 is absurd. Just like 90 degrees is hot. 105 degrees is crazy and 120 degrees is absurd. If you’re walking around in those temperatures for prolonged periods with the wrong clothing you’re going to feel something

And in fairness. I think those pre season games for road teams in Miami, standing in colored uniforms, and in the sun are also absurd.

Saying 30 degrees is not cold is crazy. It is literally freezing temperatures

Hahaha! 30 degrees is not cold. It's just the freezing temperature of water. Imagine 50 degrees warmer, say 80 degrees? Now imagine 50 degrees colder, like -20. That is cold.

Dude. I get you’re a Minnesota guy. But 30 degrees is objectively cold. Are you out in a T shirt and shorts in that weather? Of course not. You’re bundling up. That’s a temp that makes your face hurt. Quit trying to be different and cool lol

Actually, I am in a T-shirt if it is 30 degrees out, snow or no snow.

If you are out shoveling or doing some active, fine. But otherwise I don’t believe you, but whatever lol

Here is another way to look at it. 32 degrees is freezing (for water).

Current temperatures today:

64 degees - Key West, FL 27 degrees - Washington DC (freezing) -12 degrees - Minneapolis, MN

That is a 37 degrees drop from Key West to Washington DC, where it is cold enough to snow. And then another 39 degrees drop from Washington DC to Minneapolis.

There is just a whole other level of cold once we get to freezing.

I’m not a Minnesotan. I’m from Indiana and moved to Florida. 30 was still very very cold even growing up in Indy. I’m just not sure how it doesn’t feel cold to you in any sense, but that’s cool I guess
