Did anyone else see this on NFL-N? The snow plow game was #7, the Oakland game was #2. #1 was the Ice Bowl.
I love all the pro-Raider, ill-informed commentary. Former safety George Atkinson says, "That is a rule that has never been used before or since...only against the Raiders." Some guy from SF radio says, "I know the rule but the Raiders got screwed."
Tom Curran and Bob Ryan make appearances as well.
I'm curious about a few games...if any made it to the list of 10.... My thoughts are these might be a bit obscure..being non important games..and hardly worth a mention....
1--Is a Jet/Pats game not sure exactly when(80s), but it was played in heavy rain like monsoons...
2---The opening game 1975 Houston/Patriots again, played in a monsoon rainstorm..one TD on a fumble recovery...teams hardly moved the ball because of the weather....
3---There was a game in KC...I think early 00s or late 90s...what was in the middle of a heavy thunderstorm..rain and wind..and floods in the stands it was so bad..the game was stopped it was so bad with all the lightning around....and with 5" of water in an hour never resumed.
As an aside...I remember the OLD College All Star game...so many years gone..where the SB team would play the allstar college players..(when looking back a rather dumb idea..)Here is a blurb about that last hame....
"The last game took place during a downpour at Soldier Field on July 23, 1976. Despite featuring stars like Chuck Muncie, Mike Pruitt, Lee Roy Selmon and Jackie Slater, the rookies were hopelessly outmatched by the Pittsburgh Steelers, winners of Super Bowl X. Pittsburgh was leading 24-0 late in the third quarter when the weather conditions made play impossible. The officials called for a delay. The players left the field and were replaced by unruly fans, who tore down the goal posts."
As far as bad condirions went, the lightning was all around the area and it's a wonder there wasn't a real tragedy it was so bad.
