HOF game cancelled

[Patsfanin Philly]

The NFL simply does not have enough money to afford things like monitoring and maintaining field conditions, treating officials like something better than garbage,......................

Maybe they should have the car wash or bake sale as BB suggested................

 

[varjao]

Any chance this was some kind of message the players sent to the league like cut the crap

 

[The Brandon Five]

This is weak. Players that played in the Ice Bowl must be laughing their asses off. Players play in far worse conditions all the time. Anyone remember the Wembley Stadium Dolphins Steelers game in 2007? Nothing got cancelled there:

That looks like it is at Heinz, not Wembley.

 

[Koma]

Anyone think if the Superbowl conditions were exactly the same, that they would cancel the game?

While not the exactly same, the field conditions at the Super Bowl were not great:

Michael Oher was sliding in the Super Bowl like he was wearing ice skates

 

[The Boston Patriot]

I know people aren't going to like this but Tom needs to come out now and admit his guilt in this issue and we will all be better for it

Was he generally aware that the paint was not dry?

 

[The Gr8est]

Fire Goodell!

Make the NFL* Gr8 Again!

I remember a lot of Patriots were unhappy with the field in Houston following SB38. Don't remember the specifics though.

 

[Tunescribe]

Well, what is he supposed to do with all that money?

Let the federal government figure that out while he's in prison for graft.

It's the preseason.

Yes.. the rumour has started.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Only the NFL can **** up even the simple stuff like this.

 

[The Brandon Five]

45 Vice Presidents and they can't pull off what volunteers do in Pop Warner.

 

[Big Bucks]

I would love McNally and Jastremski to know people at Canton.

 

[InRodWeRust]

Oh wow you're absolutely right. That probably explains why I had such a hard time finding that clip because I was putting in "Wembley" in my searches Not sure why I associated this game with that stadium.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

If we have Ernie Adams sneak in and do this to the field for the 1st 4 games, can we start 0-0 when TFB returns for the 5th?
Miguel?

 

[AzPatsFan]

Funny, in the Facebook "Trending News" section there is no mention of the game being cancelled. Don't the NFL and Facebook have some kind of partnership? Whitewash away, Commissioner Scumbag.

Incompetence at its finest...

 

[signbabybrady]

The real tragedy in all of this:

The Colts had their "2016 Hall of Fame Game Participant" banner all set and now they can't hang it.

You sir win the Internets!

 

[SalemPats]

This shows the NFL front office is a mess that for the first preseason game in Canton they wouldn't take every measure to make sure the field is good, especially when people have complained about it the last few years. Another lazy effort by Goodell and Co

 

[AzPatsFan]

Let the federal government figure that out while he's in prison for graft.

Wrong. that qualifies him to run for President like the current Witch *****!

 

[chasa]

when you spend all your money sueing a player, because you don't understand basic physics, its not a surprise that they would **** this up.
