This year all 4 teams in the playoffs for the Super Bowl are from COLD, northern cities - Green Bay, Chicago, New York and Pittsburgh. Green Bay has already won their playoff and know they will be going to the Super Bowl.
Just thinking about how these guys play in such harsh conditions and wondering if there is any correlation between the outside playing fields in these very cold areas and the toughness and tenacity to get to the division championship. And if there is, what will happen when they get to Dallas and conditions are much more favorable? Does that change everything about how they play?
I watch these guys playing in short sleeves and see them fall on that cold, hard ground and marvel that they can even hold the football much less pass it or kick it or catch it. Seems like the football ought to be like a frozen missile as it speeds from the quarterback to the receiver and should feel like kicking a brick to the punter and place kicker.
But then I don't really know much about it except that I will probably pull for Green Bay because I do like their quarterback and the journey he has been on to get this team where they are.
