[BIGDAY]

[yisman]

since ESPN had the HOF game, they shipped Sunday Night Baseball to the MLB network

odd start time of 4:10 PM Pacific there

so now what is ESPN showing?

[TheMoneyShot]

It's not even raining??? WTF happened to the field?

Something smells fishy here. A large wager was accepted somewhere??? This is really odd.

Multiple sources told ESPN.com that both the Packers and Colts were worried about player safety as crews worked feverishly to spray solvent on the area around the midfield logo. The issue stemmed from the paint used on the logo and in the end zones.
One Packers player described it as "like cement" at midfield, where workers spent more than an hour trying to make it playable.
"The end zones are just as bad," the same player said about 90 minutes before the scheduled 8 p.m. ET kickoff.
"The paint on the logo won't allow a cleat to penetrate it," a Colts source said. "A definite hazard to player safety."

We are making fun of Rio and here is the NFL a 200 billion dollar industry and they bought the wrong paint to paint the field.

I'm speechless. The commissioner should resign immediately.

They should have Bob Villa do a show on which paint to use on grass.

[SomeDayinBuffalo]

Wow the NFL can't give them a real field.....

Three hours of Brett Favre coverage (rivaling his never ending retirement debacle) would have been painful, but an NFL game, albeit pre season, being cancelled is tough.

Maybe I'll watch the baseball game: BALL 1..........Strike 1.......snooze

[yisman]

I just tuned into ESPN and they haven't removed the ads.

They're still running ads nonstop "The NFL is back, Packers/Colts tonight at 8 on ESPN."

[TheMoneyShot]

I saw that too

[yisman]

I saw that too

going to be even more people pissed off when they see the ads, set their schedule to watch at 8, and...

[mr. leisure]

Fukin paint ....... Gimme a break

[mr. leisure]

They haven`t even told the fans in the stadium yet .

[klemopixx]

I blame Tom Brady

[klemopixx]

To compensate the fans in the stands, they're going to have some sort of "fan-fest".

[Memento]

Damn....I was looking forward to randy moss commentating.

turf in this case

[pavyracer]

turf in this case

It's turf? Then why don't they remove the painted turf and put new one.

These guys are really incompetent.

[TheMoneyShot]

That's what happens when the NFL goes from a DuPont paint... to the Walmart brand. Unreal.

They tried to save a buck.

[Killer_Demo]

Someone is getting fired for this

[PorkChop]

This better not be foreshadowing for SB 51 to be cancelled
