Good morning, sports fans.
This Sunday, your NY Football Giants take on the Packers of Green Bay in frigid Wisconsin. As of Friday morning, the forecast is worse than bleak; highs are subzero.

TMT is disappointed that the game should prove less a battle of skill and will, and more a test of body heat. For a moment, let's pretend Adam is NY and I am a Cheddar Head. Well, I'm always freezing and my husband is a sweaty SOB. AP sleeps barely clothed and he can barely make me out under my mountain of comforters.

So, while I am the better tackle, inarguably superior tight end, quarterback, and wide receiver than my man, "Chuckles the Clown Parry," the odds are in his favor on frozen fields. Giant Adam wins!

Unfortunately, Green Bay is known to hang tough in harsh winds. You are going to hear this weekend's matchups likened to the infamous/famous "Ice Bowl" of 1967, the NFL Championship game between the Packers and Dallas Cowboys.

From the Pro Football Hall of Fame:

Played at Lambeau Field on December 31, the temperature at game time registered a frigid 13 degrees below zero. Nonetheless, more than 50,000 parka-clad fans braved the elements that New Year’s Eve and watched in awe as the Packers claimed their third consecutive NFL title, with a 21-17 victory.

TMT hope that this young Packers team doesn't handle the cold as well as their grizzly predecessors. But with tough and lovable Brett Favre leading the pack(ers), we are nervous. Still, Go Big Blue.
