    I'm not going to go back and forth with you because it doesn't help anyone, but please stop questioning my football knowledge. I asked you about the Steelers because you clearly know more about them than I do and my opinion, based on the football I've seen, bad weather was going to hurt them more than help. Yes, Bell can run, but Roethlisberger isn't exactly the king of accuracy. In poor weather games, you can win with short, accurate passes, something Alex Smith happens to do very, very well. That is why I asked you your opinion. I did so in a civil manner. If you could extend the same to me, it would be terrific.

    Couldn't think of which game it was and I was in the middle of cooking ... I don't even remember that Tuesday postponement. I'm guessing I was probably pissed I couldn't watch it because they probably only showed it in local markets.

    The weather report looks pretty bad for the night. Would they push it to Monday?

    Ben Roethlisberger 64.1% completion percentage for his career.
    Alex Smith 61.7% completion percentage for his career.

    And Roethlisberger has done it averaging a yard more per pass attempt for his career.

    Rhody's the guy who says Derek Carr is an Alex Smith-type quarterback.

    Not only the mass transit but also the distance. I bet if you took the average distance each vehicle at Arrowhead has driven from home to the parking lot, it's longer than any other NFL stadium. Exception might be Green Bay with 20,000 people driving up from Milwaukee.

    Kansas City is remarkably spread out. Anyone on the Kansas side is looking at a minimum of 30 minutes on game day.

    19 years ago, I covered Broncos-Chiefs playoffs at Arrowhead. Driving through Kansas, I saw at least 11 cars in the ditch just that morning. Best part... eating BBQ with Whitlock and interviewing a solemn rookie Tony Gonzalez.

    That game was icy, wasn't it? How is that one supposed to compare to what's coming this weekend?

    Only game I did at Arrowhead was in 2004. Stayed at Pats' team hotel in downtown KC. Miles and miles away from the place. Same thing with going on Sox road trips to Royals. The land they used for this practical complex is far from most places.

    You asked the question, then ignored the answer and went right on with your Patriots fanboy conspiracy theory bullshit. When you post dumb things, I will say you posted dumb things. I question your football knowledge when you show that it is lacking. Hell, even TSP made you look bad.

    Conspiracy theories are fun. Sorry for wanting to have fun with a meaningless sport.
    The NFL has shown no evidence of caring for its fans. Would it be a shock if they used to weather as an excuse to push the game to prime time and get that ratings bump?
