Patriots in the playoffs

You know, end-of-the-year football games were cold enough back when the season ended in early January. Ask Dan Fouts about playing in the Freeze Bowl in Cincinnati. Or Don Meredith about the Ice Bowl in Green Bay. But now that the NFL season goes on until February, we all but guarantee awful weather for the playoffs.

All that is a polite way of saying that the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens are going to freeze their butts off this Sunday in the wild card game in Foxborough.
