The Minnesota Vikings-New York Giants football game has been postponed because of snow in Minneapolis. Snow in Minneapolis, how shocking.
From ESPN: A bizarre Saturday started with the New York Giants leaving nearly four hours early to beat the Midwest snow, only to end up stranded in Kansas City for the night and having their game against the Minnesota Vikings postponed until 8 p.m. ET Monday.
Nearly 17 inches of snow fell in Minneapolis and winds gusted past 30 mph. ESPN's Ed Werder reported that a leak formed on the Metrodome roof, where snow had accumulated.
"Due to the severe weather conditions and on the recommendation of Metrodome officials, the Giants-Vikings game will be moved to Monday night," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in a statement.

If the poor, poor Giants had to go to the game on Sunday, they would have do this: Prior to the postponement, the Giants were scheduled for a brutal Sunday: wake up at 6 a.m., depart their Kansas City hotel at 7:15 a.m. and get back on their charter to depart at 8 a.m. so they could be in Minneapolis by 9 a.m.
They were then to go straight to the stadium and play a few hours later. Giants coach Tom Coughlin certainly has to be happier with the NFL's change. (from ESPN)
This schedule is brutal? Welcome to the real world where people have to get up at 6:00 in the morning to go to work. Welcome to the real world.
Brutal, indeed.
