Brace yourselves, residents and visitors alike. A snow storm is on its way to Detroit, just in time for the Superbowl. Expect 5 to 9 inches on Saturday according to the Weather Channel...

The white stuff will lead to traffic snarls, but inside the dome of Ford Field, it will be a nice and cozy 72 degrees. That's not how real football used to be played. But this is commercial football, and those who can afford the high-priced tickets to the game need to be coddled to a certain degree.
Surely, certain members of the press will complain about our weather and how the Superbowl shouldn't be held in cold climate cities. To that I say, "toughen up". Football isn't meant to be played in resort cities. It's a grind it out, down and dirty kind of sport. I just hope the visitors from Seattle brought the appropriate winter clothing and will learn quickly how to drive in the snow with their rental cars. As for the Pittsburgh fans, they can always keep their heads warm with their "Terrible Towels."
My Superbowl prediction, (from a non-expert, and a Cleveland Browns fan)...
Pittsburgh 23 - Seattle 13
+ Atul
