Weather
and sports mixed in conversation often last week, but most of it concerned
Peyton Manning’s ability – well, inability – to win in cold weather.
Time out: What’s it
called when you begin and end a sentence with the same word? There has to be a
word for that.
Anyway, if
you’re a Broncos fan, or worse, a Patriots-hating Jets fan, Peyton didn’t do
much to dispel beliefs that he can't get it done when the temperature drops.
Speaking of dropping, lets' drop the Peyton/cold weather talk because that'll resurface soon enough in January.

The day before Manning’s team blew a huge lead – it was 24-0 at halftime – and
the game to those pesky New Englanders, Ohio State routed Indiana 42-14 in
something we all love, a snow game.
I
have to be honest, I didn’t know about the snow falling on The Horseshoe until
Monday.
Thankfully,
Bill Livingston of the Cleveland Plain Dealer penned (nobody pens $#@! anymore)
banged
out an excellent column about the playing conditions while also speculating
that an SEC team would have difficulty competing on such a cold, snowy, windy November
afternoon in Columbus.
I
have to disagree with Bill. Toss in a Category 3 hurricane named Brutus and
“Bama is still beating the Buckeyes by a couple of touchdowns!
This
week Ohio State plays at Michigan, where the extended forecast is showing a
high of 36 and sunny.
Boring!
Oh,
wait.
Apparently,
there’s still snow in Columbus where Ohio State fans expressed
their distaste toward Michigan and ESPN’s Mark May Tuesday morning.
Hold
on. I feel a song coming on: “So we can write about things that blow, let it
snow, let snow, let it snow!”
That's just stupid. I apologize.
