Can't believe there isn't a thread on this already....
Can't find a good vid on youtube, but anyway I've sure you've heard what he said already...
It's not the "wussification of American" that is the problem. I think for the most part I agree with that, and I also really like the fact that he backs what he said. While the praising of everything Chinese is a real issue, but honestly, an elected governor of Pennsylvania, and he's dumb enough to say "the Chinese wouldn't have called off the game, the would have walked, and they would have been doing calculus problems on their way down." Really man? Really? How in the world does one get that far, being not able to realize when he's about to say something that dumb?

Even dumber voters, I mean Eagle fans voted him into office LOL!
I couldn't believe what I was hearing when he was complaining about the game being changed. Hello? You have a weather emergency and you want to draw a bunch of people out on the streets to try to get to the stadium?

I typically bristle when government officials weigh in on sports. But since the NFL kinda sluffed the decision off on the city. Why not weigh in. Since I agree, there wasn't that much snow blowing around. Buncha pansies...

It wasn't that bad of a storm. I live in south Jersey and was driving during the height of the storm. I think it would have been an interesting game had it been played (don't think that would have helped the eagles show up to play football tho).
