        Id guess you probably weren't there with your shirt off and drunk trying to look like the cold doesn't bother you like the jughead's we see on TV. And id guess it was all men this happened to.

            The longer the Falcons, the Giants, and the Vikings have unresolved future QB issues, the higher the probability of a trade down with the Chargers, that an now people are saying that McCarthy has surpassed one of the top three and will now be the third QB taken...if only that kicker for the Cardinals hadn't missed that FG we'd be guaranteed a trade down right now...

              Vikings or Falcons are probably getting Cousins

              The other would be open to a trade up - possibly

              Prefer trading back to Falcons at 8 over the Vikings at 11

              EDIT: Russini reporting that Cousins will hit free agency and start talking to the Falcons. One option of trading down for the Chargers just left the building. Vikings or nobody at this point

                In the late '80s my older sis was the district ranger at Old Faithful in Yellowstone. I lived in Helena, MT. I used to visit my sis and bro in law on weekends in the winter and ski the backcountry geyser basin. I would get to and fro Old Faithful using a snowmobile they would leave for me in West Yellowstone. One Sunday I left their house too late. It was after midnight and I had to snowmobile 30 miles to my car in West in -20 or -30 temps. It took me hours because there were herds of bison on the road and I had to weave my way through them slowly. I had on good cold weather gear, including some really thick insulated Patagonia gloves. But when I was free from the bison and able to get up some speed, the gloves were no match for the wind chill effect and my thumbs froze. I stopped at a warming hut about halfway and thawed out my hands. I got underway again but by the time I got to my car my thumbs were frozen again. I was able to drive back to Helena, but the next morning my thumbs were still blue and swollen. I had to go to emergency. I had frostbite. It took almost six months for my thumbs to return to normal, but I didn't have to have them amputated.

                      Wow...imagine...had your thumbs gone thru just another 30-60 minutes of that subzero weather, u might now have trouble hitting the space bar on your keyboard as you wrote that...I'm guessing at least some of those Chefs fans were drunk and numb anyway from the alcohol, so they just ignored the warning signs...

                        Harrowing story. Thumbs up!

                        As a teenager, I worked as a dock man guide in Yellowstone in the late 60’s and ran out of gas late at night, too far to hike back to the cabin. It was June but still freezing at night and snow on the ground in upper elevations where I was. Stayed in the car until dawn and while the cold was really bad, the fear of a grizzly coming to visit kept me awake most of the night.

                          CBS reports Cousins plans to begin talks with ATL later today after tampering window opens. Vikings plan to also try to retain him, won't be easy per report. I read a month ago the owner was reported to want to go hard after Cousins. Since then we've read that Fields was all but certain he was going home to ATL so who really knows eh?
