Rookie QB Joe Callahan will start today for #Packers vs. #Colts, meaning no Rodgers/Hundley pck.rs/2aCb165

Who is Joe Callahan? Wesley College, completed 64.2 percent of his passes for 12,878 yards and 130 TDs with 38 INTs

.@CwoodsonF, @Hasselbeck, & @RandyMoss make their Sunday NFL Countdown debut tonight at 7ET on ESPN.

.@AaronRodgers12 is @WildeAndTausch’s first guest EVER! Interview will air in a 4-part series starting Tuesday.

Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy discussing field conditions, area on logo big concern

Colts GM Ryan Grigson also on scene

There are large chunks of this field that are nothing but rubber pellets right now.

Someone on HOF Stadium field said rubber pellets are melded together, and it's impossible to get a cleat into it. So that's a problem.

Standing on the field, it's hard for me to imagine how they can play a game safely on this surface. Cleat could get stuck in hard rubber.

Field Turf melted on parts of logo, it's like rubber, big concern cleats will stick there, major player safety issue

Some problem with @ProFootballHOF midfield logo. Less than 2 hrs to kickoff. No warmups yet. I smell paint.

 

End zone issue too

This is not the same field as the one #Steelers complained about last year. It was taken from the Superdome after Sugar Bowl this year.

Safe to say people on both teams are pissed right now. #Packers and Colts didn't want to play this game anyway.

Preseason games have been cancelled before due to turf issues. Eagles-Ravens in '01. This is a bigger stage & embarrassment, obviously.

There is an issue with the field in Canton causing a lengthy delay. Warmups have not started, and fans have not been let in yet.

Players who were on the field are now heading back to the locker room. There have been lengthy discussions with executives near midfield.

Both teams have exited the field and the big brush that was being used to sweep the field has been removed. Not looking good.

Issue isn’t rubber pellets themselves, it’s that the paint on the field has done something to make them rise and cause sticky soft spots.

Both organizations very concerned about playing surface and there are real questions about whether tonight's game will be played.
