NFL May move min/LA game to phoenix
https://www.12news.com/article...8a-a958-b9426abbbc2f Due to the wildfires in LA the Monday night game between LA rams and the MN Vikings may be moved to Arizona… that would be…. Odd I assume the loss of home field advantage would help Minnesota… yes?

Should be done already, although the stadium is far from the fires the first responders, cops and other infrastructure will be stressed by then. Also adding a bunch of fans at this time will not be helpful. Glendale is just down the 10.

Or they will respond as the Saints did after Katrina and play their best football.

My daughter and fam live about 15 crow miles from the Palisades fire. She is an elementary school teacher. She just told me that smoke and even ash is on and off unbearable. Whenever I go out there we make it a point to drive PCH up thru that area, exploring Malibu, Topanga Canyon and Sunset Blvd. I’ve been fortunate to have been in many beautiful places but the Palisades with its many fine homes, landscaping and magnificent trees and ocean is special. By the way for you golf fans, the...

@Pikes Peak Pacific Palisades is no more. Reportable rubble. I heard Getty Villa has double walls, underground storage and its own air filtration system to protect the art.

So much iconic history. An American treasure. So surreal. Bless and protect the first responders, firefighters, and everyone affected.

I had wondered why they wouldn't try to move it to the closest stadium (SF or LV, perhaps?), but they may have had a conflicting event that wouldn't allow it. I don't know if the Rams lose any HFA. California football fans tend to be apathetic Unless they're winning, of course. Then everybody is a "lifelong fan".

Sucks for Rams and fans but NFL needed to move game. Air quality is not good right now in LA County. Unstable situation with wildfires and winds. Hollywood Hills fire erupted last night, FD put that out and another one popped up in West Hills north of LA. Wondering if it's arsonists at this point. We know people in Pacific Palisades, CA who lost their home of 37 years, many restaurants gone, my favorite local hike area is toast. But our friends' Lutheran Church is still standing up on a...

That makes sense. Went to a CES in Chicago. Wild. Swag galore! And parties everywhere, if you knew the right reps. I imagine LV is light-years better.

The CES in LV probably stopped it from happening there.

AND IT’S ALL GONE….. and these emoji’s are stupid. I am just sick for them. I did just give to the Red Cross…not enough, as my limited income only allows a couple hundred dollars. Where are the billionaires now….. it just breaks my heart all the destruction caused by climate change. It’s getting worse and worse. I’m just so sad…..sick and soooooo sad.

See the "12's" in my neck of the woods. Word has it, they're now the "3's." And those fans in motor city.....they still have some woodwork stains on their jerseys.

Vikings fans were saying how this evens things out cause it was "unfair " that they had to play at LA.

Although it’s very unfortunate circumstances that the game had to be moved, it does seem like we caught a justifiable break here.

I'm going to drink 36 1/2 bottles of Zquil and wake up for the SB. I know that's what it may take to get there, but there is no way my mental make-up can take that run.

I'm good with either outcome in this game *IF* the Packers win tomorrow. I'd love to see 3/4 of the remaining NFC teams in our division. Now if the Packers lose tomorrow I'm all aboard the Rams bandwagon.
