Hall of Fame game canceled due to field concerns

The official return of pro football will have to wait another four days. The NFL canceled Sunday night's Hall of Fame game because of poor field conditions. The Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts are headed back home.

The disappointing decision came after player safety concerns arose. NFL Media's Steve Wyche reports that the midfield logo was the main area of concern. It recently was painted and it was slick and hard, according to several team officials.
 
The Steelers complained about the field conditions last year. SMH

Goodell has already turned a once great product into nothing more but just there entertainment. If it wasn't for the Steelers I would not give football a look. I hope our boys win that historic 7th and rub it in Goodel's greasy ***, patsy loving face

Lol. Judging by looks???

Nah. I've been watching too much Trailer Park Boys lately. They always say someone is "greasy" referring to a shady person. Lol. Good one though
 
From what I read it was the incorrect paint. Also the field was a hand me down from New Orleans but apparently the paint was the bigger issue. What a ****** joke. The youth football league I'm involved with put a turf on a field. I believe the cost was like 1.5 million. It was actually one of the largest in North America. So this would be smaller and you could use the highest quality. Say 2.5 or even 3 million. What is that to this outfit. Someone from that same organization won tickets and travel to the hall of fame game. Poor people.

Now if they would just cancel 2 more weeks of preseason games, we'd be onto something!
 
My interest in the NFL is at an all-time low. I didn't even realize the HOF ceremonies and game were this past weekend. I guess the Steelers have a pre-season game this week.

I can deal with three preseason games.

Game #1

A game that only plays rookies, 1st-year players, and backups with less than 3 years experience ( kickers and snappers play ). Sure the game will be sloppy and wild, but it will give the coaching staff a better idea as to who should make the team, while not risking any of the starters getting an injury.

Game #2. Starters play a half

Game #3. Starters play a half

No game #4, a week of rest.

I don't disagree with you....

My opinion on the matter of preseason would be
Wk 1 : 2 joint practices w/ scrimmages
Wk 2: 2 joint practices w/ scrimmages
Wk 3: 1 joint practice w/ game
Wk 4: game only
