You can play football in the rain, sleet and snow? What the hell could be so wrong that made them cancel. This is football not baseball, they can play it in a mud puddle. Friggin Primadonnas

The paint they used at the midfield logo and in the end zones was like concrete. Players couldn't get footing.

The paint used to paint the logos on the field was the wrong paint. Players cleats could not penetrate the paint....One quotes was that is was like taffy. Both end zones and mid-field were like this.

Nice... as it is the game really doesn't need to be played. High School All-Star game of possible future NFLers would serve nearly as well.

But that paint thing.. just wow. That's a get your ass fired thing.

Tell that to the rookies and free agents trying to make the team. Article says they used heat to try and dry the excess paint. Which in turn melted the rubber pellets. That field probably has to be torn up and replaced. Someone's in big trouble.

I guess they never used that paint before?

Probably new "green" paint that is easier on the planet. Now they'll generate ten times the pollution fixing it.

You tossers!

OK, I'm supposed to paint a football field and all I care about is the NFL logo. Grass, turf, aeration, temporary, wash away? Stop messing me up with details!!! Just give me the cheap paint you would use on your garage floor. And I have a coupon.

This may be one of the more embarrassing stories I've ever read based on incompetence...
