UPDATE: The game between the Vikings and the Eagles will be televised nationwide by NBC. No issues with DirecTV or anything of that nature.
UPDATE: The game between the Vikings and the Eagles has, indeed, been postponed until Tuesday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 PM Central time at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
↵What, you didn't think the Vikings were just going to have a normal weekend of playing football or anything, did you? Yeah, right. . .like that's going to happen to this team this season.
↵No, with the blizzard that has been moving up the East Coast this weekend and is scheduled to bring 40 mile per hour winds and a foot of snow to the Philadelphia area today, the game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles that is scheduled to take place at approximately 7:30 PM Central time this evening is in danger of being postponed, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, among others.
↵This game was inexplicably flexed into a prime time slot a couple of weeks ago. . .presumably so that people could watch Michael Vick run around and whoop up on an undermanned and overmatched Minnesota defense as part of his MVP campaign. . .and now it looks like it might get pushed back to Monday night. I would assume that it would take place on Monday night, anyway. I can't confirm or deny that one way or the other.
