There have been a good number of memorable snow games over the years in the NFL. Bob I am sure you can recall the Thanksgiving game between the Dolphins and Cowboys back in the 90s where the field was covered in snow. That was the game where Leon Lett blew it for the Cowboys. I think it was in 1993. The most recent major snow game I recall, before last night, was in December of 2022 when the Dolphins played at the Bills. Though not as bad as the weather last night. I feel like there might have been one last year but I can't recall off the top of my head. Then there is the famous playoff game between the Raiders and Patriots where the fumble was overturned into an incomplete pass via the Tuck Rule, and the Patriots Adam Vinatieri hits a 45-yard FG into the wind in the blizzard, still considered by many to be the greatest FG kick in NFL history. While it looked like the Patriots season was over, they instead went on to win the Super Bowl, the first for Brady. While most of the snow games I think are in Buffalo, New England, Cleveland, or Green Bay, there have been others. The Lions played in a snowstorm when they visited the Eagles in 2013, and there was the terrible game in Giants Stadium back in 1995 where the Giants fans were throwing snowballs at the Chargers players, one of them was an iceball that injured a cameraman. I remember some snow games in Chicago, Seattle, Denver, and Kansas City. Maybe Pittsburgh also.

Update on the Ovechkin injury, it is worse than originally reported. He has a cracked fibula and is now expected to miss 4-6 weeks. That timeline puts him possibly out of the lineup until after the first of the year. It is a tough break for Ovi and the Capitals, both who have started out very strong. Ovi's 15 goals are the most by any player in the league this season entering today. The Capitals played the Avalanche on Thursday and lost 2-1. Other winners on Nov 21 were the Golden Knights, Bruins, Red Wings, Devils, Blue Jackets, Blues, Flames, Blackhawks, and the Wild beat the Oilers 5-3.

Snow game in Cleveland! Browns score a late TD to pull an upset against their longtime rival the Steelers. Final score was 24-19. We do not get many snow games in the NFL, but I love it when we do, I always enjoy watching football in bad weather. Snow, rain, wind...makes it more fun.

Five games in the NHL on Wednesday, three end in shutouts. Leafs 3-0 over Knights, Sabers 1-0 over Kings, and Kraken 3-0 over Preds. Other scores were Stars 5-2 over Sharks and Hurricanes 4-1 over Flyers. Since it was a slower night in the league that means there is usually a busy one the next day, and there is, ten games on the schedule for Thursday.

Is a user allowed to react to a post with more than one "like?" For example, if I wanted to post a "like" and a "thanks" are both supposed to show? I tried doing that and it only would show the most recent one I posted.

The Jets continue to put the Win in Winnipeg, tonight's 6-3 victory over defending champion Florida puts the Jets at 16-3, their 32 points are the best in the league with Minnesota and Washington next at 27. The Jets Morgan Barron scored two empty net goals in the third. It is rare to see a player score two empty netters in one game. They were the first two goals of the season for Barron, and his first career two goal game. Barron is a hard-working 4th liner who doesn't score much but does a lot of other stuff to help the team. He is one of my favorite players and every time I watch him, I see an honest effort. Wild win in St. Louis, two goals by Kaprizov, now at 13 for the season, third most in the league. He is clearly the best player on the Wild and one of the young stars in the league. Minnesota improves to 12-3-3, second place in the central behind the Jets. Lightning win in OT against the Penguins, Oilers beat the Senators 5-2 behind two goals by McDavid (8 and 9), and one by Draisaitl (14). Three games active as of this posting. The Rangers and Canucks tied 2-2 in the first, Islanders lead the Flams 1-0 in the second, and Ducks lead the Blackhawks 3-2 in the third.

Welcome to the forum, @rtiq I see this is your first post. Thanks for joining us. It looks like you have done a lot of research about this, what is your main goal for training? If it is physical fitness them almost any martial arts style would be helpful. Since you don't want forms, you might consider Muay Thai, to my knowledge, and I am no expert, there are no Katas in MT. There are some high kicks, can I ask why you are looking to avoid high kicks? If it is a physical limitation, I would inform any instructor about that when you meet with them. I am sure there are members here who can help you with questions about MT, I only took a trail class once and it was a fantastic work out. Another style you might look for is traditional Hapkido. Tough to find in the USA, if that is where you are, but if you can find it you will see it incorporates a lot of what you are looking for. It does falls, rolls, throws, standing joint locks, low kicks, punches, blocking, and weapons. It is an all-encompassing style, excluding forms, at least that is how we were taught it, but there was no sport element, so if your heart is set on competition then it won't be for you. Hope this helps a little bit. I always tell people that best MA is the one that fits what you are looking to get of your training. I am know some of the more experienced members and martial artists on this site will have a lot of good suggestions. Thanks again for posting.

It has been so bad for the Cowboys this year even the stadium is having a bad season. A few hours before the game a piece of metal fell from the roof and onto the football field. Thankfully nobody was injured. I remember years ago when the Metrodome roof caved in because of the snow and wind. There was a hole in the roof and the snow fell on the field as the entire place deflated. Thankfully it happened around 5am and nobody was in the building at the time, but it required the Vikings to finish the season at the University of Minnesota stadium, outdoors. They played in the same stadium for several years while the new dome was being build.

The NFL power rankings are out for week 11 and for the FIRST TIME EVER the Lions are at #1. It doesn't matter much and says nothing about what will happen the rest of the season, but at least for this week the Lions are considered the best team in the NFL! The Lions have never been the best team in the NFL in my lifetime. Their last championship was in 1957. With zero Super Bowl apparencies, they are the only team in the NFL that has existed during the entire Super Bowl era that has never played in the big game. Last year was the best team the Lions ever had, and they almost made it. So far this year they have been far better than last year. Maybe this is finally the year they break the cycle.

Update on the Ovechkin injury, he is listed as "week to week" which means his timeline to return is unknown, but unlikely he will play in the Capitals next game which is Thursday. The Boston Bruins have fired head coach Jim Montgomery who was in his third season. It has been a slow start for the Bruins 8-9-3, a team that had preseason expectations of competing for the Stanley Cup. Joe Sacco will take over as the interim coach.

Spoiler alert It was disappointing to me that Robbie won the fight and eliminated Cobra Kai, then in the next episode Cobra Kai was gifted another chance and stayed in the tournament. In hindsight I guess it should have been obvious, but it felt to me like the perfect way for CK to end their reign. Robbie Keene, the son of Cobra Kai's best student, puts them to sleep for good. That is how it should have ended. There was a lot of buildup during the episodes about Silver and Kreese fighting, a fight I was looking forward to, but we never saw it fully conclude. I am interested in the background of Miyagi fighting in the tournament, and hope that this is explained further in the episodes, and in the potential prequel.

Good points. This is why you are member of the month.

Time to bring back Joe Girardi????????????????????

Two more goals for Ovechkin tonight in the Capitals 5-2 win in Utah. Ovi has been on a hot streaking, scoring five goals in two games and only 18 games into the season already has 15 goals, much above his slow start from last year. At 868, he is now 27 goals behind Gretzky for the record. If Ovi keeps this pace, which is unlikely, he will pass Gretzky this season. If he does not pass him this year next season seems inevitable. As the saying goes "records are made to be broken." During the win Ovi did suffer a lower body injury in the third period, he tried to come back into the game but was not able to. The extent of the injury is unknown at this time. As for Utah, they started off strong but have hit a skid, losing five of seven and falling under .500. Other winners on Monday were the Canadians, Blue Jackets, Ducks, and Avs, the Sharks lead the Red Wings right now in the third.

Tough night for the Cowboys as they continue to struggle. A home loss of 34-10 to the Texans, Cowboys fall to 3-7 and are the only team in the league without a home win this season. They become the first team in NFL history to trail by 20 points or more in six consecutive games. The game was loaded with penalties from both sides, including several scrums late in the game. I can't remember the last time I watched a game with so many flags thrown. Dallas visits Washington on Sunday, then play at home against the 2-8 Giants on Thanksgiving. The Giants have benched starting QB Daniel Jones. NY has had a rough season as well; they are 2-8 and in last place, so both teams in NY are having long seasons.

Well thank you If that is a real position I accept

The fight stunk and so did the broadcast. Nine months of hype only to fall flat. A dumpster fire.

The gym is now closed for the next three weeks as they do some remodeling. Maybe I will get some of those resistance bands and work out at home.

The Chiefs win streak has come to an end, losing in Bufalo on Sunday 30-21. It is the first loss for KC since Christmas Day. Their 9-1 record is still best in the AFC, though the Bills are kind of a quiet 9-2 and now have the tie breaker, so it could come down to the final week to see who gets the top seed. Detroit won again, as the Lions ate the Jaguars for lunch, 52-6. Eight wins in a row for the Lions and now they have the longest winning streak in the NFL, but still only up one game on the 8-2 Vikings. Minnesota is another team that has quietly been very good. As for the Jags, I question if Coach Doug Peterson will make it to the end of the season. Another loss for the Jets, now 3-8, they came up just short against the Colts 28-27. Other winners were the Rams, Steelers, Dolphins, Saints, Packers, Broncos and Seahawks. Chargers and Bengals are playing right now, Texans and Cowboys play Monday night.

Sorry to hear this. Life (and death) can be very cruel. It is sad when good people die so young.

D12 - Revelation

Toronto's enforcer Ryan Reeves has been suspended five games without pay for his illegal hit on Oiler's defenseman Darnel Nurse on Saturday. Nurse took a nasty hit to the head in a collision with Reeves which lead to Nurse bleeding on his jersey and Reeves being ejected. Toronto won the game 4-3 in overtime. Reeves is a veteran of the league and a known tough guy. This is not his first ejection, or his first suspension. He famously was ejected from a game in 2018 for a late shoulder to shoulder hit that injured Capitals forward Tom Wilson. He was also suspended for some playoff games a few years back in a scuffle with Ryan Graves of the Avalanche. This five-game suspension will cost Reeves over 35 grand in salary.

There were some great moments in episodes 6-9, but then in episode 10 it fell apart for me. It got over the top ridiculous and it feels like the show might be hanging on too long. Five more episodes are going to be released, rumored in February but this has not been confirmed yet, and then the series will be over. S6 E10 was not a bad episode, but just too much. I hope the show ends strong because, it would be a shame for the show to be great for so long then have a lousy ending.
