Ok, does anyone else wonder about this:

Hurricane Wilma is due to hit Florida on Sunday. There was an NFL game scheduled between the Dolphins and the Chiefs for that day so they decided to move it. But instead of switching to KC, or a neutral area, they move the game UP to this evening. And all the local news stations that are reporting on this seem to think the big issue is how well will the Chief's be able to play after traveling on game day.

Huh?

There is a hurricane coming! People are already evacuating from Florida!! Shouldn't the priorty be getting folks out and/or secured for the hurricane rather than a football game? Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate a good football game, but that would just not be my priority right now if I was in Florida.

Dick Vermeil agreed with you. He was on the Topeka news last night bitching to reporters about having to fly on the day of the game, right into the teeth of the storm.
