People always complain about heat+humidity, and I've been in Miami when it's 90 degrees and raining... it's definitely disgusting.  But 100+ with wind is no picnic either; it's like a hair dryer in your face as a heat lamp shines on you.  When you're wearing dark pants and you have to continually rub them to cool them down enough to stop burning you, that seems at least as bad as any humidity I've ever been in.

Southeast heat vs. Southwest heat basically comes to what your preference is (or isn't): sauna vs. oven.

I felt like I was in a convection oven standing in the monorail terminal

The monorail in Vegas isn't air conditioned??

The first time I stepped off the plane in Iraq it was 118.  Someone said it was a "dry heat".    I replied, "An oven is dry heat too, but I don't want to spend the next 6 months in one of those, either."

I've never been to Las Vegas but I do realize there is a reason they don't hold sporting events in the desert. hahaha

Some one needs to tell that to FIFA.

They knew that too but felt the bribes made it worth risking.  Shocked

Hopefully the Raiders will build a domed stadium or at least one with a retractable dome.

With the Dolphins opening the season 2-0, it got me a little optimistic so I decided to look at their schedule.  I was happy to see their only cold weather game this year is the last week of the season against the Bills.

Patriots sideline topped 120 degrees yesterday in Jax even though the game started at 4:20 pm. Not sure if it hurt them but it certainly didn't help them.

Jax was wearing their darks, so NE was better off than they might have been.

I thought I saw a graphic that Brady is like 1-8 when the temperature is over 87 degrees.

EDIT:  It's 1-6...here's a graphic from before the JAX game...also look who's on that list the most Cheesy

Not exactly a shocker that most of Brady’s hot weather games are in Mia rather than Buffalo or NJ. 

I am also okay with the idea Brady’s archillies heal being hot weather as it is rarely an issue in the post season. (AFCCG against Colts being an exception)

Patriots recovered from several of those games to later in the season hoist a Lombardi later in the season so I am not sweating the lose.

Following the Dolphins win over the vaunted Bears Defense yesterday, the talking heads this morning were putting a lot of credit to the heat.  Rex Ryan in particular called early season games in Miami one of the best home field advantages in the NFL that's rarely talked about; pointing out how the visiting team is in the sun the entire afternoon.  They indicated they believed the Bears' defense was gassed in the second half, which led to a big advantage for Miami.
