Hall of Fame Game cancelled.

Holy fucking hilarious shitshow. It sounds like they painted on the midfield logo so thick that it turned into a hard, slick, slab.

Fucking morons. I was kind of pumped to watch some football, regardless of how shitty the game was guaranteed to be.

[DMelt36]

I didn't realize this actually happened.

youd think they could just chop it out and replace it... sod or turf.

Earlier Sunday, Schefter noted the game was in doubt, as players believed the field was "unsafe" and as "hard as concrete" in spots.

The playing surface in the end zones and middle of the field was the primary concern. Schefter reported the paint began to congeal, noting that it "would be like playing on tar."

The chicago park district do the sod and paint for the Hall of Fame game? It would make sense.

Should cancel all of next week too.

Most of the players may appreciate not having to play in the preseason game, but I doubt the coaches and front office appreciate missing the opportunity to evaluate their depth in a live game.

True, but an extra week of reps and system implementation can't hurt any.

Damn. I was looking forward to a season ending injury to another Packers douche.
