A Dark, Cold Day in Green Bay

Description

For those not up to speed in sports, here's an explanation:

In American football, teams have been celebrating big wins by dumping their big buckets of water or Gatorade on their coach since the New York Giants started it in the 1986 playoffs, en route to their Super Bowl XXI win over the Denver Broncos.

Now, take another aspect.  During the playoff season, things get pretty nasty-cold in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  Ask anyone who'd been at the Packers' game against the Dallas Cowboys in 1967, the infamous "Ice Bowl."  So named because the temperatures dipped as low as -15 degrees Fahrenheit, and that's not counting the wind chill!

Put the two together, and...well, the player on the right says it all.

Don't get me wrong, though.  I have respect for most of the other teams in the league, including the Packers, who at time of submission, had eliminated the Cowboys in the divisional round.  They get to come to Seattle for the conference title.

Based on an old drawing I did years ago.

Alternate result: Dallas wins by disqualification (advance to NFC Championship Game).

Reason: Frozen water killed the coach.

Consequence from NFL: Packers players banned from Pro Bowl, stripped of ALL of their picks in the upcoming Draft, ENTIRE TEAM banned from playing in the upcoming season (which includes preseason and regular season).
