wonder if the Altitude impacts anyone.   It's over 2K feet higher than Denver. 

I was there in the  80's IIRC it is about 8000 feet and Denver is just over 5000 ft so thats 3 K. 

 

just looked it up  7,350 ft

Walking around for hours and climbing stairs carrying equipment was an effort

Shady and the avatar name are equally as cool, however you can easily tell when someone has not travelled too much...

First off thanks 

 

If you doubt my travel ....  

PM me and I will tell you the numerous countries I have traveled.    then because of where I worked ...  I'll have to silence you.  :D  thats the Shady part of me ;) 

 

I made it 3 weeks w/o drinking water in Mexico City, then one day I ordered a salad with dinner, something I don't normally do.  Montezuma's revenge hit hard that night.   I was working in the Federal District and I stayed at the Embassy Suites Mexico City - Reforma.    Out of 3.5 weeks  I was there I saw the mountains tops circling the city maybe 4 times. 

 

also... if you are a native of  Saddle Hill City Mexico

 

or a long time worker there you can get conditioned to the water and whats in it.

  • 26CornerBlitz changed the title to MNF: The NFL Marquee Matchup for Week 11 - KC (9-1) vs. LAR (9-1) Moved from Mexico City to the LA Coliseum

 

 

Chiefs-Rams Game Moved from Mexico City to L.A.

 

The highly anticipated Monday night showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams will no longer be played at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
 
The league announced Tuesday that the game featuring two 9-1 teams atop their respective divisions will now be played at the L.A. Coliseum on Monday, Nov. 19, because the playing surface at Estadio Azteca did not meet NFL standards.
 
"The decision is based on the determination -- in consultation with the NFLPA and following a meeting and field inspection this afternoon by NFL and club field experts as well as local and independent outside experts -- that the playing field at Estadio Azteca does not meet NFL standards for playability and consistency and will not meet those standards by next Monday," the league wrote in a statement.
 
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported earlier Tuesday that the league was monitoring the situation in Mexico City and was working with Estadio Azteca to ensure the field is up to league standards for next Monday's game.

Even if they're now playing in LA, I think that KC wins.  I think that they're better on offense than the Rams (especially with Kupp out), and the Rams defense seems to be surprisingly vulnerable in the last three games, giving up an average of 34.3 points in each.  They also seem vulnerable to teams with good running games (like the Saints that put up 45 on them).

How the NFL's chillest QB launched an offensive revolution

 

r461201_1600x800cc.jpg

 

In the midst of a wild three-year career arc that has taken him from rookie bust to MVP candidate, the Rams quarterback has learned to enjoy the ride. How far can his surge lift L.A.?
 
BY TIM KEOWN
 
A version of this story appears in ESPN The Magazine's November issue.
 
It's starting to feel like a revolution, and every revolution needs a frontman. Rams quarterback Jared Goff, under the progressive vision of head coach Sean McVay, is the leader of one of the NFL's most dynamic offenses. Just two years after 2016's top pick suffered through the turgid, sclerotic final days of the crumbling Jeff Fisher empire -- losing all seven of his rookie starts -- Goff is an ascendant star, an MVP candidate, a player who symbolizes the promise of the new over the stubbornness of the old.
 
"It's funny that the spread quarterback was seen as such a scary thing going into every draft," Goff says. "I played in the spread, Patrick Mahomes played in the spread, Deshaun Watson, Mitchell Trubisky -- the NFL is so stuck in its ways sometimes. If you don't innovate and adapt, you're going to be left behind. It's about coaches; how do you get the best out of your players? It's not by forcing someone to run what you want to run. It's how you can make A the best A can be."
 
This was a moment -- adapt or die -- and it called for something that's not exactly rampant in the NFL: men with the vision and confidence to change the paradigm. As it turns out, they didn't come to kill the game; they came to save it.

Yeah, that is horrible. I heard something this morning that they won’t use field turf  because they want the natural grass for soccer. I’m not sure if the NFL inked a contract for a string of games in Mexico but I don’t see the relationship lasting. They made the right move by taking the game out of there.

Well yeah they screwed up huge, I wouldn't schedule a game there for a long time. I'm sure the NFL is pissed! 

 

For some reason Madden has me always move the Buffalo Bills to Mexico City when I run out of money paying giant signing bonuses to avoid using cap. So.. don't let me ever own the Bills.

 

I don't sell enough hot dogs.

Oh boy, what a big surprise that Woods is a good blocker.

 

He only did that almost all the time while he was here.

 

...such an under-noticed but valuable trait for a WR in this league.

 

Not far behind:  RBs who can pick up blitzes.

 

He really enjoys that aspect of playing the position.

CB, it's a far cry from:

 

1.  Someone like Peterman having to tell Benjamin before the snap where to line up (which has happened on more than one occasion).

 

2.  Someone like Benjamin not knowing how to block...or even almost any of them  (don't get me started).  

 

Sorry for detouring into something that is bugging me.

His lack of effort in every aspect of playing the position is downright embarrassing and shows nothing but disrespect to his teammates.  He's a bum.  Apologies to all bums.

You know .... I haven't hear a lot about that since last Tuesday.... 

 

Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places, because here they come.

 

If you want to send us your address, we'll be happy to let them know you have some rooms waiting for them.

ah, was wondering how the field got so mucked up (pun intended)......

 

That was a Shakira concert. I heard that was 9 days ago, but NFL/Sirius today said it was a month ago.

 

Hard to imagine what the NFL has to do with moving the game. Mexico City generally packs the house, so now those tickets get refunded.

 

On the other hand, it won't be difficult to sell out KC v Rams in LA.
