"I think it's retarded. I probably shouldn't say that. I think it's stupid," he told reporters after the Ravens arrived in New Orleans for Sunday's Super Bowl. "If you want a Super Bowl, put a retractable dome on your stadium. Then you can get one.

It's appropriate to call it retarded as it will hinder the festivities.

He has a point. Contrary to what many believe, playing a game in sub-zero temperatures isn't the greatest thing in the world.

I love watching football in inclement weather. I think it's great a SB is being played outside in a northern city. Football the way it was meant to be played in February.

Cincinnati is my favorite team and I'm so glad they and Pittsburgh didn't build domes when they upgrade their stadiums. Kudos to NY for doing the same.

He is right. Its the dumbest decision ever made in the history of NFL and htat is saying a lot. there is no reason to have a SB in NJ in cold weather.

I'm so sick of what this league has become

The State isn't restricting his speech.

You can always say whatever the hell you want, just recognize that there will always be consequences for what you say.

I love it. I think every team should be a round robin for the Super Bowl. The game was meant to be played in the elements.

The best thing about a Super Bowl being in a cold/rain/winter setting is watching all the pompous Sportscaster whine & bitch for an entire week straight while they have to work outside.

I agree just as long as the Saints aren't playing.

And after the ADA speaks its mind, the PPACA is going to have at him.

He's right. Can't believe Flacco said something kinda interesting and was so accurate.
