So the Super Bowl is going to New York City in 2014. Many of the media and fans alike are concerned about the impending cold weather that could occur at that time of the year and especially in the Big Apple when you can get smashed with a Nor'easter at any time in the winter months. Let us look at another scenario. That is 4 years from now. The direction the National Football League is taking, the Super Bowl may not be played until late February in 2014. Let us not forget back in the mid 1980's, the Super Bowls were played in the Mid to Late January time frame. It seems it keeps getting moved back from early to mid February. With the possibility of a 17 or 18 game schedule, this would push the Super Bowl back 1 to 2 weeks. With the potential of adding another team into the playoffs in each division, this scenario may push the Super Bowl back another week. Do not forget the NFL Draft was held in Late February back in the 1970's and into the 1980's. Now the draft is the last weekend in April. What if this all occurs, the Super Bowl may be played on the final Sunday in February or even the first Sunday in March. I am not a meteorologist, but after Valentine's Day, the average daily high temperature begins to rise in the Northeastern states. The NFL is taking a gamble with the weather at this time of the year but do not forget a few years ago when the Super Bowl was held in Atlanta, that city had a significant ice storm the day prior to the Super Bowl. The powers in the National Football League may have this all figured out after they have studied the Farmer's Almanac.
