Airports up and down the East Coast are shutting down ahead of the snow and ice, meaning the Arizona Cardinals are at risk of missing crucial practice time at the Carolina Panthers' stadium before the National Football Conference Championship game Sunday evening.

As for the team, it had been scheduled to fly from Sky Harbor International Airport to North Carolina today, but flights to Charlotte were reported canceled Thursday night.

Winter Storm Jonas is expected to start dumping snow on much of the mid-Atlantic today, although Charlotte's biggest problem is predicted to be icy conditions. A winter storm advisory is in effect for the area from Thursday night through Saturday evening, and North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory has declared a state of emergency ahead of the frigid weather.

But fear not, declares the Cardinals' website: it vows that he team now will fly out of Phoenix Saturday morning after the "Big Red Send-Off," a giant morning party at Sky Harbor.

I'm sure they'll continue to deny that any changes were made. But then why is the  send-off Breaking News?

NFC Championship send-off rally Saturday at Sky Harbor Airport

The Cardinals will host a send-off rally for the team as they leave for Carolina Saturday morning at Sky Harbor Airport. The rally begins at 10 a.m., and gates open at 9 a.m. Click here for all the details.

By the comments on their website after the rally article, seems Cardinal fans are surprised they aren't here yet.

Disrupted schedule, shot field, cold weather... this game is being served up to the team on a silver platter in almost every element we can't control.  Team really needs to make Palmer feel the impact of the cold, hard ground.  

 

I'll say this if we lose it means the Cardinals were much, much better than us because their style of play is going to be seriously hampered by conditions that heavily play into our style of play

Cool, just another reason to add to the list of reasons why the other team didn't win.

Yeah but I don't care what reasons they come up with just as long as we win the Super Bowl.  Their excuses mean diddly squat.

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
