Thread: Hurricane forces NFL to eye options for Eagles-'Skins

The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins are set to square off at FedEx Field at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday. Hurricane Joaquin might have a say in whether that game gets played as scheduled.

NFL officials are tracking the hurricane, which is pressing northward after hammering the Bahamas.

"We are monitoring the forecast and having dialogue with both teams," a league spokesman told NFL Media.

Meteorologists are still unsure whether Joaquin will hit landfall on the East Coast over the weekend, but believe the odds are increasing, per the Weather Channel. It could become the first landfall hurricane to hit the U.S. in 15 months.

The folks in the Carolinas are used to these things but the wusses further north don't know how to handle a hurricane. By the time it gets that north, it won't be much more than a windy thunderstorm but just watch how apeshit everyone in the media gets practically rooting for the next Katrina.
