It is more than an "incoming snowstorm," it is the SNOWMAGEDDON, but okay. Via ABC News:

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Bills' wild-card game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers has been rescheduled to Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET instead of Sunday at 1 p.m. ET to prioritize safety in the region because of an incoming snowstorm.

The move was announced by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul at a news conference Saturday. The decision came after conversations with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, emergency response teams, Bills leadership and the NFL.

A winter storm warning is in effect for Buffalo and surrounding counties, including Orchard Park in Erie County, the site of the stadium. More than a foot of snow -- and as much as 3 feet -- is expected in the Buffalo area, according to AccuWeather, with winds potentially as high as 65 mph. A travel ban will be put in place at 9 p.m. Saturday.

Last season, the Bills had a game vs. the Cleveland Browns scheduled at Highmark Stadium moved because of snow and wind so that resources could focus on the Buffalo area. The game was played at Ford Field in Detroit.

As I periodically remind youse, I don't watch football. I think it's unethical and immoral. I don't want to watch people lose brain cells on purpose. BUT I am always happy when the global warming consequences of the Republican policies to which Trump-loving NFL owners donated throw a monkey wrench in their plans.

Ha, ha!
