		<description>&lt;em&gt;The Seahawks similarly seem to love the rain in Seattle.&lt;/em&gt; 

That guy doesn&#039;t know what he&#039;s talking about. The Seahawks&#039; first &lt;em&gt;28 games&lt;/em&gt; at Qwest field were rain-free - in fact, the first time it ever rained on a game in that stadium was Oct. 23 against Dallas - a game the #1 offense in the league won 13-10. It&#039;s the 12th Man that makes their home field so advantageous, not the weather (though better knowledge of how the wind works in there is certainly a factor).</description>

		<description>I agree with you that the leagues will have to address this soon.  It will be an interesting, and heated battle when it happens.

In a sense it is similar to the  telecommunications systems that teams use.  When one side loses theirs, the other has to go without until the problem can be fixed in order to keep things fair.

I can&#039;t see how a similar fix is possible with the JumboTrons.  As the piece pointed out, their primary purpose is entertainment, and that&#039;s where pocketbooks become involved.  Even instant replay is a help in keeping the TV generation entertained between plays.</description>
