When I originally titled this article the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers game had been postponed because of hurricane Jeanne. It appears that the game will be played on Sunday as planned, however the time has been changed to 8:00 pm EST.

I was hoping that the game would be played on Monday or Tuesday night, because of safety concerns as well as the welfare of the players and their families, those who work the games, and those within the community. Sometimes sports needs to take a backseat, when tragedy of any kind occurs, just even if it is for a day.

Hopefully things will be okay and no safety issues should arise. Everybody understands that professionals athletes for the Pittsburg Steelers and Miami Dolphins are highly paid, but they are also human. It is hard to imagine that not one of them either have something directly invested or a loved one that has been affected by this tragedy caused by hurricane Jeanne.
