GREEN BAY, Wis. Fake Shoes 2020 . -- Josh Boyd isnt into making a fashion statement, and he doesnt think he needs to go sleeveless to show off his toughness. All the Packers defensive lineman wants is to stay warm in the subzero weather when Green Bay hosts the San Francisco 49ers in an NFC wild-card showdown that could be one of the coldest playoff games in NFL history. So many intriguing story lines between these two NFC powers, and yet the arctic cold may trump them all. "Yeah, Im definitely going sleeves," said Boyd, a rookie from Mississippi. "I mean, I dont see it as a tough guy thing. I just see it as being comfortable." The National Weather Service forecast called for a high temperature in Green Bay on Sunday of 2 degrees, with north-northwest winds making it feel more like minus-15 to minus-20. The coldest NFL game on record is the 1967 championship game, known as the "Ice Bowl" won by the Packers 21-17 over the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field on New Years Eve. The temperature dipped to minus-13, and the wind chill that day was minus-48. This might be little consolation to Boyd, for whom cold games in college meant playing in 30- or 40-degree weather. "Im from Mississippi, so this is a whole other animal," Boyd said. "Ive never seen negatives until I got here." Linemen are renowned for toughing out inclement weather without sleeves under jerseys. Dont want to give the opponent even the slightest idea that youre soft, the line of thinking goes. Well, 49ers defensive tackle Justin Smith is as tough as they come, and even he might wear sleeves for what he estimates would be just the second or third time in his 13-year career. "Youre not going to have an advantage having no sleeves. Youre not going to scare the opponent," said Smith, who has 6 1/2 sacks. Across the line of scrimmage, centre Jonathan Goodwin said he had no problem wearing sleeves. "I gave up on the dont wear sleeves to look tough a long time ago," he said. In some ways, players might be warmer than the 80,000 fans expected to pack frigid Lambeau. Once they get to the sideline, players can take a break on heated benches. Theyll likely wear long, heavy coats while not in the game. "This is not the norm. Anytime you get outside the norm for whatever your occupation, its obviously challenging mentally and physically," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "Thats definitely going to be the case Sunday." Footing on the field will be a key issue. Lambeau does have a heating system buried beneath the turf, encompassing 30 miles of pipes. There was supposed to be a brief "break" in the cold snap with temperatures rising into the upper 20s on Saturday, which McCarthy said would give groundskeepers a key day to work on the field. "It could be just a normal game thats played at a little slower pace. Or it could be where theres a lot of slipping and sliding going on, then you have to adjust a little bit," 49ers defensive co-ordinator Vic Fangio said. "You need to wait to see Sunday exactly see how the field affects the game." Another key for players will be to stay hydrated, though McCarthy jokingly put his index finger to his lips as if to tell a reporter to not let out the secret when asked the question Friday. "Weve seen it in past games where guys do cramp, so yes, its all part of our preparation," McCarthy said. If not for the arctic front marching into Wisconsin, more of the attention before Sundays game might be focused on 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernicks mastery of Green Bay in the teams last two meetings. Or quarterback Aaron Rodgers triumphant return from a left collarbone injury to help the resurgent Packers get back into the playoffs. Instead, San Francisco and Green Bay will have to deal with an unwelcome extra opponent: the bitter cold. Packers defensive lineman Mike Daniels seems to subscribe to the sleeves-are-soft philosophy. He doesnt like wearing them and plans to just play through the big chill and block out the conditions. And dont get him started on hand warmers. "I see offensive linemen with hand warmers, that tells me about them, man," Daniels said. "A defensive line coach in college said that, so I kind of kept that mentality." Discount Shoes For Sale . According to a report from ESPN, sources said Manuels college coach Jimbo Fisher told teams he didnt think Manuel had the tools to be an NFL starter. Cheap Shoes Free Shipping .A. Happ? Happs seven wins are second on the staff to Mark Buehrles 10. Win-loss record is an antiquated stat, sure, but win total is generally an indication of a pitchers ability to work deep into games, enough to be personally affected by the result. http://www.wholesaleshoesusa.com/ . Alexander was released last week by the Edmonton Eskimos, where he spent the past three seasons at safety. He had 121 defensive tackles, five special teams tackles and seven interceptions in 51 regular-season and three playoff games.PHILADELPHIA -- A rare morning start didnt bother the Flyers, who jumped out over a sluggish Jets team that couldnt get going until it was too late. The Jets didnt just lose the game. Evander Kane left the game in the second period and did not return. He sustained a lower body injury in the first period during a collision with Braydon Coburn. Scott Hartnell opened the scoring 48 seconds in and Steve Mason stopped all but one shot as Philadelphia skated to a 2-1 victory over Winnipeg on Friday. As soon as he got the ice for his first shift, Hartnell found an unattended puck in front of the Jets net and immediately slapped it past Ondrej Pavelec to put the Flyers up, 1-0. "I just shot it as hard as I could," Hartnell said. "Ill take it. Its nice on your first shift, right in the slot theres a little present waiting for you there." Mason turned away 25 shots in the matinee that began at 11:30 a.m., including an impressive pad save on Matt Halischuk on a 2-on-1 chance in the second period. He improved to 3-0-1 in his career against the Jets (12-12-4). The Flyers (11-12-2) won their fifth straight game at home after dropping their previous two on the road at Florida and Tampa Bay. "Its huge," Mason said. "Our Florida effort was terrible. Both games were lacklustre, so to come home and get a big win before we go on the road for (12) days is a step in the right direction." Both Flyers goals came off Winnipeg turnovers. Hartnells score was the Flyers lone goal in a dominating opening period in which they outshot the Jets 13-2. "Morning game, obviously the first period was one where we werent engaged in the game," Winnipeg coach Claude Noel said. "You dont know what to expect. ... Obviously it wasnt a great situation." Sean Couturier had a short-handed breakaway opportunity in the first period that Pavelec stopped with a right pad save. But in the second he once again forced a Jets turnover on the penalty kill, this time beating Pavelecc on a breakaway for his second goal of the year. Wholesale Nike Shoes. Couturier also played a big role on the Flyers penalty kill that held the Jets without a goal in six power-play opportunities. "I was really impressed with (Couturiers) effort," Mason said. "He stepped up his game." Michael Frolik finally put the Jets on the scoreboard with 7:07 left in the third when he slipped one by Mason in front of a crowded net. Peppered with 34 shots, Pavelec made 32 saves but fell to 7-4-1 lifetime against the Flyers. The Flyers, who entered with a power-play goal in eight consecutive games, also failed to score on four tries. They opened the second period with 1:25 of 5-on-3 time but couldnt manage a shot while up two men. Philadelphia has yet to score a 5-on-3 goal this season. "The 5-on-3 wasnt good," coach Craig Berube said. "Got to execute better and come up together. You cant be dumping (the puck) in on a 5-on-3. You got to do a better job. They know that." The loss snapped Winnipegs five-game winning streak against Eastern Conference teams and was just its second defeat in Philadelphia in eight games. "We just werent very good," Noel said. "Was that an early morning game? I dont know. That would be a poor excuse, because theyre ready to play." The win was an important one for the Flyers, who are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, but begin a six-game road trip Saturday night in Nashville. "Flying up to Canada, down south in Texas, were gonna have to get our rest and do the right things," Hartnell said. "Weve played solid on the road except for our last two games, and weve got to continue that and make this the best road trip of the year." NOTES: Flyers captain Claude Girouxs points streak ended at six games. ... Fridays meeting was the second of two between the teams this season. The Jets won in a shootout in Winnipeg 3-2 on Nov. 15. ... The Jets six-game road swing continues against the New York Rangers on Monday. ' ' '
