It was a cold Week 17 in the NFL — as Del Rio can attest
The final weekend of the NFL's regular season produced some frozen water fails on television and some frostiness from Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis, who put Jack Del Rio in the awkward position of announcing his own firing.
First, the live television faux pas.
Both ESPN reporter Diana Russini at Gillette Stadium, and FOX's Jen Hale at the Meadowlands tried to show just how cold it was by turning over a glass of ice only to watch the water flow right on out during live takes.
"I filled this glass up with water about 15 minutes ago," Russini said. "And ..."
The water poured right on out.
"Here on the sideline, both staffs are having trouble keeping things from freezing up," Hale said as she dumped out her own cup of water.
