Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell has raised eyebrows Sunday when he complained that the Philadelphia Eagles NFL has scheduled games against the Minnesota Vikings because of the snowstorm that paralyzed much of the East Coast.

Coming into this a bit exaggerated, Rendell has suggested that Chinese football fans would be hot, walking in the snow for the game, and that mathematical equations, while the U.S. postponed the NFL game Sunday.

Here are some of the choicest of prolonged exchanges between Rendell Monday selected sound bytes and show anchor Mike Missanelli:

Rendell: Maybe it's because I am old, and I confess that I am old. But it just goes against everything all about football.

I played football. I played in the snow. Fans can judgments. You can decide if they will play or they will go home after a little slower, take Broad Street, which was good last night. It is the fans.

Rendell: We are a nation of wuss. The Chinese are our asses to get in at all. Will Bunch is good to read what Will Bunch wrote?

Rendell: What do you think Lombardi would say? He said we are a nation of wimps.
