People are going apeshit now that the NFL Hall of Fame game is canceled for tonight. The game was set for a 7 p.m. kickoff between the Packers and the Colts in Canton, OH., and the grounds crew reportedly messed up profusely on the paint job for the turf. For some reason, they just couldn't have it ready in time for the game's start time.

The field issues in Canton are melted paint on the field, plus concern over uneven surface. #packers

Crazy. Hall of Fame Game could be cancelled because paint created "tar-like" footing in center of field.#NFL pic.twitter.com/KrHPEz3LMf

I'm super disappointed that the Hall of Fame Game is going to get cancelled. Football must wait four more days.
