After seven months of waiting for football, we had to wait a little bit more.
Thursday night's NFL season opener between the Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos was delayed because of a lightning storm near Sports Authority Field at Mile High. The game began at 9:14 p.m. ET.
Leave it to NFL Media's Scott Hanson to put the news in proper perspective.
Last game -- not enough electricity. This one -- too much. #weatherdelay

UPDATE: OK, now this is getting eerie:
The 34-minute weather delay in the Ravens-Broncos game is the same length of the delay in last season's Super Bowl
