Football stadium alert..did you guys hear?? Had to laugh..our commentator said bone dry.."wonder why they choose Oakland, Nobody gonna be there anyways!!" 
(CBS/AP) A Web site is claiming that seven NFL football stadiums will be hit with radiological dirty bombs this weekend, but the government on Wednesday expressed doubts about the threat.
This afternoon the Department of Homeland Security put out notices to National Football League and various state and local authorities detailing a non-corroborated threat, reported CBS News correspondent Bob Orr.
The Web site warning mentioned NFL stadiums in New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland and Cleveland, where games are scheduled for this weekend.
The Homeland Security Department alerted authorities and stadium owners in those cities, as well as the NFL, of the Web message but said the threat was being viewed "with strong skepticism."
Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said there was no intelligence that indicated such an attack was imminent, and he said the alert was "out of an abundance of caution."
