elavagame, (pronounced: 'ell of a game) Holy smokes that one gave me an ulcer... Excellent game. Had all the emotions I could want in one. The Giants didn't deserve to win that one. Actually the defense played rather well but the offense just kept giving the ball away. I'm surprised that my coffee table could stand up to the pounding that the palm of my hand was giving it. And those refs and their holding calls. Argh! My nerves are shot. What an emotional rollercoaster. It feels great that the Giants made the playoffs. For much of this season I didn't figure it would happen. I'm sort of glad we won't have any home games. That field is hideous. I guess this is the first time that I actually see the logic of the synthetic playing surfaces. It made me start thinking... I wonder why they don't make a natural sod surface where you lay some sort of plastic mesh or netting where the grass seed grows up through it. It would hold itself together but the grass would hide the mesh. It would help prevent those Tiger Woods sized divots from coming up with every step that a player makes when running and cutting on sod that hasn't had time nor the weather to root itself into the dirt. Perhaps I'm onto something... Or perhaps it's already been tried and failed... -AssTroTurfInventor
