Holmgren's ok, but I think I prefer the 'other' Hasselbeck:
Do I dare make the classic football joke about how I'm sure she would be a great 'wide receiver'?
Oops, looks like I just did. ;)

N.J. sod farm levels playing field for NFC championship N.Y. Giants to be on 'home turf' when they face Green Bay
NEWARK - The Green Bay Packers have the home field advantage in tomorrow's NFC championship game, but the famous frozen tundra of Lambeau Field was grown in the New York Giants' backyard in New Jersey.
Tuckahoe Turf Farms, a sod grower located between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, supplies grass for some of the country's most well-known sports venues, including Lambeau Field and Fenway Park.
James Betts, the grandson of the company's founder, said he'll be watching the game to keep an eye on "his" grass, which was snow covered for last week's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
"At first, it was a really big deal, but after a while you kind of just get used to it," he said.

The Giants did indeed have a great season, and I very much appreciate the fact that they beat Dallas and gave us the NFC championship game at home. Thank you!
As a Redskins fan, I thank you and the Pack for sending those jokers home to Seattle last week.
‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’

What does the sod matter when it’s frozen?
You are welcome.
If you guys do win (and I hope you don't) I will be rooting for you to end the 'perfect' season of the Patriots, the second most annoying team in the NFL, after the Cowboys.
Roger that!!
I never thought I would find myself saying this, but Go Chargers!
That was cruel!
Is the Vince Lombardi Rest Stop still as "safe" as it was 30 years ago? ;)
Being a refugee from New Joisey I must say I got a good laugh out of that.
And who are the Vikings playing this weekend?
Well, you're welcome, although I still have a soft spot in my heart for Holmgren and Hasselbeck. It wasn't Matt's fault that his receivers kept dropping passes, or that he had no running game, or that the Seahawks' defense was vastly over-rated.
Sunday Night:
Mostly cloudy, with a low around -5. Wind chill values between -15 and -20. West northwest wind between 5 and 9 mph.
Heh, heh, heh. Have fun, Giants...
...the look on Jerry Jones face...
How about the look of Jerry Jones’ face? He’s virtually ET after that plastic surgery.
As much as I’d love to see the Giants go into the belly of the beast and win I don’t see it happening. If the snow and cold don’t get the Giants the officials will. I’ve seen it happen too many times at that place to think otherwise.
True,
LOL!
Nice, I wonder what the wind chill will be, if it is coming in off of the lake just sitting in the stands will be miserable.

Loved last week's game. Thats football the way football SHOULD be played...........
I have vague memories of my dad once taking me to the old Briggs Stadium here in Detroit during the 50's for a football game when it was snowing........
When the field and stadium were upgraded last year there was 30 miles of piping installed 12-16” below turf so —
no more frozen tundra.
