But the officiating was horrendous throughout. The Giants had ZERO offense in the first half. I kept asking myself wtf is happening and is this all fixed.

Gah! That story was disgusting enough without the picture. They all look as inbred as the British royal family. Come to think of it, that is about the only reason they might do something that dimwitted...
