Cold Favors the Giants

[Lurker64]

I just heard that the Giants plan to make a statement by wearing short sleeves.

Statement or not, that's pretty stupid. What's intimidating about "your arms are colder than mine"?

Bud Grant didn't allow heaters on the sidelines at the coldest stadium in the league.

Hell, I'd build a bonfire if I were coach.

[RashanGary]

non factor.


The wind in NE is a factor though.

weather channel says it's going to be 2*-4* (in G B) with light flurries and 10mph wind. what do the locals say?

[Scott Campbell]

If it helps keep the beer cold, it should help the Packers.

I'll drink to that!

they say, "yah hey!" and "bring me another beer once" and stuff like that.

Cold hurts the Giants. Manning has been horrible in cold weather. Favre is 43-5 in cold weather. Wind hurts the Packers.

BINGO BINGO BINGO

Heavy winds will damage our passing game. Cold will not. Favre and GB is just as prepared to play in the cold.

But heavy winds damage a good passing attack and can force the game into more of a power game....which gives NY a very good shot.

Like I said, I will take our defense against a run orientated New York Giants.

Although if they game plan for the Giants like they did for the Bears in the wind and the cold then the coaching staff should be hog tied to the Vince Lombardi Statue and beaten with a rubber hose.

A. Cold weather tires you out faster...your body isn't just working to run around, it is also working to stay warm. Mike Golic mentioned that this morning about how tired he would get after cold games.

This is BS...the heat saps your strength much faster...I can run much longer at a faster pace in the winter than I can in the summer. If your on the field playing your body will regulate its temp much better than if it was hot.

I'm not so sure about this. Heat makes you sweat and extreme heat is just discouraging but I think its harder to perform at 5 degrees than 80 degrees.

In the heat you sweat. How much energy does shivering take up?

It's a lot more discouraging, though. I would say you use more though, to keep your body warm.

I guess it's just the Norse in me...the cold is a pussy excuse.

Eighty is still in the warm range.....where as five is a little cold.
