New York Giants:Road to Superbowl XLII

This here is a review of just disc 4, the NFC championship game vs. the Packers at frost bitten Lambeau Field where game time temperature dropped to a toasty -1. Third coldest game in NFL history. Oh, and a wind chill of -23. On this January 20th, 2008 night it was actually 23 degrees at the north pole but -1 in Green Bay! Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are the play by play men taking us through these 4 quarters and the deciding overtime when Laurence Tynes reverses the 2 previous missed field goal attempts by dunking a 47 yard long boy through the Green Bay uprights, sending a lot of Lambeau faithful home on a very cold night in Wisconsin and putting the victorious Giants on a plane to the Super Bowl. I like watching a football game in inclimate conditions and this one really fit the bill with the dirty yellow turf, the jumbo-sized, bare meat arms of the linemen...constant visible breath jetisoning from the players mouths and the apple red cheeks of Giants head coach Tom Coughlin. It's sad watching Brett Favre taken down to defeat but it is exhilarating watching the young Eli Manning take his team on a journey that no one had them pegged for. But for me, the piece de resistance of this dvd is the seemless splice job NFL films has done to exorcize the brutal momentum killing commercials that are foisted upon the fans at any break in the action. Watching this on dvd you see the game and ONLY the game with nary an ad in sight the entire game. It is sheer p l e a s u r e. This dvd is the antidote to what we have to suffer through during the live broadcast. It's the BEST way to watch a game! NO COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!!                                    8/27/08
