supergeeEarly in the Giants game yesterday, I told ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
womzilla, “This one’s gonna be fun: Neither team can run the ball, and neither team can defend the pass.” It was: 100 points, 13 TD passes, last team with the ball wins.
My opinion is not unanimously accepted. One good result of the Puppy Mess is that it got me reading George R.R. Martin’s lj (grrm). He did not like the game, for partisan reasons (Giants lost) and because he likes defensive football, which I don’t. Matter of taste. It occurs to me that a good defensive football game is like A Game of Thrones, a series I greatly admire and respect but is not my idea of fun: lots of hand-to-hand combat and such. My kind of football is more like space wars.
