Mr. WEO Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 For everyone who commented on the SB field being slippery because of "paint"...not so! A very disgusted Sodfather explains....as he shreds his colleague to ribbons! https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35754546/ex-nfl-groundskeeper-george-toma-super-bowl-lvii-field-was-overwatered "So, what he does," Toma said, referring to Ed Mangan, the NFL field director who was in charge of the Super Bowl field and worked under Toma for years, "he waters the hell out of it and puts it right into the stadium and that's it. Never sees sunlight again. He can't do that." "It had a rotten smell," he said. Toma also alleged that Mangan did not sand the field enough. "He sanded it two weeks too late," Toma said. "He had only one sanding. He should have had two or three sandings, but he didn't do *****. And that was it. And not only that, he didn't take care of it. He wouldn't listen to anybody." "I can't take it anymore," said Toma, who said he hasn't been pleased with how the NFL responded to field issues at Super Bowl sites in the past. "Me and the league are finished," Toma said. "They can't tell me what to do anymore. We're done." 4 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think a 5 minute article is worth as much as a PhD. I meant "age" as in "era." But I don't blame Google - it's just a tool. Certain people in high-profile positions have a financial stake in keeping the masses uninformed, so they've intentionally fostered the environment you described. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I mean, I'm not a grass expert but if what Toma said was correct, the new NFL director is stupid. My last house, I had the best grass in the neighborhood. I bought a new house with nothing but weeds, I'm sodding in the spring. I will send my before and after photos to the NFL along with my application. I'm never a "I'm smarter than the experts" kind of guy but I'm 100% sure I would have had the grass better that what this NFL Director did....they allowed fungus to grow because they didn't give it enough sunlight after watering it. That legitimately is stupid, I'm sorry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I need to get George Toma's expertise on my lawn STAT. Grows like crazy in some areas, dry patches and dead grass in others..etc.. He'd probably rip me to shreds like Gordon Ramsey does to sloppy chefs.. but it'd be worth it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
