Look, I'm not saying the New York Giants don't have a chance against the New England Patriotswe all saw the Giants almost beat the Pats a few weeks agobut this is post-season play, and New England's playing for a perfect record. As it always is, Gearlog's solution for Giants QB Eli Manning is to use more technology. The following 10 gadgets could take Eli and Co. all the way to the top. Hut...hut...
Verizon G'zOne Type-S
This rugged handset lets Eli call his big bro for help when he's in a jam, and it's waterproof, Gatorade proof, blood proof, and presumably linebacker proof (though we haven't actually tested it against linebackers yet).
Aliph Jawbone
The Jawbone ensures that Eli doesn't even have to take off his helmet to chat with Peyton and get help with play calling. It's also noise-canceling, so it will drown out the legions of roaring Pats fans.
Pioneer Elite KURO PRO-150FDEli's going to want a large, crystal-clear display for watching game tape...lots and lots of game tape. This 60-inch plasma is perfect.
Garmin nüvi 760
This portable GPS unit has a cool "Where Am I" locator feature that will help Eli figure out where he is and reorient himself after he gets sacked. It also includes live traffic updates, should he decide to run the ball (not advised).
Nike+iPod
I'm not sure if they make these for cleats, but if so, the iPod/shoe combo would let Eli listen to "Eye of a Tiger" on third downs.
Panasonic ToughBook
This rugged laptop is perfect for liveblogging the game from the sidelines, and can withstand the occasional Gatorade splash or late tackle on the sidelines.
Amazon Kindle
Load the entire Giants offensive playbook onto a handy e-book reader! Perfect for a long flight to Arizona.
Panasonic HDC-SD5
This hi-def video camcorder with optical image stabilization is ideal for capturing Tom Brady's perfect form and execution.
Wii Madden '08
The motion-response gameplay mimics real football, but it's a lot easier than winning a Super Bowl in real life.
Segway X2
Great for getting off the field in a hurry.
Go Giants!
