Anyone with functioning eyesight could see that the turf at the Super Bowl wasn't up to championship standards.
On Monday, the NFL's longtime chief groundskeeper agreed. And he laid out pointed accusations of who's to blame.
George Toma, aka "The Sodfather," spoke with ESPN's Josh Weinfuss on Monday about the slippery conditions at the Super Bowl that repeatedly caused players to lose their footing in the highest stakes game of the season. He blamed the NFL and its field director, Ed Mangan, for mismanaging the turf.
"So, what he does, he waters the hell out of it and puts it right into the stadium, and that's it," Toma said of Mangan.
