The New York Giants are putting a bed issue to rest and it couldn't come soon enough. The team ended its three-week stay at the University of Albany Tuesday and some players are glad to get rid of their sacks.
According to a number of players, the beds that they used in training camp were too small or too hard and led to a rash of sore and injured backs.
It's a logical assertion when you consider most of the team stands over 6-foot-4 and tip the scales at least 300 pounds.
Some of the lucky players had full-sized beds, but the majority had to say nighty-night on twin sizes.
"I mean, we're big humans," said tight end Martellus Bennett. "Every bed is small. You can't put a damn dinosaur in a twin-sized bed, you know? Unless you've got a California king the bed's going to be small for these guys. A large, big human jumps into a regular-sized bed, the bed's too small."
A Giants spokesperson claimed nobody complained about the Jurassic problem until now and , if they had, the team would have likely bought them a new bed. That's what they did with Plaxico Burress when he was having back issues at camp in 2008— before he learned to sleep on a foam mat in the joint.
