And with the Waterboys' "This is the Sea" as the background tune...nice!

Giants History / Re: Who are the Giants players on this 1972 SI cover?

I just remember Lee Roy Selmon as a fantastic DL, playing for a terrible team (sort of a Harry Carson equivalent), maybe the best of his day. I know SI's Dr. Z was a big booster for his HOF selection.

Excellent post, thanks.
Would that NFL analysis in the regular media come close to this level of analysis.

Giants History / Re: VIDEO- Highlights of the 1986 Vikings VS Giants game

That brought back memories. A couple of things stand out for me:
did anyone notice how that 1st down pass from simms to B Johnson on the last drive was similar to Manning-to-Tyree in the SB?
I had sort of forgotten how mediocre the Giants secondary was that season, especially when terry kinard got injured.
Simms really was a tough, gritty player.
Terry Bradshaw used to give good, incisive commentary. hard to believe.
Mighty, I woulfn't overestimate the importance of that play, though. Simms turned things around with an impressive 1984 season, when he played a whole season, made the playoffs with practically no rushing game to help him out, and passed for over 4000 yards. That 4th down pass to Johnson was one of many close calls that the Giants had down the stretch of thAT amazing 1986 season. Another one was the 21-17 win over the 49ers, on Monday Night I believe.
Thanks for posting that.

The OC was Bob Gibson, he was fired the DAY after the game, and never worked in football again. The play was entirely his fault; though Pisarcik, Csonka, and the Giants OL all contributed some incredible ineptitude in its execution.
The best coverage of this momentous and awful event is in Dave Klein's 1981 book "Giants Again".
