@LennG was correct.  Yesterday's answer was Steve Own

Today's question:


Who was the first coach of the Giants?

The answer to yesterday's question (that no one got) was-  Bob Folwell



Today's is a tougher one.  In 2005, Tiki Barber broke the Giants' record for the longest run from scrimmage with a 95-yard run.  The previous record of 91 yards had lasted for 75 years.  Who set that record?

 You know, I know this one, just as a piece of trivia from years ago.

Hap Morgan with a 91 yard run and he DID'T score. (not sure of the year, but it was early on)

Len nailed it.

Here is a video on the man

The answer to that question was Rodney Williams. 

Today's question-  Charlie Conerly was the Giants' starting quarterback throughout most of the 1950s.  Which college did he attend?

Jerry Shay broken leg

Clifton McNeil Stick

@files58 was correct; Connelly was a Mississippi Rebel


Today's question: what is the full legal name of the Giants?

New York Football Giants

Impressive 


Yes, they are the New York FOOTBALL Giants, to differentiate them from the then New York based baseball team by the same name


Today's is a tricky one.  In 1930, the NY Football Giants played a famous college all-star team in a charity event in which the Giants were the underdogs (at that time, Pro football was the poor stepchildren to the college game).  The Giant's stunning upset, with Friedman running for two Giant touchdowns and Hap Moran passing for another, helped establish the legitimacy of the NFL.  Which college (bonus for the name of the famous coach) did the Giants play?

Quote from: Giant Obsession on June 25, 2024, 08:07:26 PMWHO AM I ????

I was drafted by the Giants in the 17th round.

My first preseason I caught 3 TD passes and made the practice squad heading into the season.

After learning the playbook I was activated in Week 8 and caught 4 passes for 90 yards and also had a TD reception nullified by penalty.

The next week my first start I caught 1 pass for 7 yards.

At practice that following week I severely broke my arm and was done for the season.

I played in 2 games that year.  I never played another game in the NFL.
 
My QB, who is in the Hall of Fame, said I had the same big play potential as Homer Jones.

I admittedly used the internet and still could not solve this one
