.... sniffle sniffle.....  Good times...
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! - Rocky Balboa

 REally some great memories. (and somethat were not so great, but they ARE our history)
I hate to include the word NASTY, but that is part of being a winning football team.

The good and the bad are what make Giant fans real. It makes us appreciate what is happening now. It was kind of interesting to see all the bailouts (not economic) after two losses. Having been through the "seventeen years of bad football" you know who the true blue fans are. This video was really nostalgic.

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

So many of those plays were before my time.  I wish I knew what every segment was.

Mighty, that was just GREAT!  I REALLY enjoyed several of the clips, especially the following:
1.)  The TD pass in the GREAT final game of the '58 season; the game where the Giants won in the snowstorm to tie the Browns for the Eastern Title (on Summerall's 50+ yard FG).
2.)  Reason's fantastic hit at the goal line against the Broncos.  (I think it was in '89.)
3.)  A couple of pix from the '56 NFL Title game.
You even had one of Mel Hein in practice.
THANKS!
