Roble: In honor of your creative video craves, I found a six and one half minute video that is FANtastic! It is memorable NYG moments with a catchy acoustic diddy in the background called This Is the Sea, play by the infamous Waterboys.(who the heck are/were they) LOL I do believe all will enjoy!!! Please post your opinions on the tribute.

Remember how excited you were when you heard the words, "With their 1st pick in the 2002 NFL Draft, the NY Giants select TE Jeremy Shockey from the University of Miami". I know I was. 8 years later, the surfer looking, high energy, mad-man will present a serious mismatch problem for Big Blue D. Where is Michael Boley when you need him? Shockey is currently the leading receiver in Nawlens high octane offense and his speed creates a major problem for us. Blackburn is a beast, and is physical enough to play with JS, however, he does not possess the foot speed necessary to "chase" him in coverage. Danny Clark may be faster, but still not quick enough imo. We will need to jam, jam, jam him off the LOS all night and secondary must tackle well after a reception if we are to "contain" him at all. Ya think Shockey will be up for this game, just a little bit? Of course, if Tuck, Kiwi, Osi, "Batman"(Cofield) & Robbins and Rocky VII are in Drew's facemask all night, it will be a "breeze" now won't it?. NYG, NYG!!!

I guess everyone has herd that D Tyree has been cut by the giants. I mentioned this yesterday and today it is official. He had some good games as a giant especially his catch in Super Bowl XLII. I wish him luck in the future and thanks for the good games.

8 Ivy League players make-up the NFL 's 1,700 players and 2 are on the NY Giants roster; DeOssie & Boothe!:
http://history.giants.com/video/7585737/Ivy+League+Pro+Prospects Incredible that Ivy League Football roots goes back to 1869 and the first College Football games between Princeton and Rutgers, also, Harvard played Tufts. Who are some of the past Giant draft picks or free agents that played their College Football in the Ivy League since 1925? |

84 years strong and growing!:
http://history.giants.com/video/7491385/84+Years+of+New+York+Giant+Pride. Sure would be nice for all the NY Giants fans, players and staff, both young and old, to watch the team earn a big victory in Dallas on Sunday and add more winning history to the Big Blue lore. Since 1925, all the way to 2009, the Giants have earned being the 'Pride' of the NFL... |

September 11, 2009 (tomorrow) is eight years after the 9/11 attacks.
The New York Giants and the NFL will always remember and are helping people to move forward: http://history.giants.com/video/7421391/Former+NFL+Star+Leads+Drive+for+9%2F11+Memorial and, http://history.giants.com/video/6128501/a+Journey+For+9%2F11 and, http://history.giants.com/video/7421580/Former+Giant+Walks+Across+the+U.S.A.+for+9%2F11+Rescue+Workers Take some moments on Saturday to reflect on 9/11 and then clear your mind by early Sunday for the Redskins game, you know any Giant fans who perished in this tragedy would want it that way... |

The Phil McConkey Giants story is an amazing part of Giants History!:
http://history.giants.com/video/7388903/America%27s+Game+Moment%3A+1986+Giants This guy was a one-man wreaking crew in Super Bowl XXI. Amazing story how Phil came back to the Giants and caught a TD pass from Phil Simms off that deflection by TE Mark Bavaro! Served 4 yrs in the Navy before he signed with the Giants as a 27 yr old Rookie.

Did not know about Cal until uncovering a NY Giants related video clip cartoon of baseball player Carl Bubble which was made as a parody of Carl Hubble otherwise known as Cal:
http://history.giants.com/video/7297582/Nutty+News In 1927, the NY Giants won their 1st NFL Championship after a trade for Hubble. He earned the NFL Hall of Fame in 1963, congrats. It'd be nice to hear more from Giants fans who know a little something about his game and why the parody was made about Cal, thx.

Let the debate start! I've done the research comparing players from the 30', 50's, 80's, and today. I found very slight difference in the following positions. QB, RB, FB, WR/E on offense. CB, S, on defense. I found the differential for Offensive and Defensive Line to be significant. Linemen in 30's average hgt 6'0 and wgt 220 (starting guard that was 5'9,204). 50's linemen average hgt 6'1 and wgt 240. 80's linemen average hgt 6'3 and average wgt 260. Current Giants team linemen average 6'4 and 290. LB position average in 30's and 50's about same with hgt 6'0 and wgt 220. LB position in 80's average hgt 6'2, wht 230. LB average today is 6'2, 240. IMO linemen (both sides) playing in the 30's could not play those positions now. Offensive linemen in the 50's (maybe R.Brown,but not at Tackle!) could not play those positions now. LB's in the 30's and 50's with a few exceptions (Hein, Huff) could not play those positions now. Size matters! The way he got talked up I thought Steve Owens would be bigger! 5'10, 235.

Does anyone know what the #38 on the back left of the 1986 stand for? The jersey that year had a patch for Spider Lockart. We were watching the 1986 Americas Game and my son ask what it stood for.

ProFootball.Com is reporting that the players union is considering demanding(on Plaxico's behalf) the commissioners office to make a decision on whether or not to suspend Plaxico now has oppossed to waiting for the legal system to run it's course.I see no logical reason why that makes any sense! I also don't think a suspention from the commisioners office is in his future anytime soon.I think the fact that the Giants took the lead and suspended and then released(money lost)his butt will be deemed punishment enough for something inanely stupid not to mention the PR hit! I am quite sure that the union can demand all they want(last I looked this was'nt baseball)and I'm quite sure the commisioners will respond when the dust clears!

According to SI, the NY Giants are ranked number 5 in the NFL over the past Decade. Thanks Den.
1. NE 2. Pittsburgh 3. Indy 4. Philly and 5. New York Giants -Eli Manning and the Giants had arguably the decade's biggest win, beating the undefeated Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Regular season: 80-64, .556 Playoff wins/record: 6-5 Super Bowls won/appeared: 1 out of 2 Playoff seasons: 6 Winning seasons: 5 Losing seasons: 3 -The Giants present us with our first real judgment call, because No. 6 Baltimore owns three more regular-season wins, not to mention that Super Bowl XXXV lambasting of New York in January 2001. But we're giving a slight nod to the Giants based on their two Super Bowl trips this decade, and that monumental upset of New England two years ago. New York also has one more playoff season than the Ravens (six to five), albeit one of them was of the cheapie, 8-8 variety. Everyone of these teams and Baltimore at #6 are looking tough again going into 2009. Can the Giants leapfrog up the rankings past the Eagles this year and also past Peyton Manning and the Colts? Or, might they drop because the Ravens will have a better overall year. Either way, it's been a real nice decade New York Giants!! What say ye?

I added three photos of the 1933 Diamond matchcovers that featured Fordham stars and future NY Giants Ed Danowski, John Del Isola, and Tony Sarausky to the early Giants album - the edit function won't load right now, but when I can I will add them to the early Giants football cards page.

Looking at this killer photo allows us to see all the changes since 1934. Are those field lines sorta horizontal? :) No facemasks and leather helmets. How about the crowd right up on the field not paying any site license fees! I guess they did not play with officials back then who blow easy calls, lol. All that and the one thing that never changes is the pigskin football. Incredible how you can see the black & white laces just fine without HD, Digital and Color imagery. This pic talks to you...very cool.

Does anyone know the uniform number worn by Gene Filipsk? Gene played halfback on the 56 and 57 team. I remember watching the 56 Championship game against the Bears in my grandparents' Manhattan apartment--this was during the blackout days--and Filipski took the opening kickoff about sixty yards.
When we played football as kids I used to pretend I was Filipski--the sound of the name appealed to me, I guess--and I'm looking to rekindle an old memory. Thanks.
