The New York Giants will be celebrating their 100th season in 2024. Their best-ever team? My vote goes to '86 SB 21 champs: Parcells, Belichick, Taylor, Simms, Banks, Carson, Marshall, etc. What happened after the confetti is heartwarming and heartbreaking:👇👇

One thing to add: I believe if Phil Simms was drafted by Bill Walsh and the 49ers, he would have won multiple Super Bowls. Even so, Simms would be in HOF if he had not gotten hurt late in the '90 season and finished off the Giants run to SB 25 title.

Strange but true: If it wasn't for O.J. Simpson, whose death was announced today, Phil Simms might not have been drafted by the Giants.
Follow me here: In 1978, one year before Bill Walsh was hired by San Francisco, the 49ers traded five draft picks, including their #1 pick in…

The Jets & Giants are picking in the top 10 ...AGAIN. There's lots of chatter about the job security of GM & coach. My ranking of the hot seats: Saleh, Douglas, Daboll with Schoen a very distant fourth.
How do you rank whose seat is hottest? Add some comments, too.

If you're in the Dallas area on May 2 stop by Buffalo Joe's for what is going to be a really fun night. Cowboys legendary announcer Brad Sham will host discussion with me, Gary Reasons and Everson Walls about my book 'Once A Giant' and all things NFL.

Based on Smith's injury history and inability to play a full season since 2015, and only 30 games over the last 4 yrs, I think Jets need to plan that a first round OT will start a lot of games in 2024. I also don't think any of top 3 WRs will be there at #10.

My New York Jets draft opinion:
I know taking an offensive lineman isn't the most exciting pick in the top 10 in the first round but it's what the Jets absolutely need to do -- even if one of the top 3 WRs (Marvin Harrison, Rome Odunze, Malik Nabers) or TE Brock Bowers fall to them at…

Life after football for many of the '86 SBXXI champion New York Giants has been a struggle. Fortunately, this team formed a brotherhood that has served as a lifeline. What happens after the last piece of confetti falls? Check out my bestseller 'Once A Giant.'

I didn't feel the earthquake this morning in Westchester. Lots of friends on Long Island did. But sitting at home just now, I felt the floor rattle under my feet. I was on phone with friend on LI and he felt same thing at same time. I guess that was an aftershock. Pretty wild.

Bobby Johnson is best known by Giants fans for his clutch fourth-and-17 catch vs. the Vikings that led to a last-second victory in 1986. Johnson's cocaine problem ended his promising career one year later. He was soon sleeping on a park bench in Nashville. It took many, many…

Back to my roots on 4/18 at 6 pm at Fresh Meadows library in Queens, two blocks from where I grew up, for 'Once A Giant' discussion & book signing. It's good time to return Shakespeare cliff notes that helped me get through English lit in high school.
