2007: Get playmakers on your team. In #NYGiants key win at Washington in 2007 after starting out 0-2, they took the lead for good in their comeback win on a short pass from Eli Manning to Plaxico Burress who made a move and took it in for a TD to put NYG up 24-17.

HBD Pete Gogolak turns 83. Gogolak kicked for #NYGiants from 1966-1974 & remains NYG all time scoring leader. He also holds an important place in NFL history as the 1st player to jump from AFL (Buffalo) to NFL (NYG) in 1966 which helped start the NFL/AFL merger

2007: Sometimes you need some luck along the way. #NYGiants would beat Dallas in the 2nd round of the playoffs, but the turning point of the game came late in 3Q when Crayton dropped a 3rd down pass leading 17-14. To NYG credit, they took advantage of the mistake

1993: John Madden called many #NYGiants games thru Phil Simms career as the Giants were a marquee team so they got the Madden/Summerall coverage. Madden noted that no one in the NFL was better at seam passes than Simms & he showed it here in his TD pass to HOWARD CROSS

HBD Pete Gogolak. One of the highlights among a night of highlights at the #NYGiants 100th celebration at MSG, which I was fortunate to attend, was the stories Gogolak told when Bob Papa Shaun O'Hara & Peter Schrager asked questions. Gogolak legit changed the way kickers kicked

Random #NYGiants thing of the day: An autographed photo of Brian Kelley. You had to feel for Kelley, he was picked by NYG in 14th round of 1973 draft, fought his way on the team & was a solid LB for 11 years. But he only had 1 winning season (1981) & missed out on the glory days

1989: There were a lot of great defenses in the 1980s, but #NYGiants were the best on the goal line. So many top goal line players like Lawrence ‘LT’ Taylor Carl Banks Gary Reasons Leonard A. Marshall (NFL Legend) Pepper Johnson had a nose for the ball & here Steve DeOssie stuffed Philly on 4th & goal

Random #NYGiants thing of the day: In 1997, Reeves tried a pre-draft end around to sign restricted FA Sehorn. It would send a 1st round pick to NYG & he traded down from #3 to #11 & got more picks. But the rules were Atlanta needed at least their original pick so his plan fizzled

1995: In honor of #WrestleMania weekend, remembering Lawrence ‘LT’ Taylor in WrestleMania XI taking on Bam Bam Bigelow. In his corner were other NFL players including big wrestling fan Carl Banks. LT came off the 2nd rope to nail Bam Bam & get the pin & angered Ted DiBiase
