Spider Lockhart the safety for the Gints in the 70’s when I really started following the team. A solid defender against the pass he would still put a hit on a running back and knock him on his ass.
Joe Morrison. Old reliable running back in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s. I only remember him as a fill in on the sidelines, he always be standing next to the coach, this really old guy, and I say what the hell is he doing dressed up like that. Then he would go in the game and catch a pass or stick a block and I would go, all right old guy.
Tucker Fredrickson, running back. The guy who kept the dream alive in between the winning times. He served the same function for the Giants that Bobby Murcer did for the Yankees. A classy star who played in between the championship years. A true Giant.
Fran the Scram Tarkenton. The quarterback who kept us in a lot of games, and ran us out of a lot of games. You never knew what you would get with Fran. But very entertaining.
Mark Barvaro the toughest tight end there ever was. The highlight reel where he catches that pass and pulls three guys in the end zone is the greatest thing I ever saw. Plus a good Catholic who wasn’t afraid to put it out there in the face of the commie media. Good man.
Carl Banks the tough as nails linebacker who is a commenter on the current Giants broadcasts. A tough tackler and a guy who played in pain, he was part of the heart and soul of the championship teams.
Doug Kotar the scrappy running back. Man he never did amount to a lot in the league but he had balls and I loved the way he played. He got every ounce out of his talent.
Lawrence Taylor the best crack head to ever play the game. He taught me an important lesson, you shouldn’t care how drugged up your guys are, if they help you win the game then it’s ok. Once they slip, then you cut their ass. Right Bill Parcels?
Phil Simms the championship quarterback and leader who got dicked around by Parcels but forced him to play him and really won two championships for us. I was at the Buffalo game where he got hurt and Hostetler came in to lead us to the Super Bowl, but that was Phil’s team. A great Giant.
Brad Benson who was a guard on the first Superbowl team. Now he owns a car dealership and makes these great commercials. In the latest one he says if you buy a car from him you will get a pants suit lap dance from Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin will pretend to have your baby. Now that’s entertainment.
