Description
The New York Giants hadn't won an NFL championship in 30 years before Bill Parcells' led them to two Super Bowl victories in 5 years. 1986 the Giants were loaded. On defense, Lawrence Taylor, considered by many to be the best Outside Linebacker ever to play the game, won the NFL MVP Award. He and Middle Linebacker, Harry Carson, both future Hall of Famers, led an overwhelming defense. On offense, the Giants were led by Tight End Mark Bavaro, 1500 yard rusher, Joe Morris and Quarterback Phil Simms, a good quarterback who had yet to prove he could be great. In Super Bowl XXI he did just that with a precision passing game that is unmatched as the Giants defeated the Broncos 39-20. Four years later, injuries threatened to ruin the Giants' 1990 season. With 2 weeks to go in the regular season, Simms was lost for the remainder of the year and it would be up to an untested, back-up, Jeff Hostetler to lead the team into the playoffs. Although he had thrown barely more than 100 passes in the previous 6 seasons, Hostetler exceeded all expectations, winning 5 straight starts including a victory over the Bills in Super Bowl XXV, one of the most exciting games in Super Bowl history.

 Great trip down memory lane October 6, 2008
The two DVD's in this package are both excellent. The format of the films is spot on in my opinion. The first disc has the 86 season and insights offered by Phil Simms, LT and Bill Parcells. The second has Parcells but with OJ Anderson and Carl Banks. All of them offer brilliant anecdotes about what it was like back in the day. There is footage from all of the important games too.
A really well put together DVD from NFL Films.
WOW- WHAT A RUSH!! September 19, 2008
I'VE BEEN A GIANTS FAN SINCE THEY DRAFTED ROCKY THOMPSON IN '71. THESE VIDEOS ARE FANTASTIC SINCE THEY TAKE YOU BEHIND THE SCENES AND YOU SEE WHAT LT WENT THRU AND HOSS'S ROAD TO GLORY. A MUST FOR ALL TRUE GIANTS FANS. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 2009 VERSION WHEN THEY DEFEAT THE PATS AGAIN!!
must have for any Giants fan July 8, 2008
As a diehard Giants fan this is a must have DVD. To hear the perspective from players and coaches was fastastic. The NFL Network does a great job on both SBs and their "America's Game" series is outstanding. I can't wait for them to come out with SB 42!!

I am an American In Ireland. If I wanted a long winded interview about the Giants I can watch the BBC. They're great at it.
Great DVD-Brings back wonderful memories June 19, 2008

I have watched many shows on the Giants past Super Bowls but these two DVD's showed clips that I had never seen before. Alot of behind the scenes (locker room) conversations that were fun to watch. I would recommend this DVD highly.
