Pretty cool. They did it since they are in NYC.
You beet me to the post, I was too busy recording it on my phone.

My favorite part of the piece is when they called him the best player not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame! Too bad they didn't show the highlights from 1956, he is the only QB in NFL history to win a championship and an MVP and not be in the HOF. We really need to start some sort of a campaign to get him in already. He was a finalist multiple times in the 70's. It annoys me every year when the veterans committee selects some other guy from the 50's. It would be great while his wife is still alive, anyone know if the Manning family has any sort of relationship with the Conerly's?
I see they're still playing Francessa's rant against Franklin

all in the HoF. If these guys are in, Conerly should be in. And it still irks me that Jim Kelly is in and Phil Simms isn't. Kelly compiled big numbers in the run/shoot offense but failed to win a championship in four tries.
Both Conerly and Jimmy Patton, 5 time AllPro, should be in

the HOF.
Stats:

W-L-T:
57-31-1: good.
Completion%
50.1. poor
TD/Picks
173-167.poor

Same reason I think it'll keep Eli out; unless he gets a 3rd Ring.
We need some of the media who cover Giants and have a vote in HOF

To start pushing for recognition for Conerly. Eric might be our best contact to start this. #42 my hero. First qb's I saw with Giants and his stats are skewed by his idiot head coach. Just ask Frank Gifford.
Nobody had great stats back in those days

like today`s. The eligible receivers got mauled and abused on their routes then. No flag football.
