"There will be no Threepeat!" Summerall delivered this classic line after the #NYGiants beat the Niners 15-13 in SF in the 1990 NFCC game on Matt Bahr's clutch 41 yard game winner at the gun. And for 30 years I've wondered "why does that guy have a parrot?" at 1:06. #GiantsPride

I was on cloud 9 for hours after Bahr's kick went through the uprights. Pure elation.
- The Giant fan/field guy under the goal post who goes nuts as soon as it's good
- When you have the phrase "at the gun", there literally is the old referee gun shot to end the game. You can hear it in the clip. They did away with that later.
- Joe Montana being slowly helped off the field
- Bahr calmly turning around to celebrate with Hoss, who rolls over, and then Bahr is squashed by LT and Brian Williams
- And listen to the crowd noise. It's quiet except for a group of Giants fans that you can hear throughout.
Game 6 NLCS in 2006. Beltran looked at strike three. Mayhem to silence in an instant. Best comparison I could think of.
I was at the game. Best sporting event I ever had the privilege to attend. After Craig fumbled the stadium went quiet and stayed that way. When OJ Anderson got the last first down I stood and cheered. The entire section quietly gave me dirty looks.
Then when Barr makes the kick he says, maybe the Giants won't need to get into the end zone.
Big smile...
He was a big Giants fan though at least.
Anyway when Bahr connected me and this guy run across the room and hugged and ended up falling on the floor in joy.
Great game, odd memory...especially since he didn't much like me either.
Bought the 10 greatest NYG games a few years back and watch that one from time to time.
Love that 90 team

This game and the Packer championship game from January 2008 are probably the 2 most stressful Giant games I've ever watched.
Yes, so true. 120 minutes of physical brutality. 20-18 combined score. you'll never see that kind of football again unfortunately.

since that day. You could hear a pin drop after Bahr made the kick.

Phil S I was there with my buddy Dave, from Long Island. I thought we were gonna get killed in the parking lot
remember 2011?
Best duo ever in sports broadcasting history. I remember my old man telling me when I was young, 'If Summerall & Madden are calling a Giants game, you know it's a big game.'
Crazy when you think about it that 3 out the 5 Giant SB appearances were decided my a game ending winning FG in the NFCC game...
That's what it's all about. The memories and comraderie. No matter how much my dad or my brother and I could be at odds or just butting heads because that's what kids do grwoing up, we could always talk about the Giants and look forward to watching the games together. Rangers and Yankees as well. And even the Knicks when I was really young.
I think being a Giant fan shaped my life in an extremely positive way and it’s mainly due to moments like this. A tear welled up watching my hero’s rush the field again like I did back then, as us Giant fans had the best week ever after that insane breathtaking well deserved win against an absolute juggernaut.
Wins like this are forever.
