Unfortunately the Reasons' picture (even with the flying mouthpiece) doesn't do that hit justice. That hit and Marshall's on Montana are evidence the Giants defense of that era was much more than LT. And unlike many, both would be legal today.
that Alford sack of Brady doesn't get talked about enough.

If you're a true Giants' fan, how can you glory in seeing YA Tittle beaten, bleeding and demoralized after a great career in '64, or ...

Chuck Bednerick (of the HATED Eagles) hovering over the unconscious body of Frank Gifford ?

Sorry, I make it my business, here to voice my opinion while NOT ever attacking anyone, but the excuse of labeling these photos "iconic" reeks of pure stinking unadulterated poop covered masochism.

Do you see other teams celebrating their misery - The Bills "Wide Right" or the Cowboys' Jackie Smith's Super Bowl drop Don't think so.

This isn't a thread for "Glory" pics, It's a thread for Iconic ones that invoke a memory or a period in the Giants history good or bad. That Y.A. Tittle pic is about as Iconic as it comes for that period in Giants history
