The 1986 NY Giants were, are and always will be my football hero's. Congratulations to Leonard Marshall and Joe Morris. Two of the bus drivers from NY Giants Camelot 1984-1990. Long overdue and well deserved.
Congrats to Ottis, Rodney, Kyle Rote and Jimmy Patton too. I didn't get to see Rote and Patton play but I heard so many stories about them from my father and uncles I felt like I did.
Some great Jim Gordon calls in the linked video.

Hopefully the 2022 Giants can keep the score close for the first half so everyone is in a good mood for the ceremony. TV will probably show a few seconds but Giants.com will be streaming it live and I'm sure it will be available after the game too.

Maybe they change that for once?
Joe Morris also- Little Joe was our offense for a few years. Hard to imagine where the Giants' fortunes would have went without his enormous contributions.
Congratulations to both!!
I cannot comment on the others two- I never saw them play.
That being said, seeing the guys I grew up and came of age watching like Joe morris, Ottis Anderson, Leonard Marshall and Rodney Hampton is a personal thrill for me. Having them going in together is very representative of what we called "Giants Football" during that era - running the football and defense, and they are all deserving.
Maybe they change that for once?
No just a loss, but a rather deflating loss.
Would love to know our record in games where we honor teams and players from the past
Every Hall of Fame or Ring of Honor makes a mistake.
Those were fun times.
