Thanks for the memories... I think Reyna Thompson was my favorite special teamer of all time as a Giant.
Larry Flowers is also in the conversation...

Reggie Roby when we got Thompson from Miami.
Whoops

"He's the big reason I'm leading the league in net punting average," says Sean Landeta, referring to Thompson's pursuit of punt returners. "People don't get decent return yardage against us. I talked to Reggie Roby, the Dolphins' punter, when they lost Thompson. He was practically crying. He said, 'You're going to love this guy.' "

Madden elaborating on him often. Even using his famous “boom” in his description.

Any idea how difficult it is typing a comment after watching that first link? Goose bumps everywhere!

It's kinda a shame that younger fans won't ever be able to listen to Pat and John call a game. Us older Giants fans are really lucky we had them as often as we did. I doubt they would be appreciated with today's audience . Fantasy, online gambling, etc. I'll even bet that chicks were less of a pain in the ass back then!

Uh, maybe not...

The beauty of Pat and John was they wouldn't talk over the moment. They let the moment speak for itself. Now you have guys who simply won't let the moment breath.

Greg Olson and Romo clearly get paid per word.

I think Mark Sanchez is fantastic in the booth.

One of the reasons why i don’t understand why Giants fans have an issue with Joe Buck.

His call for the winning TD in 42 was perfect.

“Manning lobs it……Burress alone…..Touchdown NY…….”

and then he did not speak again for over one minute. Let the moment breathe perfectly. In fact, i think it was aikman who spoke first.
Thanks for sharing.

Those two NFC Championship games vs. 49ers were two of the best games I ever saw. ‘There will be no three-peat’! Epic.

And how good was Hakeem Nicks? He made some great plays in his short time with the Giants.
