You and I were the two lunatics screaming at the fans who were cheering when Simms went down against Buffalo and Hoss came into the game...

damn straight!!

and the Kareem call is a nice pure NYC one...

Actually Kareem is a Bucks call...my parents are from Milwaukee and were Bucks fans...so I became a Bucks fan as a kid. When Kareem left to go to Lakers, I became a Lakers fan...

And I know someone will call me out on saying Carmelo, and not Bouie because Bouie was always been my favorite player but, at the end of the day, college hoops is about NCAA tourney success and we still have a goose egg without Carmelo...

Wait...there were Giants fans cheering? Why? Simms was rock solid that year and would've thought he was untouchable by that point.

Giants fans never appreciated Simms until they lived through Brown and Kanell and Kent Graham...

With the Giants defense, whenever Parcells got a lead, he would run twice, throw a screen and punt...

Simms never had big numbers so Giants fans were infatuated with Hostetler...

There were thunderous cheers at the stadium when Simms got hurt and Hostetler came in against the Bills...

I remember the season but I was young and I guess didn't pay attention to/notice stuff like that. Seems crazy. I do remember the debates after the season on if Simms should get the starting job back.
