NY Giants will face the Buffalo Bills in this year's Hall-of-Fame game at Fawcett Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 3.


Should be interesting to see if the Syracuse connection is mentioned. I figure Buffalo is in the game because Andre Reed is going into the HOF and the Giants because of Michael Strahan. NFL likes to have the teams involved usually have affiliation with 1 or 2 HOFers.

Wouldn't that also be the 25th anniversary of their superbowl against each other too?

i had a feeling the Giants would be in this one, wasnt surprised when twitter and email blew up.

the bills make sense too, hadnt thought of the 25 year angle, good call.

normally the Giants dont like the extra game, but this year with the new OC and other coaching changes... the extra week of practice would be welcomed.

The laces were out! Die Frank!

This season will be the 24th anniversary, not that I don't already feel old enough. It was the 1990 regular season, 91 Super Bowl.

This game should obviously be played at the carrier dome.

This shlit gets me, it's the 25th Anniversary of that season, right??

But not 25 years.

I give up.

It was my understanding, that there'd be no math...

Doh! I was so close.

could this also be a signal that one of these teams will be forced to be on hard knocks? Both of these squads were on the list of 8 that the NFL could force to be on the show along with the Raiders, Jags, Steelers, Rams, Cards, and Bears.

id say it puts them OUT.

the league wont give someone 5 exhibitions and also put them through hard knocks. even if the 5th game is a godsend.

believe me, dont play cards with John Mara, he just won.
