Here is Tom Coughlin’s Sunday Night Conversation from yesterday’s Sportscenter:
The interesting part for me is, with around 6-7 minutes left in the video, Coughlin talks about how close Plaxico Burress came to missing the Super Bowl. I’d imagine the Giants had this fear literally every week, but the big game would have been very different [...]
