April 4, 2008 Interesting tidbit from New York head coach Tom Coughlin, who revealed that after he opted to play his starters in the 2007 regular-season finale against the New England Patriots, Hall-of-Fame coach and legendary broadcaster John Madden called and left him an emotional voice mail message, according to NFL.com. On the message, Madden saluted Coughlin for his decision and the Giants for the way they played. Madden went on and on in his praise, and the message left its mark on Coughlin. He was so moved by the voicemail that Coughlin played it for his entire team the week before they played against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the opening round of the playoffs. It was there that the Giants started the run that became one of the most memorable in NFL postseason history, ultimately beating the same New England team that they lost to in the regular-season finale. |
