FLIPPER TO THE TUNNEL!!! Been a long time since I watched the game OUTSIDE of THE catch. I had almost forgotten about the very end of the 1st half when the Giants had the ball, control of the game and a 6 to 0 lead. Madden says....."In this part of the field, the Giants do not want to do something stupid". A few plays later, the Rams pick off Simms and bring it to about the 30. Madden comments... "I said they better not do something stupid. Well....They just did something stupid!" The VERY next play, Everett zinged it to Flipper at the 1-2 yard line and he took it in for the eventual 7 to 6 lead.
WHAT A MEMORY!! I recall watching that game on the small TV in the weight / ping pong room of my Fire Station, at my USAF duty station...Eaker AFB in Blytheville, Arkansas. All the 16 other guys on shift were in the main TV room or front bay. When Flipper took it to the Tunnel, I BLASTED out of the weight room YELLING........ "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! HOW BOUT THEM RAMS!!!!!!??????? Several asked me....What the hell is wrong with you???? LOL Because I was usually much more low key.
