Rivalries

There was always one team in the 90's the Giants played that gave me nightmares, that team, their rival the Dallas Cowboys.

Not only did the Cowboys always found a way to beat the Giants, sometimes embarrassingly, but it always felt that Emmitt Smith and Deion Sanders were the main reasons why.

Today's card came from 1997 Pro Line and features one of those said players.

Deion always found a way to hurt the Giants. Whether it was as a receiver, a kick/punt returner or as a defender. He was always a pain in the Giants side.

 

Of course a lot of the times having Dave Brown as your QB didn't help the Giants cause either. But, he did have a great game in the late 1996 matchup surprising the Cowboys with a 20-6 victory.

The Rivalries insert was made up of 20 cards and fell 1:35 packs. Dave Brown was the only Giant featured in the set.

I was able to add this card cheap at Burbank Sportcards Beckett Marketplace where I saved 10% by using code 15Burbank at checkout.

25 Days Of Cardmas Day 8:Pinnacle Of Nate's Career

It appears Nate Newton had a pretty good Christmas in 1994 as a lot of boys I grew up with would have loved to had posed for a picture with any of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

Me on the other hand, I would have been the same kind of happy to had taken a Christmas photo at that time with Amy Jo Johnson or as some of you may know her, Kimberly the Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.

This card was one of the more unique photos for the 1994 line from NFL Properties Santa Claus line and from previous releases as it went outside the Santa box and used an NFL player instead.

I thought it was pretty creative and even more so with the back of the card where it says "and to all a good Nate!"

Who was one of your crushes growing up?

Winner Of Joey Bosa Autographed Memorabilia

Well, well, well.

I don't see my timeline on Twitter or Facebook full of Dak or Zeke talk this morning. Or the expected Cowboys Super Bowl run...maybe there is a reason for that....oh yes, that's right....#GiantsWin.

It was a great game to stay up for, though I am needing a coffee injection today, but it was worth it. I know a lot football fans like an offensive showdown, but give me a defensive one like that any day. Both teams played really well on defense and the game came down to the wire as expected. The Giants simply just made one more play than Dallas. Wonder how round 3 will go if they meet up again in the playoffs??

Anyways, since the Giants won that means someone wins this....

 

And since the score of the game was so low and that everyone was over in their predictions, I had to fire up the ole randomizer and make it fair. So here's the winner after my usual 7 randoms....

Giants Win, You Can Too!

This week is a big game for my 8-4 NY Giants as they take on the 11-1 Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

It's a must win if they want any shot left at the division. That's something I honestly think Dallas has already locked up after Giants lost to Pitt, but, none the less, i strongly dislike Dallas and want a win. So sick of hearing the Dak/Zeke talk.

The Giants also need a win to hold onto the Wild Card spot which they lead by 2 games currently.

So I am giving this away, this sweet 2016 Phoenix rookie auto memorabilia card of top Chargers pick Joey Bosa if and only if the GIANTS WIN.
