We watched it the other day too, the 86 Giants are the ones that I really enjoyed, just the crap that went back and forth between Parcells and LT was gold. Adi, where did you expect them to be, looking at the 1-4 teams I think they were placed where they should have been, hell at least your team was up there at all...
