The New York Giants hadn't won an NFL championship in 30 years before Bill Parcells' led them to two Super Bowl victories in five years. In 1986 the Giants were loaded. On defense, Lawrence Taylor, considered by many to be the best outside linebacker ever to play the game, won the NFL MVP Award. He and middle linebacker, Harry Carson, both future Hall of Famers, led an overwhelming defense. On offense, the Giants were led by tight end Mark Bavaro, 1500 yard rusher, Joe Morris and quarterback Phil Simms, a good quarterback who had yet to prove he could be great. In Super Bowl XXI he did just that with a precision passing game that is unmatched as the Giants defeated the Broncos 39-20. Four years later, injuries threatened to ruin the Giants' 1990 season. With two weeks to go in the regular season, Simms was lost for the remainder of the year and it would be up to an untested, back-up, Jeff Hostetler to lead the team into the playoffs. Although he had thrown barely more than 100 passes in the previous six seasons, Hostetler exceeded all expectations, winning five straight starts including a victory over the Bills in Super Bowl XXV, one of the most exciting games in Super Bowl history. ****PLEASE NOTE: This item is shipped directly from the manufacturer and is delivered via Standard shipping only.

Customer Rating:
Summary: must have for any Giants fan
Comment: As a diehard Giants fan this is a must have DVD. To hear the perspective from players and coaches was fastastic. The NFL Network does a great job on both SBs and their "America's Game" series is outstanding. I can't wait for them to come out with SB 42!!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Extremely displeased
Comment: I am an American In Ireland. If I wanted a long winded interview about the Giants I can watch the BBC. They're great at it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great DVD-Brings back wonderful memories
Comment: I have watched many shows on the Giants past Super Bowls but these two DVD's showed clips that I had never seen before. Alot of behind the scenes (locker room) conversations that were fun to watch. I would recommend this DVD highly.

Summary: very surprising 2 set
Comment: I didn't read the ad carefully and found it was the 1986 and 1990 superbowl and not superbowl XLII. Wasted my money.

Summary: Reliving the Past in Style
Comment: The America's Game: NY Giants 2-DVD set is a definite must-have for Giants fans. I have (and still enjoy) the VHS copies of "Giants among Men" from the 1986 season and "True Blue" from the 1990 season. While they give a game-by-game replay of those seasons, the America's Game set goes into the personalities, the challenges, and the triumps of some of the key players on those teams. The AG series is a celebration of the humanity of the players who are encased in so many layers of padding, we do not experience the personal highs and lows they go through - not only within the game, but with each other on and off the field. Steve Sabol has rectified this with an excellent new approach to the game, its players and coaches. Parcells, Simms, LT, Hoss, OJ and more are there to add a very personal touch to the 86 and 90 seasons. You won't regret buying this DVD set
