New York Giants
Professional American football team - The New York Giants, established in the New York City metropolitan area, is headquartered, trained, and plays its home games at Giants Stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in the suburb of East Rutherford, New Jersey. Presently members of the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL), the Giants were one of five teams that joined the NFL in 1925, but the only one admitted that year which still exists.

The Giants have won a total of six NFL titles four in the pre Super Bowl era (1927, 1934, 1938, 1956) and 2 since the advent of the Super Bowl (Super Bowls XXI and XXV). Throughout their history the Giants have featured 15 Hall of Fame players, including NFL MVP (Most Valuable Player) award winners Mel Hein, Frank Gifford, Charlie Conerly, Y. A. Tittle, and Lawrence Taylor.

In order to avoid any confusion with the baseball team, the football team was called the New York Football Giants. Although the baseball team moved to San Francisco in 1957, the football team continues to use "New York Football Giants" as its legal corporate name.

During the course of their time, the team has been assigned several unofficial names, including Big Blue, the G-men, the Big Blue Wrecking Crew, the Jersey Giants, and the Jints, a name seen frequently in the New York Post.

Founded in 1925 originally by owner Tim Mara, who owned the team until his death in 1959, after which the legacy was passed on to his son Wellington. The Giants played their first game against All New Britain in New Britain, Connecticut, on October 5, 1925. They defeated New Britain 260 in front of a crowd of 10,000. The Giants were victorious in their first season, finishing with an 84 record in 1925. However, they faced complexities and Mara had to spend $25,000 of his own money to keep the franchise going. This struggle continued until the eleventh game of the season when the Red Grange led Chicago Bears came to town attracting over 70,000 fans. This pushed the Giants into financial soundness and perhaps altered the history of the franchise.

In just its third season, the team finished with the best record in the league at 1111 and was awarded the NFL title. In a fourteen year span from 1933 to 1946, the Giants qualified to play in the NFL championship game 8 times, winning twice. During the period the Giants were led by Hall of Fame coach Steve Owen, and Hall of Fame players Mel Hein, Red Badgro, and Tuffy Leemans. This period also included the famous "Sneakers Game", where they defeated the Chicago Bears on an icy field in the 1934 NFL Championship game, while wearing sneakers for better traction. The Giants were particularly successful from the latter half of the 1930s until the United States entry into World War II. They were so successful that according to one publication, "From 1936 to 1941 the New York Giants annually fielded a collection of NFL all-stars." They added their third NFL championship in 1938 with a 2317 win over the Green Bay Packers.

They did not win another league title until 1956, made possible by players such as running back Frank Gifford, linebacker Sam Huff, and offensive tackle Roosevelt Brown. The Giants 1956 Championship team not only consisted of players that would ultimately find their way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but it also had a Hall of Fame coaching staff. Head coach Jim Lee Howell's staff had Vince Lombardi coaching the offense and Tom Landry coaching the defense. From 1958 to 1963, the Giants played in the NFL championship game 5 years, but didn't win. The Giants played the Colts in the 1958 NFL Championship game that is considered a seminal moment in the history of the NFL. Though, the game lost by Giants, is nevertheless considered one of the most important events in furthering the NFL's popularity course in America. In 1963 led by league MVP quarterback Y.A. Tittle, who threw an NFL record 36 touchdown passes, the Giants advanced to the NFL Championship game, where they narrowly lost to the Bear 1410.

With players such as Tittle and Gifford approaching their mid 30s, the team declined rapidly, finishing 2102 in 1964. From 1964 to 1978, the Giants registered only two winning seasons and were unable to advance to the playoffs. During this period the team acquired quarterback Fran Tarkenton in 1967. Despite having several respectable seasons with Tarkenton at quarterback, the Giants traded him away to the Vikings 1971. Tarkenton would go on to lead his team to three Super Bowls and create a Hall of Fame resume, while the Giants suffered through one of the worst stretches in their history. Starting in 1973 the Giants compiled 23 wins in 6 seasons. The 1977 season also featured the unusual choice of having three rookie quarterbacks on their roster.

During this period, the team, who earlier shared Yankees Stadium with baseball's the New York Yankees, were forced to play their home games in various stadiums from 1973 through 1975. By 1976, they had their own well-facilitated stadium in, when they moved into the Meadowlands. One of the low points during this period was the so-called "Miracle at the Meadowlands", which occurred in 1978. With the Giants needing only to kneel the ball to secure a certain victory against the Philadelphia Eagles, they chose to call a running playwhich resulted in a fumble that was returned for a game winning touchdown by the Eagles.

In 1979 the Giants began the steps that would, in time, return them to the pinnacle of the NFL. These included the drafting of quarterback Phil Simms in 1979, and linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 1981. In 1981 Taylor won the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards and the Giants made the playoffs for the first time since 1963. From 1981 to 1990, the team made the playoffs seven times in ten seasons, including victories in Super Bowl XXI and Super Bowl XXV. In addition to Simms and Taylor, the team was led during this period by head coach Bill Parcells, tight end Mark Bavaro, and Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson. In 1986 Taylor was named league MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, the Giants finished 142, and defeated the Denver Broncos 3920 in the Super Bowl. In 1990 the Giants went 133, set an NFL record for fewest turnovers in a season (14), and defeated the Buffalo Bills in the Super Bowl. Following the 1990 season Parcells resigned as head coach and was replaced by the team's offensive coordinator Ray Handley. Handley served as coach for two disappointing seasons (1991-92), which saw the Giants fall from Super Bowl champions to a 6-10 record. He was fired following the 1992 season, and replaced by former Denver Broncos' coach Dan Reeves. In the early 1990s, Simms and Taylor, two of the teams' largest figures in the 1980s, played out the last seasons of their career with steadily declining production. The Giants experienced a resurgent season with Reeves at the healm in 1993 however, and Simms and Taylor ended their careers as members of a winning team.

In 1994, they missed the playoffs for three successive seasons under head coach Dan Reeves. After the 1997 season, Reeves was sacked and replaced by Jim Fassel, former offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals.

During this period, quarterback Kerry Collins was brought in the team. With Fassel and Collins, the Giants experienced success and made the playoffs several times, plus an appearance in Super Bowl XXXV. But the team's loss in the Super Bowl and succeeding poorness lead to Fassel's release following the 2003 season. Fassel was replaced by current coach Tom Coughlin in 2004. Although Collins had several solid seasons as the Giants quarterback, he also faced problems. Therefore, the Giants, in 2004, obtained Eli Manning from the University of Mississippi to be their new quarterback. Manning has been the team's starting quarterback since the middle of the 2004 season.

Coughlin's term has also produced incompatible results and generated intense media inquiry concerning the direction of the team. During this course, standout players including defensive end Michael Strahan, who set the NFL single season record in sacks in 2001, and running back Tiki Barber, who set a team record for rushing yards in a season in 2005. As of 2007, the Giants have made the playoffs in two consecutive seasons.
