NY POST:
The NFL Network - which neither Cablevision nor Time-Warner carries as of press time - is offering an intriguing series ranking the Top 20 Super Bowl teams of all time.
America's Game, which is akin to ESPN's Sports-Century, starts tonight with the '83 Raiders at No. 20.
While neither the '69 Jets nor the '90 Giants made it, the '86 Giants are some-where.
"That is more a character study in Bill Parcells and how he handled two of his greatest players, Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor,'' said NFL Films President Steve Sabol, who led the two-year project.
In the Giants' one-hour documentary, Parcells recounts how in the final regular-season game the Giants led the Packers 24-0 before giving up 17 points before halftime.
"That was the most upset I've ever been with a team,'' Parcells recounts. "I went down to the offense and said, 'If we score 45 points, we might be able to end the game with a tie.'
"I went down to the defense and took a 55-gallon trash can filled with the week's garbage and began dumping it on the floor. I told them, 'The way you're playing, you belong with the rest of this trash!' ''
The Giants went on to win 55-24. The Giants' show doesn't have an air date yet.
