New York Giants: Top 50 Players of All TimeJune 20, 2011
New York Giants: Top 50 Players of All Time
The New York Giants are one of the most storied and successful franchises in NFL History. One of the few teams who can say they've been a part of the NFL since the beginning, there are certainly a huge bank of players to examine when making a top 50 list of all time.
One thing you'll notice is the rush of defensive players that sit at the top of the list; the Giants have been known for their great defensive players over the years and it's no secret who the No. 1 player is.
But who fills in at 2-50? Let's take a look.
50. Al Blozis OL
Al Blozis makes this list even though he only played two seasons with the Giants because of the level of play he performed at in those two seasons and the nature of his short time with the team.
You see, it was common practice back in his day for players to end or suspend their careers in order to serve our country, which Blozis did so during World War II.
He made the Pro Bowl in just his second season as an offensive lineman for the Giants and could have returned from the war with a chance for a great career, but his life was cut short in service of our country.
I have respect for that, and maybe someone else should have made the list, but it's my list and I felt compelled to tell his story.
49. Jason Sehorn CB
Jason Sehorn has a solid, yet unspectacular career with the Giants, mainly because he severely injured his knee in the preseason of 1998, his fifth season in the NFL. He was never the same and remained with the Giants through the 2003 season.
It was surprising to see a white player like Sehorn play so well at a predominately black position, but Sehorn was every bit as good as most starters in the NFL prior to his knee injury.
In the 1996 and 1997 seasons—his first two as the full time starter—he had five and six interceptions and a touchdown returned in each season. He was also an accomplished punt and kick returner.
If only he didn't suffer that knee injury he could have been one of the best corners of his era.
48. Jumbo Elliot OL
Though recognized for his great play with only one Pro Bowl, Jumbo Elliot was certainly a favorite of fans and Bill Parcells alike.
Known for his incredible size and athleticism, he could handle any opposing team's leading pass rusher, allowing Phil Simms to have a wonderful end to his career. After Elliot was drafted in 1988, the number of sacks allowed by the Giants offensive line dropped dramatically.
Parcells loved Elliot so much that he made sure to bring him along when he returned to coaching with the New York Jets in 1996.
47. Keith Hamilton DE
Just as Osi Umenyiora has Justin Tuck, Michael Strahan had Keith Hamilton playing across from him. Hamilton was drafted by the Giants and played all 12 seasons with them, though 11 of them were overshadowed by the dominance of Strahan.
Hamilton's presence made it impossible for teams to double team and neutralize Strahan. The moment you slept on Hamilton is the moment he made you pay.
He only made the Pro Bowl team once, but it he definitely had a long and good career with Big Blue.
46. Pepper Johnson LB
Though not the flashiest player in the world, Pepper Johnson was a solid player that flourished in the shadow of future hall of fame linebackers Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson. When Harry Carson retired in 1988, it opened the door for Johnson who was a smart, savy player who rarely made mistakes.
In essence, he was the perfect fit for Bill Belichick's 3-4 defense.
He also had 25.5 sacks; as a blitzer he was able to utilize the attention LT would receive and put pressure on the QB up the middle.
He has won five rings in his career—two as a player with the Giants and three more as an assistant coach for Belichick's Patriots.
45. Carl "Spider" Lockhart S
Spider Lockhart played for the Giants in a time in which they were pretty awful as a franchise for the most part, but he was still a very talented safety well known for his big play ability.
He anchored the back end of the Giants defense for 10 seasons, amassing 41 interceptions and two Pro Bowl bids.
You may remember the Spider patch worn by players during the 1986 season. He lost a battle with cancer that year and the Giants honored him by wearing the patch and won the Super Bowl that season.
44. Tom Landry DB
Before he was Tom Landry the Giants defensive coordinator and then the greatest Dallas Cowboys coach ever, he was a defensive back for the Giants.
Not only was he a great defensive back, collecting 32 interceptions, but he returned punts and was the team's punter.
He displayed characteristics on the field—leadership, intelligence, and the ability to read offenses—that would make him such a great coach in the future.
In his first season as an assistant coach only (he was a player-coach in 1954-55), he created the 4-3 defense specifically for rookie Sam Huff in 1956. The Giants would go on to win the NFL championship that season.
Though, admittedly, his Hall of Fame status was almost certainly due to his work as the Dallas Cowboys head coach. He amazingly was their coach for 29 straight seasons, surpassed only by Chicago Bears head coach George Halas.
He coached the Cowboys to their first winning season in 1966, and they never fell below .500 again for the next 20 years. That's incredible.
43. Benny Friedman QB
Benny Friedman is not a name you'll hear thrown around with some of the best quarterbacks of all time, but he definitely deserves a spot on this list despite only playing three seasons with the Giants.
In his incredible 1928 season, he led the league in passing touchdowns, rushing touchdowns, and extra point kicks. It impressed Giants owner Tim Mara so much that he bought the Detroit Wolverines so he could secure Friedman's services.
As the Hall of Fame website notes, it is believed his career completion percentage was more than 50 percent, which is unbelievable considering 35 percent was good at the time.
In his first season with the Giants, he became the first passer to toss 20 touchdowns. He was elected as first team All Pro in his first four seasons in the NFL.
42. Ray Flaherty OL/Coach
Ray Flaherty's contributions noted in his Hall of Fame induction were definitely in his work as a head coach, but he was one of the first great offensive lineman for the Giants.
He was selected to the All-NFL team three times. His impact on the game is lasting; he created the behind the line of scrimmage screen pass and introduced the idea of players only playing one way.
Though most of his players still did play two ways because it's what they were known for, he did put his foot down for his two platoon offense, which had two different units for passing and rushing offense.
41. Mark Haynes CB
Mark Haynes looked like one of the best defenders in the game for three years in the early 80s. He was arguably one of the best cover corners at that time and made both the All Pro and Pro Bowl from 1982-1984.
However, he would not finish his career with the Giants, leaving after the 1985 season to join the Broncos in 1986.
In his final great season in 1984, he had seven interceptions and many felt he would be around for a while, but injuries derailed him in 1985 and his career would fall off from there. He only had four interceptions in four seasons with the Broncos.
40. Erich Barnes CB/HB
Though Erich Barnes was only on the Giants for four seasons, he made the Pro Bowl each year for the team and was a staple on a defense that led the Giants to the title game three years in a row from 1961 to 1963.
The Giants went through a period of down times in the late 60s and 70s, which was due mainly to them losing several of their defensive stars, and Barnes is included in that when the Giants traded him to Cleveland.
He had 18 interceptions in four season with the Giants and his 102 yard touchdown return on an interception tied an NFL record at the time.
39. Cal Hubbard OL
Cal Hubbard would be much higher up this list had he not only played two meaningful seasons with the Giants. He helped the Giants win the title in 1927 and was elected as an All-Pro in 1928.
However, a road game with the Green Bay Packers in the 1928 season caused him to demand a trade to the team before the 1929 season. He wasn't a big proponent of big cities, and the Giants obliged his request.
Hubbard and Hall of Famer Steve Owen teamed up to anchor one of the greatest defenses of the time. They allowed only 20 points in 13 games, though low scoring was common place back then, and had 10 shutouts.
Hubbard went on to have a great career with the Packers, winning the title with them for his first three years. He won a title in four of his first five years as a pro.
One wonders how good the Giants could have been had he been able to handle the big city life.
38. Carl Banks LB
Carl Banks was perhaps overshadowed by Lawrence Taylor to the common fan, but Giants fans everywhere will tell you Banks was an incredibly talented guy.
He played with heart and determination, not unlike most of the late 1980's and early 90's defense for the Giants.
Not such a bad pass rusher himself, Banks played opposite LT and racked up 39.5 sacks of his own during his career while making one Pro Bowl.
37. Shaun O'Hara OL
Shaun O'Hara has been a staple on the Giants offensive line for several years and is slowly becoming one of the better centers they've ever had. I'm not sure he'll ever be on the level of Mel Hein historically, but he's certainly made a case for No. 2.
He anchored the Giants offensive line en route to the 2007 Super Bowl championship, a team known for it's great defensive play and the ability to tire defenses with their running attack.
The way the Giants milked the clock in the Super Bowl against the Patriots was nothing short of brilliant, and O'Hara leading the way for the lineman was a huge part of that.
36. Roosevelt Grier DT
Roosevelt Grier was another incredible piece to the puzzle that allowed the Giants to win the 1956 NFL championship. He was a monster in the middle of their defense and was elected to the All Pro team as a defensive tackle five times with the Giants.
He would go on to have an interesting post-football life, including being a body guard for the Ethel and Robert Kennedy. He famously helped subdue the assassin who claimed Robert's life.
He also became a popular actor, christian minister, author, and singer.
35. Osi Umenyiora DE
It is often argued who is the better defensive lineman on the Giants, no more so then when LeSean McCoy and Osi Umenyiora exchanged hurtful comments towards each other, which McCoy started by tweeting Osi was the third best defensive lineman on his team.
I happen to be of the mind set that Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora are perfect compliments to each other—Tuck being the better run defender and tackler and Osi being the better pass rusher.
If I had to take one guy, it would be Tuck, but it really isn't a bad choice either way.
Osi has led the Giants in sacks in all but two seasons—his rookie year and the year his missed due to injury.
34. Joe Morris RB
Joe Morris was your prototypical running back during the 1980s era. He was overshadowed by a great quarterback but never under appreciated by fans or his coach.
He had three 1000 yard seasons with the Giants and was a great asset on offense to the 1986 Super Bowl team. In 1985 he had over 1300 yards and led the league with 21 touchdowns. He then exploded in the 1986 season with over 1500 yards in 15 games, averaging 101 yards per game and had 14 rushing touchdowns.
He was great in his seven years with the Giants. He made two Pro Bowls as well as led the franchise in rushing after he retired.
33. Justin Tuck DE
Justin Tuck has emerged in the last couple of seasons as one of the best defensive ends in the NFL. He had 79 tackles and 11.5 sacks, and six forced fumbles in 2010 and was named to the second team All-Pro team and the Pro Bowl. He accomplished that same feat in 2008.
He and Osi Umenyiora are one of the best tandem's at defensive end in the NFL. Tuck is one of the leaders on defense that leads by example.
His quiet, soft spoken nature goes away when game time roles around.
32. Bart Oates OL
Bart Oates was a fixture on both of their Super Bowl championship teams. It's not a coincidence that every Giants championship team has had a great center, from Mel Hein to Shaun O'Hara.
Oates made three Pro Bowls with the New York Giants before making two more as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. He won three Super Bowls (two with New York and one with San Francisco) and is one of the most underrated players in Giants history.
I myself made the mistake of over looking him at first run through of my top 50, but I won't make that mistake again.
31. Kyle Rote WR/HB
Though originally drafted as a running back, he could do it all in college and the Giants mainly used his skills as a wide receiver.
He made four Pro Bowls with the Giants and was a part of the Giants 1956 NFL championship team. He and Frank Gifford were both elite targets for quarterback Charlie Conerly.
He totaled 5668 yards and 52 touchdowns in 11 seasons.
30. Fran Tarkenton QB
Although Fran Tarkenton is most remembered for guiding the Minnesota Vikings to several Super Bowl trips, he spent five years with the Giants between his two stints in Minnesota, making the Pro Bowl four times.
His incredible career is considered one of the top 10 in NFL history, being the first quarterback who combined elite passing ability with the threat of the run to keep defenses honest.
He finished his career holding just about every passing record, though most believe he doesn't hold a candle to Johnny Unitas because Tarkenton never won a championship.
His passing numbers were as follows: 3,686 pass completions, 47,003 passing yards, and 342 touchdowns. That number of passing touchdowns stood 30 years before passed by Dan Marino in the 90s, and he is still fourth in the category and sixth in career passing yards.
29. Jeremy Shockey TE
Jeremy Shockey was supposed to be the next Mark Bavaro. Though not as big and supposedly not as tough, Shockey was an elite blocking prospect who also had the speed to kill defenses. He played with a mean streak and looked to punish defenders at any given moment.
In essence, he was the perfect weapon.
However, his attitude and luxurious lifestyle quickly turned him off among fans. Though many loved him on the field, many grew tired of hearing stories of him partying in Panama during the off seasons and hearing that he complained to Eli Manning he didn't get the ball enough.
Though Shockey holds some records for a tight end with the Giants (receptions, yards), most agree he doesn't hold a candle to Bavaro because of the way he left.
It's a shame he left the way he did because it's pretty well known how close he was to the Mara family. Shockey was one of the people Wellington Mara requested to see prior to his death.
But that's who Shockey was, it was mostly about him and fans will not forget the way he parted.
28. Chris Snee OL
Chris Snee is one of the best guards in the NFL and will be for the next several years. He's only 29 and he's made the last three Pro Bowls and All Pro rosters.
He will definitely move up this list as his career comes to a close and will be one of the most celebrated lineman in Giants history.
Snee has been the model of consistency.
Thrusted in to the starting lineup as a rookie, he's only missed five games in his entire career, those coming in the final five of that season. He's started in every game since the 2005 season and doesn't look to relinquish his spot as the starter any time soon.
27. Rodney Hampton RB
Drafted as the next great running back in the first round of the 1990 NFL Draft, Rodney Hampton would become one of the best at the position in Giants history.
He was an integral part of the 1990 Super Bowl team, spelling Super Bowl MVP Otis Anderson on occasion, and took over the starting job the very next year.
In the next five years Hampton had five straight 1000 yard seasons and never rushed for fewer than five touchdowns. He made the Pro Bowl twice in that span.
He was a workhorse and the years began to weight on him. He had two medicore seasons in 1996 and 1997 and would retire after appearing in just two games in the 1997 season.
26. Eli Manning QB
Eli Manning, pending an injury, will likely go down as the leader in most of the Giants passing categories. He led the Giants to the most improbable Super Bowl championship ever, beating the New England Patriots who were favored by as many as 14.5 points.
He won Super Bowl MVP after leading the Giants on two 80 yard touchdown drives in the fourth quarter, famously hooking up with Plaxico Burress for the game winning score.
He has been up and down in his Giants career, often causing fans to turn on him. However more recently he's improved to that of a top 10 quarterback and will likely end his career as the greatest QB in Giants history.
25. Mark Bavaro TE
Mark Bavaro is easily the greatest tight end in Giants history, despite only having six productive years with the team. He still holds records for most yards in a single season and is tied with Jeremy Shockey for most receptions in one season.
He may not have as many yards or receptions as Shockey does, by a long shot, but he did score more touchdowns and had a reputation as one of the toughest players in the NFL.
On on particular play against the San Francisco 49ers, he carried at least seven defenders for 20 yards, including All Pro and known big hitter Ronnie Lott.
The play defined Bavaro, who's also known as 'Rambo.'
24. Brad Van Pelt LB
It's hard to keep track of the many great linebacker tandems the Giants had in the 70s and 80s, but Brad Van Pelt was part of the group called the "Crunch Bunch" who were known for punishing their opponents with devastating hits.
That group consisted of Van Pelt, Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, and Brian Kelley.
Van Pelt's career was marred by team failure—the Giants made the postseason only once in his 11 seasons with the Giants and he suffered through four head coaches before playing with Bill Parcells.
He made five Pro Bowls and was named the player of the decade for the 1970s.
23. Red Badgro WR/HB/DB
Red Badgro won't wow you with his stats or his flashy plays, he was just a great two-way player for a team that consistently contended for an NFL championship during his six years with the Giants.
Incredibly, it took the NFL until 1933 before someone scored a touchdown in a championship game, and Badgro was the first to do it, catching a 29 yard touchdown.
He was selected to the All-NFL team four times in his six years with the Giants. He was most known for his big play receptions and being one of the most shore tacklers in the entire league.
22. Amani Toomer WR
Although it seems highly likely that Amani Toomer will have most of his records shattered by either Steve Smith or Hakeem Nicks, if both stay healthy, there is no denying that Toomer is one of the best receivers the Giants have ever had.
He's never been an outstanding player and never considered one of the elite in his own time, but he had a long, steady career and was always there when his quarterback needed him.
He famously became Eli Manning's security blanket in desperate situations, rarely dropping a ball that he absolutely had to come down with.
Most people don't respect what Toomer accomplished mainly because his stats don't jump off the page, but that shouldn't matter. He still holds every major Giants receiving record and that should be enough.
21. Steve Owen OL/DL
To describe Steve Owen as a person, you need only look at the contract he signed with the Mara family when he became the team's head coach.
Oh wait, he didn't sign one. He and Tim Mara agreed he would become the head coach only on a hand shake. The agreement would last 24 years.
Before that, Owen was one of the first great lineman with the Giants. He captained the 1927 team and along side Cal Hubbard they dominated opponents by a margin of 197-20 on the way to the title.
Owen would lead the Giants to eight of the first 14 NFL Championships, winning two as the team's head coach and one as a player.
20. Jimmy Patton S
The fact that Jimmy Patton and Emlen Tunnell only got to play together for four seasons is a travesty. Emlen Tunnell is one of the best safeties of all time and Patton is right behind him on the all time list of Giants safeties.
Patton amassed 52 interceptions in 12 seasons with the Giants and made the Pro Bowl five times. He was part of six teams that made the NFL championship and a major piece to the 1956 championship team.
19. Jesse Armstead LB
The many great linebackers in the 1980s and early 90s passed the torch to Jesse Armstead, who continued to exude excellence from the position.
He was elected to the Pro Bowl five times with the Giants and led them to the Super Bowl in 2000. That Giants defense was ranked number two in the NFL and it was due in large part to the leadership and play of Armstead.
18. Joe Morrison HB/WR
Despite playing for the Giants mostly in years of turmoil, Joe Morrison did enough in his career to have his No. 40 jersey number retired.
He was a fantastic athlete who excelled both running and catching the football. By the time he called it quits he gained 2,474 rushing yards, 4993 receiving yards, and 65 total touchdowns in his career.
He had three different seasons with 30+ receptions and 100+ rushing attempts; he was your do-it-all guy and he never complained about it.
After playing with the Giants through three championship game losses in his first four years, the Giants never made it back to the post season with Morrison.
That doesn't take away from what he accomplished on the field, however.
17. Ken Strong FB/HB/K
Ken Strong was another one of those dependable players who could do just about everything on a football field. Though he spent most of the time carrying the rock, he also doubled as the team's place kicker on occasion.
His last name certainly did him justice as 206 lbs was huge for a tail back in those days.
In the 1934 championship game he set the record for most points scored by one person with 17—two touchdowns, two extra points, and one field goal. The record would stand for 30 years.
Strong made the All-NFL team five times with four different New York franchises, eight of those years being with the Giants.
16. Phil Simms QB
Phil Simms didn't get the stats of some of his peers during the 1980s boom era of quarterbacks, but he did exactly what his coach expected of him, which is the trait of a great player.
He certainly had the capability of letting it loose and being a gun slinger, but Bill Parcells turned him in to a game manager and that is all that team needed to win titles.
And win they did.
He was great at protecting the ball and rarely made mistakes that costed his team a game. His performance in the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos is legendary. In that game he went 22/25 for 268 yards and three touchdowns—a 150.9 near perfect QB rating.
The performance proved that the moment was never too big for Simms and when his team needed him in big moments he would perform.
15. George Martin DE
The New York Giants 3-4 defense of the 1980s may not have been possible were it not for the dominance of defensive end George Martin.
Though they still could have been good, a great defense does not function without great defensive line play.
Most people nowadays associate the 3-4 defensive end as mainly a run stopping specialist, but Martin could get to the quarterback as if he was playing in the 4-3. He is credited with an astonishing 96 sacks in his career with the Giants, as well as an incredible seven defensive touchdowns.
He was a big play machine and you could always count on Martin to make a big play when offenses took their eyes off him.
14. Tuffy Leemans FB/HB
"Tuffy" Leemans certainly embodied his "tuff" first name by doing just about anything and everything a team asked of him. He was the team's fullback and halfback rushing for over 3,000 yards, had over 400 receiving yards, and over 2,000 yards as a passer. He also played defense and returned punts.
Leemans made the All-Pro team in each of his first seven seasons with the Giants; it's no coincidence they were contenders during that time due to the great play of guys like Leemans and Strong.
To put it in plainly, there was nothing on the field Leemans couldn't do, and he made a name for himself that way. After his retirement in 1941, the Giants named December 7 "Tuffy Leemans Day."
Leemans' addition to the Giants in the first ever NFL draft in 1936 has an interesting story. Tim Mara was the Giants owner at the time when his young high school son Wellington told him of an incredibly talented player out of George Washington University.
The Giants drafted Leemans in the second round of that draft and Wellington would become the Giants long time owner from 1959 to 2005. He has since passed on the team to his son John; the Giants are one of very few remaining franchises who still have their original family owners.
13. Tiki Barber RB
Though not the most popular guy off the field now, you can't ignore all the records that Tiki Barber shattered in his time with the Giants.
It took a few years for him to really etch his name among the NFL's best running backs, but when he did he put to bed any notion of him being only a third down running back.
Among many other records, he's the Giants leader in rushing attempts, yards, and touchdowns—the three major categories.
He also, more amazingly, had over 5,000 receiving yards and joins only Hall of Famers Marshall Faulk and Marcus Allen as guys who rushed for over 10,000 yards and also had 5,000 receiving yards.
In my opinion, Barber is the greatest running back to put on a Giants uniform, though another player is on the list later because of his sheer versatility.
12. Charlie Conerly QB
If not for the absolute brilliance of Y.A. Tittle in his four years with the Giants, Charlie Conerly would be the greatest QB in Giants history.
Sure the record books may have Phil Simms a notch or two ahead of Conerly in terms of production, but the era of the quarterback was much different in Conerly's time.
173 touchdown passes in the 1950s looks a whole lot better than the 199 touchdown passes from Phil Simms in the 1980s, especially when so many of Simms' peers surpassed the 200 mark.
Conerly was the definition of a field general, something he likely picked up while touring with the Marines in the South Pacific during World War II. His teammates went to battle with him and he led them to greatness.
It's a damn shame Conerly played in the era he did, overshadowed by his peers Otto Graham and perhaps Norm Van Brocklin, as well as by teammates Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, and Rosey Brown (whom all appear on the list higher than Conerly and played most of their career with him as their leader).
He would likely have garnered Hall of Fame honors if it weren't for those extenuating circumstances. Gifford constantly pleaded with voters to put Conerly in the Hall but to no avail; the Giants still rewarded him by retiring his No. 42 jersey at the end of his career.
11. Arnold Weinmeister DT
Arnie Weinmeister was a larger than life talent whose career was another one cut short by service in the army. Though he played only four seasons with the Giants, he absolutely dominated on defense during that time.
In a time when over 5'9'' 200 lbs was considered a good sized man, Weinmeister sat at 6'4'', 240 lbs. He was elected to both the Pro Bowl and the All Pro team from 1950-1953 (his four years with the Jints) and remains one of the more celebrated Canadian born players in NFL history.
Not only did Weinmeister wow fans with his incredible size, but he was widely considered the fastest lineman in his era. Can you imagine the biggest lineman in the league today also being the fastest? Picture Vince Wilfork running a 4.7 forty. I'll wait.
Ok now that your jaw has closed, let's continue.
Weinmeister combined his brute strength and size with his speed to be a defensive machine, both stopping the run and rushing the passer. There was little anyone could do when Weinmeister picked up a head of steam and was one of the first defensive players to really capture the excitement from the fans.
His six year career is the shortest of any Hall of Famer in NFL history, which should tell you how dominant he was.
10. Andy Robustelli DE
Andy Robustelli's career might have been a bit more exotic had the NFL kept quarterback sacks as a stat back in those days. As it stands, he's still one of the best defensive ends to play the game and is a legend among Giants fans.
He is credited for being an emotional leader and the glue to the 1956 NFL Championship team, which was loaded with Hall of Famers.
His passing recently was a sad day for fans everywhere, and being of a younger generation only makes me wish I could have seen him play. He had an incredible work ethic; the Rams drafted him to catch passes in 1951, but already had star wide outs at the time so Robustelli dedicated himself to the defensive side of the ball.
He is a hall of famer and made the Pro Bowl and All Pro rosters seven times each.
9. Y.A. Tittle QB
Y.A. Tittle made a name for himself for the San Francisco 49ers before joining the Giants in the twilight of his career, and nobody expected him to be as successful.
He led the Giants to the Eastern title in 1961, '62, and '63, winning the NFL MVP in some fashion in all three seasons. He first came to the Giants as a resented player who was replacing team favorite Charlie Conerly, but soon won over his teammates with his unbelievable play.
Although he made the title game with the Giants those three years, the title still eluded him and people point to that as a reason why he's not in the conversation for greatest in that era.
He still holds the record, along with a couple others, for tossing seven touchdown passes in a single game. He is one of the few Giants to have his number retired.
Though the Giants only had Tittle's service for four seasons, he tossed 96 touchdowns and only 68 interceptions during those four years. That would be a great run even by today's standards.
8. Frank Gifford HB/WR
Although Tiki Barber stands alone with many of the Giants team rushing records, in terms of his greatness among his peers, he does not hold a candle to Frank Gifford.
Gifford was an offensive machine and a triple threat on offense. He could do it all; pass, run, catch, return kicks, and even played some very good defensive back.
Speaking to his incredible versatility, he made the Pro Bowl eight times and did so at three different positions—running back, defensive back, and wide receiver (flanker as it was known then).
In his career, he amassed 10,573 yards from rushing, passing, receiving, and return yards as well as 92 total touchdowns.
In 1956 he was the NFL MVP and the Giants won the NFL Championship that season.
7. Sam Huff LB
If Antonio Pierce is the latest version of the storied history of Giants linebackers, Sam Huff started that history.
Huff started his career dominating for the Giants before joining the Redskins, but he definitely made a lasting impact on the Giants to say the least. He made five Pro Bowls in eight seasons with the Giants and was named the NFL's best linebacker in 1959.
His story is an interesting one. He was drafted as a guard out of college and the head coach at the time—Jim Lee Howell—had a difficult time finding a spot for Huff. Discouraged by this, Huff left for the airport and was chased down by an assistant coach who saw talent in him.
His name was Vince Lombardi, and he convinced Huff to return. Defensive Coordinator Tom Landry created the 4-3 defense, middle linebacker Ray Beck got hurt, and the rest is history.
6. Michael Strahan DE
It's amazing the amount of great pass rushers the Giants have had over the years. From Andy Robustelli all the way to Michael Strahan, there has always been someone to carry the torch.
Strahan is the Giants All-Time leader in sacks, was defensive player of the year in 2001 and 2003—setting the single season record for sacks in '01 with 22.5—and made the Pro Bowl seven times.
He is leaving his mark off the field seemingly as much as he did on it. He joined FOX NFL Sunday's crew after he retired in 2008, he had a short lived stint on FOX with his own sitcom, and is a candidate to replace Regis Philbin on his famed television show Live with Regis and Kelly.
That said, he'll probably never become as popular as an actor as when he was dominating on the football field.
5. Mel Hein OL
If there is anyone who could challenge Rosey Brown as the Giants best offensive lineman, it's Mel Hein. Hein is the first and only offensive lineman to win the MVP award, playing 15 years with the Giants and never missed a single game due to injury.
He retired in 1945, was one of the first inductees in to the Hall of Fame when it opened in 1963, named the starting center on the NFL's 50th anniversary team, and even named No. 74 on The Sporting News' Top 100 players of all time.
Hein was Chuck Bednarik before there was a Chuck Bednarik; he dominated as the team's starting center and middle linebacker, often making as many plays on defense as he did opening holes on offense.
According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame website, Hein played 60 minutes a game and only called a timeout for himself once, so the people on the sideline could repair a broken nose and he could get back in to the game.
4. Harry Carson LB
What Harry Carson meant to the Giants during the Bill Parcells era is difficult to put in to words. While Lawrence Taylor was dominating during that time, it was no secret who was the leader and captain of that those teams.
To put it in perspective, I asked my Dad before one Christmas if he could choose between getting a Carson or Taylor jersey, he spoke the name Carson before I could even finish the question, and the No. 53 jersey now sits in his closet.
Carson played the game with reckless abandoned and rarely missed games due to injury. He was the most dominant when the moment was greatest, signifying the characteristic of a truly great player.
He was part of two great linebacker groups, first playing with Taylor, Brad Van Pelt, and Brian Kelley in what was known as the "Crunch Bunch."
Carl Banks, Taylor, Carson, and Gary Reasons were arguably the greatest linebacker crew to ever suit up, getting dubbed the "Big Blue Wrecking Crew" in 1986. The Giants went 14-2 that year and only allowed 23 points in three playoff games en route to the title.
3. Emlen Tummel S
Emlen Tunnel is another player who will last through the history of the NFL as one of the greatest defensive players ever. The first African American player for the Giants as well as the first African American player to be elected to the Hall of Fame, Tunnell was definitely influential off the field as much as he was on it.
In one year, Tunnell actually had more interception and kick return yards than the NFL's leading rusher. He was known as the "offense on defense" in the famed Umbrella defense.
He's on any sane person's list of the greatest players of all time, and rightfully so. He had 79 interceptions in his career, second only to the career leader Paul Krause who has 81.
Tunnell was one of the reasons Steve Owen's famed umbrella defense worked so well. It was designed to keep everything in front of four defensive backs whose job was to make life hell for opposing passers.
In his first 10 years in the league, Tunnell never had less than six interceptions in any one season. He made nine Pro Bowls and his 79 picks were a record at the time of his retirement.
2. Rosey Brown OL
Easily the greatest offensive lineman in the New York Giants history, Rosey Brown led the way for many great offensive players, including Charlie Conerly, Y.A. Tittle, and Frank Gifford.
A center piece on the 1956 championship and a member of the Giants coaching staff/scouting for many years after his retirement, his career on and off the field is something to marvel at.
He made nine Pro Bowls and was named the 56th best player on the The Sporting News' top 100 list. Brown was not necessarily the first great athlete to play offensive line, but he may have been the first most gifted athlete at his size. He was very quick with his feet and it was impossible to get around him, using those quick feet with his long arms to keep guys in front of him.
This is why many consider him to be the greatest pass blocker of his era. Charlie Conerly owes a lot of his success to the protection he received from Brown.
Brown is one of those guys that could have made it in any time period, and I truly believe that
1. Lawrence Taylor OLB
This isn't even close. Anyone who doesn't have Lawrence Taylor as the greatest player in Giants history is kidding themselves.
Not only that, but he is arguably the greatest defender and player to ever play the game. He is one of only two defensive players that have won the AP NFL MVP award, won Defensive Player of the year three times, made 10 Pro Bowls, 10 All Pro selections, and won two Super Bowls with the Giants.
For a team most known for their defensive prowess, L.T. set the bar higher than anyone had before and no one has come even close to reaching that height since.
The 3-4 defense was created for him specifically so he could showcase his abilities and tenacity. Not only could he defend the pass and run with the best of them, but he was unbelievable at rushing the passer. He was truly one of those players that just couldn't be stopped.
To say offensive coordinators had nightmares on Saturday nights is an understatement.

A foolish formula
So what is it to be wise?
I'm certainly not sure at all.
But, to seek a formula for wisdom
must be the most foolish thing of all.
A Wish
May the light of moonbeams
be our kiss goodnight
May the clouds be our
blanket to help keep us warm
May the rain be our
morning shower to awaken
May the clear blue sky be our
nourishment and energy
May the rainbow show us
that all is emanation;
all is a symbol of itself,
and all is well.
To see 'ambition' as a desirable quality,
is to have to accept a lack of contentment.
For one goal achieved means another is sought,
otherwise ambition lies fallow.
But in all things there usually lies a paradox;
so I will seek the ultimate ambitious aim
by attempting to settle for contentment.
As we are
By beautifying the body
we often reveal
the ugliness of the mind.
Atmore Terrace
With the right tool,
a tight grip,
and shells
that oblige,
A couple of joyful hours
can be spent cracking walnuts.
Bird song
When thoughts appear
like fleeting bird song,
the wind of non-distraction
carries them away.
The united roar of cicadas
forms a blanket of sound.
So constant and determined
they make silence an illusion.
Individual sounds make one sound
and that sound goes undiscerned.
It is there, but we do not notice,
so all encompassing it remains hidden.
Clouds and Waves
Thoughts are clouds in the sky.
You watch as they pass over pure blue.
Sometimes they blow through so quickly.
Sometimes they move slowly, lingering on.
But when the mind is undisturbed,
no clouds appear, there is just pure sky.
Thoughts are waves on the ocean.
You watch as they crash in the water.
Sometimes the crests loom large.
Sometimes the crests barely bloom at all.
But when the mind is undisturbed,
no waves appear, there is just pure ocean.
Compassion versus Pity
Pity is the child of pride,
compassion is the kin of humility.
The former merely reinforces
selfish superiority,
while the latter engages
action through equality.
Go Beyond
In order to transcend suffering,
to transcend that old question 'Why?'
You must transcend your designation,
transcend boundaries, even transcend God.
Go beyond, go beyond them all,
flow into space and acceptance,
then with patience and restful joy
you will gently muse, 'Why not!'
The luminosity of the tree's green leaves
proclaims its' aliveness.
It is awake – enlightened.
Its' vibrancy combined with my own
mental acuity raises the question,
"Why am I still asleep?"
Iron pillows
The cold wrought iron manacles
that bind us in Samsara,
are the cotton wool pillows
that bring comfort in Nirvana.
Mirror drawing maze Mahamudra
To see in reverse and make the
hand follow a contrary path:
the mirror drawing maze.
To give up ego-grasping,
to acknowledge no-self:
the profound path of Mahamudra.
The hand staggers from point
to point, corner to corner,
line to line.
The mind lurches from solidity
to solidity, form to form,
thing to thing.
With practice the hand steadies
and the maze can be
accomplished smoothly.
With practice the realization
of emptiness and luminosity
is stabilized.
The mirror-maze is just reflection:
the drawing a projection
of the mind.
The Mandala appears everywhere –
it is form; it is emptiness.
All that arises is mere appearance.
No more searching
So many idle their time
in trying to find themselves,
when there is no one to find.
We attribute people's woes
to their lack of identity,
but there is no true identity.
As in and out groups of dualism,
identity causes many problems,
so identity is not the solution.
The antidote to identity is no-self:
stop looking –
there is nothing you lack!
Obstacles on the path,
become the path.
So there are no obstacles!
We can create obstacles
if we choose – leave
the path and soon weeds
appear to trip us up.
But they are just illusion –
The path is always clear.
There are obstacles and
there are no obstacles for
they become the vehicle.
Everything is wide open
The world
The universe
We are all wide open
Pine needle
A pine needle falls –
Bringing great joy!
It falls by cause and effect,
Having no inherent existence.
To be wise and seen as a fool,
to be a fool who's seen as wise,
Is there any difference between the two
to the man who knows his own mind?
Songs of all languages
I listen to songs in African,
German, Indian, and Japanese.
It does not matter which language
I understand them all with ease.
Without being able to translate,
I recognise the same shared meaning:
they all want happiness
and to be free from suffering.
Now this song sings the same,
as all songs and beings are of a nature
that is shared and inseparable:
the ultimate truth – Buddha nature.
Sun Sounds
The sound of the sun
on freshly rained grass
brings out the awakening
dew of the lotus heart
The Journey of Mahamudra
The infant sees the path,
and wants to move quickly along it;
but,as of yet does not have the means.
This is the ground of Mahamudra.
The child finds the bicycle,
and learns to ride with stabilizers
and supervision.
The point is reached where the child
no longer has to rely solely on stabilizers.
Without them she is free to navigate
the path in a position of skill
and understanding.
This is the path of Mahamudra.
As she progresses further along the path
stabilizers are no longer needed at all.
Eventually a supervisor is unnecessary.
The ground is realized, the path traversed,
and she is adult and she is liberated.
This is the fruition of Mahamudra.
The Swing
Swinging , like a child, on my breath:
in and out, in and out.
The inhale backward
The exhale forward.
Between the body and
gravity's forces is
a moment of space.
Space where the mind is
free from exertion,
but it is alert, aware, and joyful.
To swing without swinging
and remain free in space –
this is the desired result.

Neither he nor Hillary look or sound good anymore. Decades of political power and wealth greed, wheeling, dealing, lying, cheating and using their positions of government power to fuck-over this nation have revealed this Nosferatu and Wasp Woman for who and what they are, and always have been…
WaPo: In Las Vegas for his wife, Bill Clinton cautions against voting based on 'road rage'
Subbing for a sick wife, former president Bill Clinton delivered a meandering, folksy speech in this presidential battleground state on Wednesday, arguing that Americans should choose "answers, not anger" and elect his spouse.
Over the course of about 40 minutes, the former president spoke dismissively of Hillary Clinton's email scandal, argued that Donald Trump's immigration proposals are misguided and suggested that the Republican nominee's call to "make America great again" was racially tinged code for rolling the clock back 50 years.
Clinton also reported that his wife, who was diagnosed Friday with pneumonia, is on the mend, only he referred to her as having the flu.
Speaking in a state that he carried twice but polls suggest is surprisingly tight this year, Clinton framed the election as a choice between a candidate who's served others her entire life and is offering solid policy proposals and one who is appealing to a sense of "road rage" in the country.
Speaking of Trump's slogan, "Make America Great Again," he said he was among those who knows what Trump really means — suggesting it's a reference to a time when the racial order in the country was different.
"You have to be a certain age, and it helps to be a white Southern man — I know what that means," he said.
The former president knocked the media for having spent so much time covering his wife's use of a private email server while secretary of state, a practice that he said has yielded nothing disqualifying.
Oh, sure, Willie, that trip to the Arizona tarmac paid off nicely for Hillary, eh? Lying bastard.
And "road rage"???
And then he goes on to 'fearmongering' (which only democrats are allowed to do, for some fucking reason) that Trump will be returning the nation to "Whites Only" pre-civil rights era, or some fucking bullshit. Has this shriveled up, Robert KKK Byrd apologist, horn-dogging, good old boy not seen this nation's college campuses where black students are not only refusing to bunk with white roommates in dorms, but insist on self-segregated blacks only dorms and blacks only' areas/spaces on campus???
Trump doesn't have to take this country back to your good-old-boy days in the south, Willie. Obama and his SJW and BLM pals have done a pretty successful job of that racist shit over these last 8 years.
What's next, Bill? "Trump and the deplorables are gonna put you back in chaaaayuns!!!"?? Does anybody seriously still believe this broken record election year bullshit from democrats.
I am so damn sick and tired of hearing how these two have spent the better part of their adult lives "in service to America", when they have, and always will be, self-serving political whores who have played all ends against middle America … and they have the wealth and criminal Teflon to show for it.
At some point the old bull and the sagging nag have to realize the rodeo has left them behind in their own clumped-up crap…
Politico: Bill Clinton is no longer the closer: Democrats cast the former president as a B-team surrogate with limited value on the trail.
Medical Community Questions Diagnosis, Treatment…
KATZENBERG: Hillary Is Rock of Gibraltar…

In 1933, Classic European Gold Coins were immune from appropriation, because their owners claimed their caches as being collections and Executive Order 6102 specifically exempted, "coins having recognized special value to collectors of rare and unusual coins."
Today, however, the numismatic value of these pre-1933 Classic European Gold Coins is often outweighed by their gold content. For example, the 1930 Danish Gold 20 Kroner contains 0.2592 oz. of .900 fine gold, and is typically priced as bullion, notwithstanding its value as a collectors' item. Other Classic European Gold Coins fitting this description include the British Sovereign, French Rooster, Swiss Helvetia, and Austrian Ducat.
The 1930 Danish Gold 20 Kroner coin is, of course, only one of the thousands of Pre-1933 European Gold Coins, each of which was unique as to its size, weight, and purity, determined by its make, denomination, and country of origin.
Pre-1933 European Gold Coins are a popular means of owning gold because their often-fractional denominations (usually one-fifth to one-quarter ounce) would probably allow them to be easily traded for goods and services.
Goldmart.com is pleased to offer Pre-1933 European Gold Coins for delivery to customers throughout the United States and Canada.

Probation Trusts have responsibility for young adult offenders (aged 18-20) serving court orders in the community. For juvenile offenders under the age of 18, that role falls to the Youth Justice Board (YJB) and regional Youth Offender Services (YOS).
Young adults make up a third of the probation service's current caseload. Effective interventions for young adult offenders can save society large sums of money in terms of reduced criminal justice costs through diversion from crime.
The PCA recognises that a multi-agency approach works most effectively with young people and so it welcomes working in collaboration with other statutory organisations such as the Youth Justice Board (YJB) and interested third sector providers and pressure groups to ensure that the Young Adult offender agenda is moved on.
Young adult offenders are at a point of transition, moving from YOS management to Probation, and moving from being sentenced by Youth Courts to Adult Courts. Recent findings have demonstrated that taking a tailored and person centred approach to each young adult offender offers the best chance of success.
The process of transferring the case management of young people from YOS to Adult Probation has historically been variable across England and Wales. It is important to establish minimum standards for this process to ensure adequate quality of service is provided to young people undergoing this transition to reduce the numbers failing to comply with their changed supervision arrangements. Improving this process will also require the development of improved links between YOSs and local Probation Trusts, and methods of passing secure information quickly between the two agencies.
The PCA welcomes the publication of the YJB's Youth to Adult Transitions Framework (2012) and considers its advice to both Youth Offending Teams and Probation Trusts to develop local youth to adult transition protocols extremely useful. The PCA also welcomes the October 2012 publication of the HMIP thematic inspection into Youth to Adult Transitions.
Sentencing Council guideline pronouncements have demanded that sentencers and court report writers take into account issues of "maturity" when determining sentence. The assessment of maturity is a neglected arena and urgent work needs to be undertaken to produce widely accepted frameworks or such assessments. On a related note, practitioners also need guidance on how best to intervene with those identified as lacking such maturity to enable the young person to obtain more pro-social attitudes.
The PCA fully supports the work currently being undertaken by the Barrow Cadbury Trust, Birmingham University and several Probation Trusts in developing an assessment tool to aid court report writers to more accurately measure young adult maturity.
Given the comparative neglect until recent times of the specific issues pertaining to young adult offenders, there has been little research or attention paid to other possible interventions. For example, it is now timely to examine the place Attendance Centres can play in reducing the offending rates of some young adults. Promising early results have been found from Probation Trusts implementing Intensive Alternative to Custody (IAC) programmes for this age group.
The PCA aims to evaluate the effectiveness of IAC schemes for young adults across England and Wales and seeks to promote the use of intensive community orders as effective methods of both avoiding the use of custody and providing an intervention that is proved to reduce re-offending.
The PCA's Youth Justice & Young Adult Offenders policy portfolio is lead by Andrew Hillas, Assistant Chief Officer at London Probation Trust. For queries and contributions to the group please contact the lead here.

AFL Recap: Week 4 - Gonsalves Returns To Action
Gonsalves made his return to the starting rotation for Friday's contest against the Salt River Rafters. As he had not pitched in a couple of weeks, it was a short appearance for him and he had to shake off a little rust.
He walked the first batter of the game, and then hit the second with a pitch to put two runners on. A line out to right field from the next hitter advanced the lead runner to third, and then a fielder's choice ground out scored the first run but got an out at second. This means the batter ended up on first base and this is where the game recap gets a little confusing. With two outs, the next batter singled to center field, and the runner who was on first…scored? However this anomaly went down this accounted for the two earned runs allowed in Gonsalves' line.
His second inning went much better and was of the one-two-three variety, with all three outs coming via ground outs to third base. Gonsalves threw thirty-three pitches total in his return to AFL action, with nineteen of those going for strikes.
Nick Gordon – 3 games, 4-12, 3 R's, 3B, RBI, BB, 6 K's, SB.
On Halloween, Surprise and Glendale were locked in 0-0 pitching staff duel until the eighth inning, when two Twins prospects broke the tie. Tanner English led off the frame with a single, and Gordon promptly drove him in with a triple for the game's first run. Gordon scored his team's second run on a double later in the inning and that was it in the 2-0 win.
In a somewhat scary play to start the game, Gordon shook off a 90-MPH fastball to his helmet to stay in the game and then stole his fifth base, but was left stranded.
On Wednesday, Gordon again was in the leadoff spot for the Saguaros 6-0 win over Peoria, but he didn't factor into the box score much in this one. His 0-4 day included two strikeouts.
He would make up for that on Friday, though his team came out on the losing end in the extra-inning affair against Salt River. Down 2-0 after the top of the inning started by Gonsalves, Gordon led off with a single in the bottom half. He later scored on a double that also tied the game at two. After strikeouts to end each of the second and fourth innings, Gordon led off the seventh inning with a single, and trotted the bases on a home run from the next batter. With the game tied at six in the eighth, Gordon again reached base with a single, but was caught stealing second for the inning's final out.
Gordon was also the Twins lone representative in Saturday's Fall Stars game, which his West division squad won 12-4. He was the leadoff man, and finished 0-3 with three ground outs before the mass substitutions came into play.
For some more reading, check out Baseball America's feature on Gordon, where it discusses what he's working on in the AFL.
Mitch Garver – 3 games, 1-11, R, HR, 2 RBI, BB, 4 K's.
It was a bit of a quiet week for Garver, but his lone hit was a big one that came in the first inning of Wednesday's game against Peoria. With a runner on second, Garver blasted his fourth AFL home run to make it 2-0, and they never looked back in the 6-0 win. He was the designated hitter in this one.
Earlier in the week on Hallow's Eve, Garver was 0-4 with a pair of strikeouts while playing catcher. He did however, cut down top Dodgers prospect Cody Bellinger at second on a steal attempt late in the game.
On Thursday Garver was back behind the plate, but finished his day 0-3. He drew a two-out walk in the third inning, but advanced no further than that. He also had a throwing error on the defensive side.
Tanner English – 3 games, 2-9, 2 R's, 3B, RBI, BB, 4 K's.
English saw action in the same three games as Garver during the week, playing center field in each.
As mentioned above, in their Halloween win English broke the stalemate with single leading off the eighth inning and came around to score the first run of the game on Gordon's triple that followed.
In Wednesday's shutout victory, he drew a walk in the second inning but played a bigger part in the Saguaros three-run fifth to break the game open. His triple drove in the first run of the inning, and he scored the second on a wild pitch.
In Thursday's 3-1 loss to Mesa, English moved up a spot in the batting order to eighth, but went 0-3 with a pair of strikeouts to halt his hitting streak at six games.
Mason Melotakis – 2 games, 2.0 IP, 4 H's, 2 K's, 1.00 ERA (overall).
Melotakis picked up the win on Halloween as he pitched the top of the eighth inning before his organizational teammates accounted for Surprise's two runs in the bottom half. He got through the inning without allowing a run, but it wasn't quite that easy. Cody Bellinger led off with a single, but that's when Garver cut him down trying to move into scoring position. An error and a single later put runners on first and third, but he got the final out on a pop-out to end the threat.
In Thursday's loss to Mesa, Melotakis again got the eighth inning, and again he had to work out of a jam. The first two batters reached on ground ball singles to center field, but that's when he bucked up. Two strikeouts and a grounder later he was out of the inning and had lowered his Fall League ERA to an even 1.00.
Randy Rosario – 2 games, 2.0 IP, 3 H's, K, 5.59 ERA (overall).
The lefty Rosario got the sixth inning on Halloween and kept the game tied at zero with a scoreless inning. He did allow two singles including one to the leadoff batter, but with two outs and runners on the corners he closed the door on the rally with a strikeout.
Like Melotakis, Rosario also saw action in Thurday's 3-1 loss, pitching the fifth inning in that one to relieve the Saguaros starter Tanner Anderson. The leadoff man again reached base with a single, but essentially two sacrifice bunts (one legit, one a weak tapper back to him on the mound) and a can of corn later he had a scoreless inning in the book.
John Curtiss – 2 games, 2.0 IP, 3 K's, 3.72 ERA (overall).
Curtiss had two solid appearances on the week, pitching in Wednesday's win and Friday's extra-inning loss.
In the victory, he was the first reliever up after their starter finished the first four innings, and made quick work of the Javelinas lineup after the offense had made it 5-0 in the top-half. He bookended his inning with strikeouts and threw just ten pitches (seven for strikes).
On Friday he pitched the seventh inning, again making short work of the opposing lineup to keep the game tied at six. On eleven pitches he picked up two ground ball outs to third, and ended the inning with a strikeout, his fourteenth on the AFL season in 8.2 innings pitched (that's a good ratio, if you were wondering).
Please feel free to ask questions and discuss the performances during the week!

Come Out And Play: Singing In The Rain
One night shortly after being diagnosed with post polio syndrome, I had a dream that I came out of my leg brace and was splashing around in the rain much like Gene Kelly did in Singing in the Rain.
When I woke up, I penned this poem:
Come Out and Play
Arms flung open wide dancing in the rain
pure abiding joy to feel alive again
healing tears fall and blend in God's puddle
no time to sit in a corner and huddle
all the old rules driven by fears
washed away now by God's loving tears
the imprint dad left no longer remains
rain washes away all of the stains
baptized with love, Truth lights my way
the sun shines through on this rainy day
splashing and laughing my heart opens wide
embracing and flowing I'm one with the tide
God takes my hand release the old way
bathe in my glory come out and play!
Yesterday I had a lunch date with my friend. I thought she was coming to my house; she thought we were meeting downtown. No matter...we decided that I'd go in town to meet her. As we prepared to say goodbye we saw the sky get dark. I didn't even know there was a chance of showers so did not bring my umbrella which I usually carry with me especially during summertime in Boston. She asked me if I had an umbrella as the rain started to come down.
"Nope. I'm gonna go run in the rain." We hugged goodbye and off I went.
Because I contracted paralytic polio at the age of 5, I never experienced the normal childhood pleasure of splashing in puddles. Throw in an abusive and alcoholic father that I reference in my poem, and my life was constricted and restricted.
But...as the saying goes:
Within the first 5 minutes, I was soaked to the skin. There was thunder and lightning. I ran under the awning of the buildings as best as I could and made a few stops but nothing was going to cramp my style yesterday!
I stopped in one doorway and a woman said that if she didn't have to be at work, she'd be out there with me. We were laughing together at the elements and enjoying this splendid display of the Divine. There was a mailman who was concerned about me. He wanted to give me a ride to my car which was still a block or so away but I knew from my work at the VA that he could get fired for doing so. We had a wonderful conversation and he offered me an empty plastic bucket from the post office to put over my head:
He told me to make sure that I tucked my phone away someplace safe and wished me well on my journey to my car.
I splashed through the deep puddles and felt my clothes stick to my skin as thunder and lightning crashed above me. I felt totally safe and protected feeling a profound connection to God.
I laughed out loud when I got to my car and turned on the defroster because the combination of the hot car with the downpours of rain caused the windows to completely fog up. My hair was soaked as was my pocket book and the backpack I was carrying. One of my journal notebooks that I brought with me in case I had to wait for my friend got ruined. I knew it was a sign that it was time to start a new one and leave everything that I had written in that one behind!
Within minutes the skies cleared.
I could have waited for the storm to pass but life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass but about singing and dancing in the rain.
That was the first time that I'd ever done anything like that in my life...somehow I have a feeling that it won't be the last!
"Come Out and Play" is included in my latest book of inspirational poetry, "Feel the Heal: An Anthology of Poems to Heal Your Life," available along with all of my books on Amazon.

I finally got a picture to post for a challenge. The challenge leader had to post the tag for it. She complemented me on the card!!! Her name is Lee and she makes beautiful cards. Of course I really don't know how I did it. I tried so many things and then I couldn't find where it was posted. Anyway--here is the picture (I hope). Not very good - I scanned it on the computer. I guess I'd better get my camera and photo box out.
