Akbar correctly guessed them all, Good Job !

I mis spoke earlier and said that the first ticket was "the drive" when actually it is the game known as the fumble and the last ticket is the drive ticket.

So which game is the real "the fumble" game? Byner or Csonka? I vote Csonka.

tennesseebanker

From my memory (which may be a bit off) Csonka never received the ball on the "Miracle at the Meadowlands", and the fumble has always been credited to Pisarcik. I have heard that game called "The Fumble" as well especially amoung Giants fans, but I believe it has been more commonly referred to by the " Miracle in the Meadowlands". (I assume this is the Csonka fumble you were referring to.)

I think it depends on which fan base you are talking with at the time. If you asked a Browns fan about "The Fumble" Im sure they would cite the Byner fumble.

tkd7

Yes, when I said Csonka fumble I am referring to the botched handoff between Pisarcik and Csonka, I just didn't want to botch the spelling of Pisarcik.

Living in NJ then and now it is never referred to as the Miracle at the Meadowlands, maybe because that really sounds like a stupid name. It will always be the Fumble and shame on those pesky Browns fans for not coming up with an original name.

tennesseebanker

I'm sure it was the Philly fan base who came up witht the moniker of Miracle in the Meadowlands. To Giants fans like myself, it wasnt a miracle, and may have charred my early childhood.
The game a couple of years ago when the Eagles came from behind to beat the Giants with Desean Jackson returning a punt for the winning touchdown is now referred to as the Miracle in the MEadowlands II (FWIW).

tkd7

And I thought the Brian Westbrook punt return for a TD was the Miracle at the Meadowlands II. Philly fans can't even keep their miracles straight.

But in the end the joke is on Philly. That fumble led to the Giants getting George Young, drafting Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor, and the ascent of Bill Parcells to coach. The rest is Vince Lombardi trophies.
