The most intriguing sidelight locally was the pre-game talk by Coughlin before the Giants-Cowboys playoff game. He told his team that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones put two tickets to the NFC championship game on the stool of each player.
"They've already won this game," said Manning, reflecting on Coughlin's words. "Why do we need to show up?"
After the Giants upset the Cowboys 21-17, Coughlin told his team: "I don't want anybody talking about this in the media – but Jerry just sent the tickets over, so we're all set."
For the record, Jones didn't leave any tickets on player stools. Label this one a motivational ploy.
Of course, if Cowboys block someone and Crayton doesn't choke, it's all moot.
