Pat Summerall & John Madden. The 2 BEST announcers to ever call a football game. Madden would draw out (chalk board style) on the screen of the plays & explain what exactly happened & why. #legendsofthefall
@@juliansmith4352 oh, no argument there. I think there were games that summerall called when he was totally shit faced. I'd still take him over joe buck. John Madden got a lot of flack for how he announced. But here's why he's great; he could explain a play so that a five year old(me) knew what the hell was going on. They both played and coached, too. That's a big part. Look at the 1990 nfc championship game at the end, they had a long shot of Matt Bahr waiting, and he said "That's a lonely world, believe me " that's why he's great.
Best setting for a Super Bowl, no question! I hated the Giants as a 49er fan, but this performance by Phil Simms and Elway was pretty amazing. Lots of respect for Simms.
Lots of respect for Joe Montana too, though I hated the 49ers at that time, I can really respect him looking back. You can keep Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, and whats-his-name in Philadelphia. Montana was the true GOAT.
I remember this game like it was yesterday brother.....I was 9 years old when I fell in love with my New York FOOTBALL Giants.... growing up in Staten Island was awesome back in the days and even at 9 years old I KNEW this would be my team for life. I remember drawing a poster for my Dad's Superbowl party...... I'm just a BIG a fan now than I ever was back in 86'. Thanks for uploading this CLASSIC gem. Go Giants NATION!!!
I was 11 when this game happened and was a Giants fan from when I was small. I also loved the Jets, but the 86 Giants were running things that year. I watched every game that year and couldn't believe we made it to the Super Bowl. And when we won, NY was an amazing place to be. Our first Super Bowl appearance and we win!.
I hear you. This was the first football game I ever watched, though I was 10 at the time. I'm a 3rd generation Giants fan and this game was played on my dad's birthday. After suffering all those years, what a birthday present to see the Giants win their first championship in 23 years.
Surprised Pats didn't do that also but after looking it up they won 3 times on Fox 2 on CBS and 1 on NBC they missed on ABC. 2006 Jan was last SB on ABC. Pats missed out on that one and 2003 Jan SB on ABC when they started their run in 2001.
@@kevinburke6055 I was thinking Patriots might've been close to doing the sweep of the networks but it does seem like most of their's were on FOX. Damn. There hasn't been a Super Bowl on ABC in a long time. I miss Monday Night Football on ABC. I remember watching it every week in the early 2000s, and late 90s. When it had Al Michaels and John Madden commentating.
late 1986-early 1987, New York was on a roll, first the Mets win the World Series, then the Giants win the Super Bowl, it was their first in franchise history.
Yeah, '84 through '86 was a great time for New York sports. Would have been even better if the Wild Card had been in existence in Baseball. The Giants learned to win again. So did the Mets. The Yankees were in the hunt for a good deal of the season in '86. Managed to win 90 games despite the utter lack of quality starting pitching. Sweet Lou proved he could manage a team that year.
@@bigdrew565 1980-83 the new york islanders dynasty best team in nhl history even though it was mostly a long island thing they still count as new york area team
02:44:43 FLEA FLICKER Also, McConkey's awesome tipped catch at 02:58:51 is one of my favorite Super Bowl TDs. Lol the way he protects the ball on the sidelines is hilarious. I don't even remember seeing that live. Thanks for posting the whole game!
Broncos fan here. That goal line stand by the Giants was the game. The play calling by Reeves was so Landry like. Always out thinking himself. All credit to the G Men though. Great first half.
Agreed. I was 10 years old during this game and remember watching it with my ol man. My kids ask what it was like growing up in the 80’s-90’s. I tell them but I see it makes them sad and depressed. Cause now they see how much our country has deteriorated since. You’re right. It’s definitely not the same anymore. My kids have a front row seat to this shit show circus we call America.
So true. I was 12 years old in 1986. Watching the Giants win this Superbowl was so sweet.l loved growing up in the 80's. Our country was so much better then. I really miss those days very much. Football then was excellent. Football now has changed and not for the better. Our country is a mess. It is nice to watch old games like this and go back in time for a little while.
Thanks Ken! Of all the games that get through lol blows my mind. I'll never understand. I feel like 90 percent of the games that don't get through are Giants games. Bummer. Thanks buddy. Go Giants!!
Thanks for showing this it brought back great memories I remember my young son and me watching we couldn’t believe they won but also sad memories because he is no longer with us he went to heaven yrs ago
As a Redskins fan, the Giants beat us in all 3 meetings that season. Just too good, one of the best teams ever. Love all these Super Bowls from the 70's & 80's

Ironically, two pieces of music best known for their use in college athletics made their debut on this Super Bowl. One was the theme later used for college telecasts, the other was David Barrett's "Golden Street Prelude", which was supposed to lead into "One Shining Moment" before the latter was yanked. Then again, had CBS used One Shining Moment after the Super Bowl instead of the NCAA, it may not have become the annual tradition it is now.
I came here from someone else saying this is where the CBS college football theme song originated from. Are you able to time stamp where I can hear it?
@@cosmosaic8117 Also, we hear the great, late CBS Sports announcer Don Robertson on that sponsor plug-- he was one of the best (and IMO, probably the best) ever to announce for a network's sports broadcasts.

Always good to relive one of the most indelible memories of my childhood - Andy Headen telling the cameraman "Hey man, get the fuck outta here" during the introductions.
thanx for this. i somehow lost my own 'ripped from VHS' files for this game so it's nice to see. also, i too recorded it off of Ch 3 in Hartford and i remember Don Lark and Gayle King as well as most of the commercials. what a coincidence.
First of all, I just found out they don't make Slice anymore, at least not like they did back then. Secondly, I remember the John Hancock commercial. That was one of the simplest, sweetest commercials I remember from my childhood.
This was the first Superbowl I watched where I was beginning to understand the rules. I recorded it off the tv, and have redorded every Superbowl since.
Banks was the Giants best player on defense in the '86 Playoffs. I know that sounds like blasphemy, especially considering LT was on the other side but when you go and rewatch the Niners game (I think this was the best game of Banks' entire career) then the Redskins and Broncos games, you can't help but notice #58 flying around, making all kinds of plays. Great season and great player.
Ken Gelman .....I agree with you. The game against the Niners in the ‘86 playoffs....Banks played as if he was out of his mind. One of Parcells’ best decisions was advocating for Banks to be selected in the 1984 Draft.
@@kengelman1011 I think Carl Banks' performance is probably one of a handful after Super Bowl XII (the only time two players, Randy White and Harvey Martin, were both named MVP) where I could see a case made for more than one Super Bowl MVP (James Washington in Super Bowl XXVIII being another example)
Two things: 1.Summerall and Madden are the best! I'd almost forgotten how good they are! 2. When they were talking about Perry Williams "clearing the cobwebs", the fact that it was taken so lightly and expected that the players just deal with serious head injuries and concussions like a sprained ankle, was very scary.
if u happened to stay on for the entire broadcast and watch the interviews at the end u may hv the same opinion as me..there was some real class acts in that giants org.. they were ( in no particular order) mr.wellington mara, mr. bill parcells, mr. phil simms, mr. carl banks and mr. george martin..just class, class, class!..on the other hand , dan reeves still trying to score a td with 1 min to go and NO chance of winning? not so much..ps thanks mr gelman for making another great giants gm available! it made me feel young! Lol LOVED THAT TEAM!
A trivia tidbit that hopefully will NOT be repeated...Phil McConkey remains the only player in Super Bowl history to find a loaded gun on the field at game's end...
Great little moment when Neil Diamond runs off the field after singing the national anthem, taps Bill Parcels on the shoulder. Bill being Bill didn’t notice Neil until he had already ran past him, yells something at Neil out of respect but probably already 10 plays into the game. Classic…
If Denver would have capitalized of all their chances in the first half who knows if the Giants would have won. Denver was demoralized on the second half.
@GIL Favor he came to Denver in 1981 then he got John Elway in 1983 won 3 AFC conference championship went to the New York Giants in his 1st year restored back with a 12-4 record in 1997 became the Atlanta Falcons coach after a 1-7 start they won 6 of their last 7 which set the for 1998 for their 1st division title since 1980 thru heart surgery won the NFC championship
You could also say he was carried by a weaker conference putting 3 afc titles on his resume in the 80’s and he was a little lucky the 49ers didn’t win through in 97 and 98 as I think they would have been a much worse match up for him .
That's not accurate. The Orange Crush was established long before Elway came along and was instrumental to the cause. It's especially annoying given how well Craig Morton played in Elway's absence. Revisionist history at work. Elway made Denver better. But he wasn't carrying anyone.
Actually I think it was another coach that gave Elway more impressive stats and no it wasn't Mike Shanahan although he was also among those who assisted him.
Like I said that's balderdash. Denver was quite competent and actually quite competitive without Elway. Elway maybe made the difference as far as getting there but a championship is rarely about an individual. He was always so disappointing in the Super Bowl. Honestly I thought he wouldn't win it.
Damn poor Denver football team. That safety could have been avoided and two missed kicks. Shoulduh woulduh could have be up 16-7 at halftime. Asking what if? Maybe a couple more kicks in the second half enough to hold on 23-? ~ Brian
Damn poor Denver football team. By the two hour 33 minute mark had they done the above at worst would be up by two with giants with the ball. No wonder Reeves was pissed! ~ Brian
Forgot how much better the Super Bowl used to be in every aspect than it is now. Outdoors during the day, played on grass (usually). Halftime show was more tasteful and low key as well, rather than the glitzy commercialized garbage they showcase now.
48:44 Just going out on a limb here, but I think the Giants DC Bill Belicheck might have a future as a head coach. Just a hunch. (Comment pre-aged for your viewing pleasure)
We need to have some sunlight Super Bowls. It’s great for pictures and those pictures make for magazines and lots of tangeble publications. The NFL doesn’t need to bow to technology or social media. They have an audience that Trumps those outlets
I think the one team that would’ve given the Giants the tougher matchup in Pasadena that year would’ve have been Cleveland. I say that because their secondary had two shutdown corners in Dixon and Minnefield. That being said, I think, in the second half, adjustments would’ve been made and the Giants would have beaten Cleveland the same way they would do v Denver in this game. Cleveland against that Giant defense would’ve had to depend on Bernie Kosar who was 23 at the time. And no Earnest Byner in the playoffs that would’ve been a detriment right there and you have Dickey and Fontenot as your Running game v a Giants D that allowed 69 yards total on the Ground in the NFC playoffs going in. Now, yes Cleveland did beat the Giants in the Meadowlands the year before, but in the Super Bowl, you give Parcells and Belichick two weeks to prepare and I think it would have been too much Giants, especially in the 2nd half and still would win going away.
Last two scores were cut? Shame this turned into such a route after Denver played well in the first half Kind of wish they had made the FG and the Mobley TD (dropped) at the end of the 2nd. Would have given them a 20-9 lead and the Giants still would have done that 2nd half... so 39-30 would have been an epic score
Pat Summerall & John Madden. The 2 BEST announcers to ever call a football game. Madden would draw out (chalk board style) on the screen of the plays & explain what exactly happened & why. #legendsofthefall

Yup it’s literally the Patriots’ fault
9:27 - Just the National Anthem by Niel Diamond.. that was it for the pregame ceremony.. a few minutes and it's over.

Actually I think it was another coach that gave Elway more impressive stats and no it wasn't Mike Shanahan although he was also among those who assisted him.
Like I said that's balderdash. Denver was quite competent and actually quite competitive without Elway. Elway maybe made the difference as far as getting there but a championship is rarely about an individual. He was always so disappointing in the Super Bowl. Honestly I thought he wouldn't win it.
Damn poor Denver football team. That safety could have been avoided and two missed kicks. Shoulduh woulduh could have be up 16-7 at halftime. Asking what if? Maybe a couple more kicks in the second half enough to hold on 23-? ~ Brian
Damn poor Denver football team. By the two hour 33 minute mark had they done the above at worst would be up by two with giants with the ball. No wonder Reeves was pissed! ~ Brian
Did yall notice that Neil Diamonds rendition of the National Anthem only took 1 minute?
That 1986 New York Giants defense was tough as nails and that's coming from a Redskins/Commanders fan.
Thanks
The best decade of NFL 80s niners, giants, bears, vs the 90s cowboys, broncos, Redskins 80s and 90s
Where's O.J. Anderson's touchdown and Denver's final score?
I forgot just how good Giants run defense was.
Forgot how much better the Super Bowl used to be in every aspect than it is now. Outdoors during the day, played on grass (usually). Halftime show was more tasteful and low key as well, rather than the glitzy commercialized garbage they showcase now.
48:44 Just going out on a limb here, but I think the Giants DC Bill Belicheck might have a future as a head coach. Just a hunch. (Comment pre-aged for your viewing pleasure)
Missing the Giants last TD
5:02... What's that I hear?!
THE GIANTS are the only franchise to win a SUPER BOWL in each of the last 4️⃣ decades.
6:14 The other Elvis was Elvis Presley!
I remember this suber bowl giants best the Denver 39 to 20
We need to have some sunlight Super Bowls. It’s great for pictures and those pictures make for magazines and lots of tangeble publications. The NFL doesn’t need to bow to technology or social media. They have an audience that Trumps those outlets
I think the one team that would’ve given the Giants the tougher matchup in Pasadena that year would’ve have been Cleveland. I say that because their secondary had two shutdown corners in Dixon and Minnefield.
That being said, I think, in the second half, adjustments would’ve been made and the Giants would have beaten Cleveland the same way they would do v Denver in this game.
Cleveland against that Giant defense would’ve had to depend on Bernie Kosar who was 23 at the time. And no Earnest Byner in the playoffs that would’ve been a detriment right there and you have Dickey and Fontenot as your Running game v a Giants D that allowed 69 yards total on the Ground in the NFC playoffs going in. Now, yes Cleveland did beat the Giants in the Meadowlands the year before, but in the Super Bowl, you give Parcells and Belichick two weeks to prepare and I think it would have been too much Giants, especially in the 2nd half and still would win going away.
Last two scores were cut?
Shame this turned into such a route after Denver played well in the first half
Kind of wish they had made the FG and the Mobley TD (dropped) at the end of the 2nd.
Would have given them a 20-9 lead and the Giants still would have done that 2nd half...
so 39-30 would have been an epic score
RIP Don Robertson
2:27:54 - Belichick! 34 at the time
