Coach Coughlin shares thoughts on Yogi Berra

Tom Coughlin on Yogi Berra

“We paid tribute to Yogi this morning in our team meeting. We recognized him. I’ve had an opportunity to meet and be in Yogi’s company. Yogi was a very, very nice man, nice to meet, always gracious. I always look at him as a terrific representative of those great Yankee years. I asked Eli (Manning) about him, too, and Eli said he was a very nice man.

“But to imagine the player that he was. I remember him as a kid, obviously. Can you imagine what he accomplished - three MVP’s, 10 world championships.
