It has been 10 years, but a conversation about the 2008 New York Giants still gets former All-Pro guard Chris Snee irritated. The memories of how it all unfolded -- culminating with the NFC’s top seed losing to the rival Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round of the playoffs -- remains too raw.
It might always be that way. Snee doesn’t talk about it with his father-in-law -- former Giants coach Tom Coughlin -- because he believes they are both too competitive. It would be the equivalent of ripping a Band-Aid off a still-raw blister.
