Why was Phil one of my favorites? Was it the mullet? The mustache? The fact that he was a Parcells Guy who was perfect for the Giants and was essentially invisible with three other teams? Well, when you’re five or six years old, it doesn’t take much to win you over, but the sheer enthusiasm and unbridled emotion can go a long way.
