Good Luck, Amani
Just read that Amani Toomer signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. As a Giants fan, I wanted to wish him the best of luck for the upcoming year (except, of course, when they play the Giants.) He is the all-time leading wide receiver in Giants history and over the last 13 seasons has made some memorable plays for them.
Personally, I will never forget the touchdown catch he made against the undefeated Denver Broncos in 1998. When the Broncos played the Giants in 2005, he once again caught the game-winning score with .05 seconds left, capping off a terrific final drive. I also loved the performance against the Cowboys in the divisional playoffs two seasons ago with two big first-half touchdowns. Most recently, his fourth-down catch against the eventual Super Bowl champion Steelers last season in the final quarter of the game in Pittsburgh stands out to me.
Amani was a gentleman off the field and never gave me a hard time when asking for an interview or a quick sound bite no matter what the mood was after a win or a loss. He was a quiet presence (especially for an NFL wide receiver) amongst some very big personalities like Michael Strahan, Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey. And let’s not forget the manner in which he acted when Plaxico Burress signed with the Giants, supplanting him as the No. 1 receiver. Amani was a pleasure to work with for my six seasons with the Giants and I was so happy for him when he was able to win a Super Bowl ring.
If you have any Amani Toomer memories that stand out, please let us know.

What I remember about Amani is consistency. He always seemed to have catches and at least 50 yards. Frankly, given the fact that I don’t know who the WR corp is this year, I think Giants fans are going to regret that he wasn’t resigned.
Good luck, Amani. It was a pleasure watching you play and even more watching how you carried yourself.
Thanks for your comment lisakaz, and I agree that with the loss of Plaxico it would have been nice to have Amani’s veteran presence in the locker room, but I think the Giants want to go with younger and faster players at the wide reciever postion this season.
Are you the Joey Callo from MY Cousin Vinnie fame?
I remember in 2002 when Kerry Collins and the Giants were 6-6, but completely caught fire winning the last 4 games. Amani really came into his own that yr and I remember him catching a flea-flicker bomb vs the Colts…also who can forget Toomer ruining the perfect Broncos season in 98.
