Bill Parcells purchased Lombardi Trophies for the entire Super Bowl XXV team — but nobody knew

Players have raved about playing for legendary coach Bill Parcells for years. A recent interview provided another story about why players — to this day — love the man.

On the @True_Blue_NYG Instagram Live show, they guys interviewed former New York Giants receiver Stephen Baker. The conversation found its way to the individual player versions of the Lombardi Trophy the Giants’ players received after winning Super Bowl XXV.

License Plate Guy asked if the players had to purchase their Lombardi Trophies. As Baker recalls, the trophy was shipped to him months after the game and there was no cost to him.
