Moss is a hired gun brought in by the Empire to ruthlessly eliminate its enemies, leaving destruction in his wake in the form of broken touchdown records. Coach Tom Coughlin leads the Rebellion, otherwise known as the upstart Giants. Coughlin plays the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi, a seemingly crazy old man who makes a sacrifice (Kenobi’s life, Coughlin’s archaic style of authoritarian coaching) for the good of his cause. Eli Manning...
