Phil Simms shows the intensity of the New York Giants' rivalry with the Dallas Cowboys by pointing to a scar on his chin. Unlike this weekend's National Football League matchup, it wasn't even a playoff game in 1980 when Cowboys Hall of Fame lineman Randy White slammed the Giants' quarterback to the ground so hard it opened a cut that required 15 stitches.
``As I hit the ground, I went, `Oh my gosh,'' Simms, the Most Valuable Player of the 1987 Super Bowl, said in an interview. ``I reached out and held my chin and there was blood everywhere. I mean everywhere. And I'm groaning, because it hurt. And Randy White says, basically, `Shut up, you big baby. Quit crying and just play.'''
