One of the familiar sights of the Giants this season has been head coach Tom Coughlin and his bizarre skeleton face. Now that face is on its way to Canton.

“It was disgusting,” said a clearly shaken Michael Strahan. “One minute he was talking about how proud he was of us, and the next minute his face was on the floor. It was like that scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark where that dude loses his face.”

But this time that dude was not a #### sympathizing artifact collector, it was Tom Coughlin. Apparently Coughlin’s face, frozen in the frigid weather, began to crack along his jaw line during his post-game speech to his team. After placekicker Lawrence Tynes let out a girlish scream, the rest of the team began to notice and they watched in horror as the face melted to the floor.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said QB Eli Manning. “His face was on the floor, but his eyes were still looking around and his teeth were still moving. None of us knew what to do, but then one of our trainers jumped in and put the face in one of those big Gatorade tubs full of ice.”

According to Giants VP Jerry Reese, the face traveled back with the team to New York, where team doctors worked to try to revive Coughlin’s lifeless face. Their efforts proved unsuccessful, however, and in the end, Coughlin and the team decided to donate his frozen face to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

“We’re not sure what to do with it,” said Garrett Brown, one of the curators of the Hall. “It’s really a disturbing image and I’m not sure anyone needs to see it. We thought about putting some researchers in charge of studying the face, because I'm not sure it's entirely human. But right now, we’re storing it in the break room freezer.”

Coughlin said he is making plans to replace his face before the Super Bowl and has narrowed his choices down to a paper cut-out of John McCain or a Halloween mask of the Crypt Keeper from HBO’s “Tales from the Crypt.” Each would be a marked improvement from the face he wore before.
