New York Giants

In 2004, the Giants fired head coach Jim Fassel after a 4-12 season and signed Tom Coughlin to the position. The film has been deemed "culturally significant" by the Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Ray Lewis was named MVP. Kesey himself also did not hide his dislike of the film, particularly the casting of Nicholson as McMurphy. In 2001, the Giants were defeated by the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV by the score of 34-7. However, some mental health advocates have criticized the film for having unrealistic portrayals of mental hospitals and mental illness. Ottis Anderson was named MVP. It ranked number 20 on the American Film Institute's list of 100 greatest American films, Nurse Ratched was ranked number 5 on the Institute's list of 50 Greatest Villains, and the film consistently ranks in the top 15 on the Internet Movie Database.

In 1991, the Giants defeated the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV 20-19 in one of the most dramatic Super Bowls ever played, which culminated in Scott Norwood's missed FG. The film was widely acclaimed and won Academy Awards for Best Actor for Jack Nicholson (who played McMurphy), Best Actress for Louise Fletcher (who played Nurse Ratched), Best Direction for Miloš Forman, as well as Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. In 1990, the Mara family sold a 50% interest in the team to Preston Robert Tisch. The film is much less introspective and focuses mostly on the conflict between McMurphy and Ratched. This Giants team began the recent football tradition of dousing the head coach with a cooler of ice cold water near the end of a victorious game that clinches some sort of championship. Bromden refers to the negative forces of the world collectively as the "Combine," the very force which tries to suppress people like McMurphy. Phil Simms was named MVP after completing 88% of his passes. The novel raises a number of interesting questions about the nature of the state and power structures and could be interpreted on a number of allegorical levels.

In 1987, the Giants defeated the Denver Broncos 39-20 in Super Bowl XXI. Kesey's novel is in the form of a first-person narrative by Chief Bromden, a Native American and one of McMurphy's fellow patients. The stadium is shared with the New York Jets. Eventually McMurphy is lobotomized after he explodes into a violent rage when one of Nurse Ratched's psychological power games results in the death of a patient. In 1976, the Giants moved to Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey from Yankee Stadium. All the time, however, the question is in the mind as to just how sane any of the players in this actually are. In 1958, the Giants played the Baltimore Colts for the NFL championship, in what came to be known as "The Greatest Game Ever Played". McMurphy becomes ensnared in a number of power-games with Nurse Ratched for the hearts and minds of the inmates.

At half time, coach Steve Owen provided the team with basketball shoes for better traction on the icy turf, and the game came to be known as the "Sneakers Game". McMurphy's ward in the mental institution is run by an unyielding tyrant, Nurse Ratched, who has cowed the patients—who are mostly there by choice—into dejected institutionalised submission. In 1934, the team defeated the Chicago Bears 30-13 at the Polo Grounds in icy nine degree temperatures. Randle Patrick McMurphy, a serial petty criminal who has been sentenced to a fairly short prison term, decides to have himself declared insane so he'll be transferred to a mental institution, where he expects to serve the rest of his time in (comparative) comfort and luxury. The Giants are one of the original teams of the NFL. The 1975 film version of the same name was directed by Miloš Forman. The Giants were created in 1925 by original owner Tim Mara. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a novel by Ken Kesey first published in 1962.
