At the start of the show, Michael said as he introduced the upcoming guest: "I don't know how I feel about this... I am happy, I guess! No, I love this man. Tom Coughlin was the Giant's coach for the Super Bowl 42 win and he's written a book about that incredible year. We are going to reminisce about that and we are going to find out why he fined me for not being early enough to a team meeting."

Later on in the show, the pair enjoyed a proper catch up, with Michael joking that he wasn't wanted by the time Tom won the second Super Bowl 46 as he was "an old man" by then.
Tom infamously fined players, including Michael, in his first year as the Giants head coach back in 2004.

While Michael and Tom initially had a rocky relationship, they grew to become incredibly close and had mutual respect for each other following the Super Bowl 42 win. In fact, when Michael was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014, he had a lot of praise for his former boss.
The star said: "I think it's no secret that Tom Coughlin and I did not see eye to eye when he came to New York, but we finally realized we both had the same goal, and that was to win. It wasn't about ego. I want to say he taught me so many things about responsibility, accountability, how to be a better teammate, even though I thought I was a good teammate, but how to be a man, about how to be five minutes early to a meeting when the meeting starts at 8.

"Just tell me 7:55; don't tell me it starts at 8:00. That one I still don't get. I ain't going to lie to you. But you made me a better man, Coach Coughlin.
