Customer Reviews

Excellent account of the life of a GM

I recommend this book to any NFL fan, especially those familiar with the NY Giants. This book is more than just about the Giants though it's a detailed, entertaining account of what it's like to be a GM in the NFL. The good, the bad and the ugly are all accounted for! A fascinating story.I couldn't put this book down.

MUST READ FOR SPORTS FANS

This book is a must read. Any sports fan will love all the little stories and how being a GM is a 24/7 job. If you are a sports fan or know a sports fan get this book. I can't stand the Giants but could not put this book down. Go out and buy it.

A Great read for any Giants Fan

The book was published before the Super Bowl run and is prophetic. If you like to know what is going on in the background of a GM this is a good book. Only faults, it could have named a few names and identified more faults of bad decisions of Ernie's and others

For Every Lover of Football

Quite simply, it is my favorite non-fiction book of the past decade and the best sports book I've ever read. Poignant stories from Johnny Unitas to Eli Manning to Jerry Reese. The GM is a journey through the NFL from the glory years of the old Baltimore Colts through 2006. A wonderful read that is impossible to put down.
