    <body><![CDATA[I'm no Giants fan, but I did enjoy the book. It tends to meander at times, getting wrapped up in the backstory of every new character introduced. I think what takes away from the book most of all is the immense assault of names thrown at the reader. I am a huge sports fan and know plenty of history,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41298136">more...</a>]]></body>

Ernie Accorsi is a true lover of football and all sports, and I did appreciate the candor of the book and his willingness to speak on the record about his own players and those he was happy to leave behind in the draft, etc.]]></body>
