a non-giants fan viewpoint

When Peter King talked about this book on MMQB, i had to pick it up, despite being a die hard Cowboys fan. Overall I found the book to be insightful into a season that I was very familiar with (besides being an NFC East rival I also now reside in NJ). Unfortunately, the main reason I picked this up was to see the nuts and bolts of being an NFL GM and I don't think this quite has it.

While you do get excellent stories on some of the bigger players (Plax, Shockey, Eli, Strahan) and coaches (Coughlin, Shottenheimer) in the game today, you don't quite get the feeling that you know what it would be like to run a team on a day2day basis.

Once you get past that, the book is thoroughly enjoyable, especially considering it chronicles a lot of Accorsi's life (which travels from Penn St to the Baltimore Colts, Clelevand Browns and NY Giants) and so many good tidbits from a tumultous 2006 NFL season.

A must read if your a big football fan, just make sure you understand the title is a bit misleading and should be more like, "Ernie Accorsi: Chronicles of a GM's life and his last season with the Giants"

An interesting read

I thoughly enjoyed the book. I agree with some of the other reviews that the book jumped around a bit and didn't really go into details on the job itself, but I loved the insights it did give. As a die-hard Giants fan, I enjoyed following the season from Accorsi's point of view. Personally, I came away from the book with a much greater respect for Accorsi and an even greater disdain for Coughlin!

Being an avid Giant football fan for over 50 years, this was the best source of information on their football team. This provided me with insight not avalable elsewhere.

A Little Misleading

By no means is this a bad book. It's actually a very well written book, however the title is misleading. This is not a book about the inner working of a general manger, but rather a recap of the '06 Giants season and some stories about the life of Ernie Accorsi. A must read for Giants fans as it gives some nice insight about many of the Giants higher profile players. NFL fans just looking for a good book about football should just wait for the paperback and enjoy the short and easy read. People looking for a book about the inner workings of a general manger, need not apply.
