[Timothy Sullivan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Kind of a generic read - mostly just a recap of Super Bowl XXV and the Giants’ 1990 season. A few nice side stories here and there, but the narrative is nonlinear and meanders often.

If you’re an NFL fan - especially a Giants fan - then you won’t really learn anything new.

Good look inside the great 1990 NY Giants. For some reason this team has always fascinated me. Great insight on Parcells, Belichick and some of the stars on the Giants like LT, Leonard Marshall, Everson Walls and others. The game planning around the Bills game is good. A nice quick read. The material on post-career issues is pretty good but is a bit disjointed at times.

A must for Giants Fans. Maybe the only Football we get this year.
