Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"It was a bunch of guys that just wanted to know when and where. If you told that team the game was at midnight on the Brooklyn Bridge against the Jersey City Destroyers, those guys would show up and play hard." --Phil McConkey on the 1986 Giants
"Fran Tarkenton was one of the best leaders I've ever played with in my lifetime. He was a magician." --Ron Johnson
"It's going to stay with me for a while. Obviously, I'm in a low state. This is the biggest game of my career and I didn't play well at all." --Kerry Collins, after Super Bowl XXXV
From the Inside Flap
The New York Giants were born in 1925, back when the only football America cared about was played Saturdays on college campuses across the country. Since then, the NFL has become the nation's most popular league, and the Giants have become one of its most storied members. Along the way, legends like Gifford, Parcells, Simms, and L.T. have graced the New York sideline, witnessing the ups and downs of the team known as Big Blue. Now every Giants fan can get the cold, hard truth behind all the major players, coaches, and events in team history.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: New York Giants leaves no stone unturned in chronicling the highs and lows of the G-Men. Go inside the boisterous locker room of the 1987 and 1991 Super Bowl champions, then ask, "what might have been?" with the somber losers of Super Bowl XXXV. Follow Lawrence Taylor as he develops into one of the greatest defensive players of all time, then spirals downward in a haze of illegal drugs. Get the inside story behind the Sneakers Game, Jeff Hostetler's Super Bowl run, L.T.'s career-ending hit on Joe Theismann, Tiki Barber's retirement, and everything in between.
In an entertaining and unsparing fashion, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: New York Giants recounts the best and worst Giants teams and players of all time, the clutch performances and biggest choke jobs, and all the fights, rivalries, and off-the-field antics that happened along the way. If you're a through-thick-and-thin Giants fan, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: New York Giants is your ultimate guide to the ugly truth!

Best Giants Book Ever,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly New York Giants: Heart-pounding, Jaw-dropping, and Gut-wrenching Moments from New York Giants History (The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly) (Hardcover)
This is a funny warts-and-all history of the Giants from the old days of the Polo Grounds right up to the struggles of Eli. The chapter about Lawrence Taylor and Joe Theissmann alone makes the book worth the cover price. Great for fans of Big Blue and the NFL alike. Highly recommended.

The Bad and the Ugly,
This review is from: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly New York Giants: Heart-pounding, Jaw-dropping, and Gut-wrenching Moments from New York Giants History (The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly) (Hardcover)
The writing ability of the author is high school level. The book also looks like it was printed on a mimeograph if anyone remembers them. Low quality - don't buy.
