The GM: A Football Life, a Final Season, and a Last Laugh ~ Paperback ~ Tom Callahan

A LOOK AT THE NFL'S TOUGHEST JOB, A MAN WHO MASTERED IT, AND THE ART OF WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS With a New Chapter on the Giants' Super Bowl Triumph "The GM" is a chronicle of the NFL spanning the last three and a half decades, told through the eyes of legendary general manager Ernie Accorsi, a man who has dedicated his life to football--and whose unshakable faith in controversial quarterback Eli Manning was vindicated in the Giants' dramatic come-from-behind victory in the 2008 Super Bowl. Filled with vivid anecdotes and storytelling that show how the pro game (and the league that showcases it) really works, "The GM" doesn't just illuminate, it inspires with its portrait of a consummate football-personnel strategist who, over the course of decades, gave everything to the game he loved.Author BiographyTOM CALLAHAN, a former senior writer at "Time" magazine and sports columnist at the "Washington Post," is the author of "Johnny U, In Search of Tiger, " and "The Bases Were Loaded (and So Was I)."
