The NFL will miss Accorsi [Posted on 2008-03-11]
Ernie Accorsi, the "GM" of the New York Giants, was a link to the NFL's great past of Pete Rozelle, Wellington Mara, John Unitas and Jim Finks. In those days, the phrase "for the good of the game" was a frequent motivation for doing the right thing for the players, fans and that elite fraternity who invested their money to make it America's favorite sport. The way Accorsi approached his job and treated those around him reflects that spirit, which was accurately portrayed by Tom Callahan. Men like Accorsi are disappearing from professional sports, and we are all worse off for it. If you love the game, you'll love "GM."
Best Football Book You Will Read This (or any) Year [Posted on 2008-03-13]
As a Detroit Lion fan (NFL,not to be confused with the fantasy football team with the same name), this book should be required reading for William Clay Ford and Matt Millen. It is the story of Ernie Accorsi's last year as General Manager of the New York Giants. He is the chief architect of this year's Super Ball champions. The author provides an insider's picture of how great team are created and maintained when superior ownership,leadership and organizational skills are used to field a winning team.
Accorsi is really a man who understands and values all sports combined with a sense of history and love of live. He learned his lessons on the playfields of Hershey Pennsylvania and from such personalitis as Paterno,Unitas,and Rozelle.
Accorsi is truly a man for all seasons. He is very much like Machiavelli with a heart, who finds greatness where others are blind to it.
A must for football fans [Posted on 2008-05-09]
The GM is a tad slow in the beginning, but really picks up the pace after a couple of chapters. It's a great behind the scenes look into the Giants, and really any NFL team. Every football fan, and Giant fans in particular, owe it to themselve to read this book.
