The 1986 New York Giants are legendary. A championship team coached by Bill Parcells and his wunderkind assistant Bill Belichick, featuring future Hall of Famers and All-Pros like Phil Simms, Lawrence Taylor, Mark Bavaro, and Harry Carson. They were dominant onthe field and formed a unique and lasting bond off of it. More than thirty years later, it's the friendships that have proved more important--a matter of life and death. In Once a Giant, bestselling football writer Gary Myers tells the story of that teamand what became of it. Gridiron glory eventually faded; chronic pain, addiction, and in some cases crimes have followed. Many football players face these harsh realities, but the Giants have confronted and survived them together. With unprecedented access, Myers dives into such issues as Mark Bavaro's battle with injuries, the breakup and reconciliation of Parcells and Belichick, and Lawrence Taylor's struggles with sobriety. He creates a never-before-seen portrait of the team's run to the title, and their even more challenging fight to live after it ended"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a New York Giants (Football team) $x History. 611 20 $a Super Bowl $n (21st : $d 1987 : $c Pasadena, Calif.) 650 0 $a Football players $z United States $x Conduct of life. 650 0 $a Football players $z United States $x Retirement. 650 0 $a Football injuries. 650 0 $a Football players $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Football coaches $z United States $v Biography. 941 $a 3 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012925.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012224.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231102013625.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9615A130495811EE9228709642ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
