Reviews
"It's a terrific narrative of the ebb and flow of a football season through the eyes of a general manager, Ernie Accorsi of the Giants. Accorsi, in his final season before retiring, gave Callahan access to everything he saw with the Giants last year, including the raw emotion that flowed from GM to coach. In so doing, Accorsi illustrated the real tension that exists in front offices, the kind you so rarely read about In the mainstream press. So don't think this is just a Giants book. It's not. It's an NFL book, and a book that helps you understand some of the complex relationships that define the game today." -Peter King,Sports Illustrated "A vivid, focused account of a New York Giants season filled with hope but ultimately tainted by disappointmentâ€¦Callahan alsopaints a wonderful portrait of Giantsgeneral manager Ernie Accorsi, [filling] the book withwit, wisdom and great stories." -Miami Herald "Callahan's book about the last year of Ernie Accorsi's reign as general managergives unusual insight into how a football organization is run." -Chicago Tribune "A fascinating look at an NFL season by a true insider. Great tidbits abound." -Dallas Morning News "The most interesting and topical [of the recently published Giants books] by far. The author was given extensive behind the scenes access and emerges with many juicy tidbitsâ€¦Callahan deftly handles a poignant chapter on trainer Ronnie Barnes' role in Wellington Mara's final days." -Newsday "Many surprising revelationsâ€¦shocking." -New York Daily News "The G.M.is perhaps the best book ever written about a pro football executiveâ€¦Accorsi is a terrific subject." -Allen Barra,Washington Post Book World "THE GM is one of the great sports books to come along in recent years,and that's not just a tribute to Tom Callahan, who wrote it, but also to Ernie Accorsi, the book's subject. It says a lot about someone when they have the confidence and self-esteem to open their lives that completely for published consumption. Good for Ernie. Better for us." -Mike Vaccaro,New York Post "A compelling chronicleof Accorsi's career written adroitly by Tom Callahan, who was allowed to be a fly on the wall of the Giants' inner sanctums during their tempestuous 2006 season." -Dave Anderson,The New York Times

Good buy, great read
The product was very good reading material that provided in depth stories. Many stories about Johnny Unitas as the author also wrote the book "Johnny U". I would recommend this book to all professional football fans, especially those looking to read about inside stories and how the general manager office works. Good to read how it takes many steps to finally reach the pinnacle of the pro football business aspect in becoming a general manager. If only they had a book like this one to go with all the National Football League teams to learn how each of them operate when it comes to the war room and evaluating players. Tom Callahan is one of the great authors of sports books.

The GM
Great insight to the inner workings of the NY Giants during Ernie Accorsi reign. Learned much about his background and his perception of building a NFL team.
