Giants Among Men: How Robustelli, Huff, Gifford, and the Giants Made New York a Football Town and Changed the NFL,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From the mid1950s to the early 1960s, when basketballs Boston Celtics were piecing together a run for the ages, when Montreals Canadiens were in the midst of notching a recordsetting five streaight Stanley Cups, and when the New York Yankees were the onceandfuture kings of the diamond, one team boosted the NFL to national prominence as none other: the New York Giants.In Giants Among Men, Jack Cavanaugh, the acclaimed author of Tunney, transports us to the NFLs golden age to introduce the closeknit and diverse group that won the heart of a city, helped spread the gospel of pro football across the nation, and recast the NFL as a media colossus.Central to Cavanaughs narrative, and emblematic of the Giants bond with their followers, was a hardnosed future Hall of Fame defensive end named Andy Robustelli, who anchored a Giants defense unit so ferocious that they were the first team to inspire crowds to chant Deefense! But while Robustelli and the Giants were a hit on the gridiron, playing in six NFL Championship Games in eight seasons between 1956 and 1963, the most remarkable aspect of this team was perhaps its relationship with the fans, who were equally at east hobnobbing with Jackie Gleason and Frank Sinatra as they were rubbing elbows with workingclass rooters on the IRT en route to Sunday games in the Bronx. But the Giants of this era didnt merely affect the fans relationship to the game; they changed the game itself. The team launched the NFL careers of future headcoaching geniuses Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi, as well as those of future Hall of Famers including Frank Gifford, Sam Huff, Emlen Tunnell, Roosevelt Brown, and Y. A. Tittle, along with stars like Charlie Conerly, Rosey Grier, and Pat Summerall.Filled with historical and cultural insight and vivid portraits of largethanlife characters and indispensable everymen, Giants Among Men transcends nostalgia and sports trivia to faithfully depict a watershed era for both football and the American nation.
