I'm trying to put together this page in some chronological order, but there are recent books that should be mentioned. I went to a talk yesterday by sportswriter Jack Cavanaugh who has just published "Giants Among Men, How Robustelli, Huff, Gifford, and the Giants Made New York a Football Town and Changed the NFL." Mr. Cavanaugh gave a great talk and what I've read in the book is very interesting - not just about the Giants but about New York and about the other key teams of that era - it looks like a worthwhile read!

Funny you mention John Elway. Ernie Accorsi was the GM who drafted Elway (Colts)only to have the owner trade him (Denver)out from under him. Accorsi was on the other end of that deal this time. The trade of Eli and Rivers was illegal(*) but no one in the league,teams or otherwise called them on it. *teams cannot trade players already drafted until end of draft. Teams cannot tell another team who to take in the event of said trade. Both of these things occured that day. San Diego requested Philip Rivers. Don't have an answer on Tuck. I know surgery was an option but not only option. It was an old injury from college days that he reinjured when Flozell tripped him.
