Simms and McConkey stunned millions of spectators when they led the Giants to victory in Super Bowl XXI. Now the odd couple of the Giants tell the amazing story of their outrageous fall--and rise--to Dick Schaap, author of Instant Replay. 16 pages of black-and-white photographs.
I liked this book. It tells the story of 2 men who took different routes there, but helped a team win a Super Bowl. No offense to Mr. Simms, but the part I really enjoyed was Mr. McConkey's story. Graduated from the US Naval Academy, served in the US Navy, and only after eyesight problems prevented him from remaining an aviator he tried out to play Pro Football. He was considered too old and too slow, yet still had 2 receptions for 50 yards in a Super Bowl. And according to Bill Parcells could "catch punts in a rock slide". It's a great story for a sports fan.
