Frank Gifford's autobiography is a fairly interesting book that isn't dry like so many sports biographies are. I found it to be a pretty good read and learned quite a bit I hadn't known before about The Giff.

Gifford covers his tough nomadic childhood, his rise to fame at USC, his years as a New York Giant playing in five NFL title games, his experience trying to break into the Hollywood scene, his eventual transition into broadcasting, and of course the Monday Night Football years. He also spends a lot of time at the end of the book gushing over Kathie Lee. Unfortunately this was written prior to his infamous indiscretions of the mid-1990s; it would be interesting to read his side of that story.... oh well.

Overall I'd say "The Whole Ten Yards" is an above average sports biography. If you were a fan of MNF's first quarter-decade or of the old Giants of the 1950s & early 1960s, you will probably enjoy this book.

New York Giants: 75 Years.....just ok. First, there are several typos and incorrect facts. Example: incorrect year when Jim Fassel won the NFC East. Also, there were many great Giants such as Spider Lockhart, Joe Morrison, Homer Jones, Bob Tucker, Eddie Price, Ron Johnson, Brad Van Pelt, Dave Jennings, Sean Landeta, etc. who garned little or no mention. Although the period of 1965-1979 was a bleak one for our beloved Giants, it still was a time that was very much a part of the great history of this team.
The photography is good, especially of Gifford, Huff, Title and the like.

All in all...not bad. But it could have been better.

If your a GIANTS fan, this book is unbelievable. The text is a bit trite, very rah-rah. But the pictures are GREAT. They are all high quality, and a great mix of famous pictures (YA Tiddle), and not so famous pictures (Gary Reasons stopping a goal line run). A great gift for a blue-bleeder!

Here you have one of the most beautyful and complete football book I ever read.The kind of book you open at the first page and close at the last one.If you can only buy one football book, that the one you need.You gonna read some parts of NFL story inside the story of the Giants.For sure one of this parts is the 1958 championship game,maybe the greatest game ever play,some pics of the old balls and uniforms.Talking about pics,I give them 100% for the illustrate part of the book,the pics are incredible. For the Giants story now,you learn all you need from the years at Polo ground to the ones at Giants stadium.A look at the greatest players of the team like Frank Gifford,Y.A.tittle,Phil Simms and for sure L.T.The book can`t be complete without the Bill Parcell and Mara family chapters.You`re football library is not complete until you`ve got"NEW YORK GIANTS SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS".The only thing I can say to conclude my review is buy it before he go out of print,that gonna be a collection book.
