It is 1976. An Italian American Film School graduate with visions of being the next Stanley Kubrick, instead finds himself on the very inside of the New York Football Giants. This autobiography is an irreverent look, through the eyes of a filmmaker, at the people who control what you see on the football field. This unprecedented look inside the Giants’ management and coaches is intertwined with the author flashing back to his childhood in an Italian American family and his coming of age on road trips to the NFL’s glamour cities. The stories range from comedic to back stabbings to tragic. It’s all true. The stories will have you laughing out loud, as well as being flabbergasted at the drama involved in the front office politics.
The story begins with a phone call that leads to a full time position as the Film Director for the New York Football Giants. Tony accepts the position for the time being, never expecting it to become a career. All along the way, Tony keeps thinking that the scenes and characters he is experiencing in his position in the NFL would one day make a great movie. This book is a compilation of those scenes.
