Week 4 Reading Post

Today I finished The GM by Tom Callahan for 3 hours and 35 minutes.

The second half of the book discusses some of the important cogs that made up the New York Giants including Amani Toomer, Jeff Feagles, and Rich Seubert. Tom also describes how Ernie Accorsi tried to have Jerry Reese selected as his replacement as he would be retiring at the end of the year. He also includes Reese's first draft as GM. The book finishes with Ernie telling the team before he retired that there was a championship in the room-this was the year before they won the Super Bowl, and then he recaps the Giants' Super Bowl win.

Chapter 18 describes a three game losing streak that the Giants went through including blowing a 21-point lead and losing to the Tennessee Titans. Archie Manning who had to deal with enough losing himself called his son with encouraging words, "Keep fighting". These are words that we all can take to heart. God gives us the strength is His Word to keep fighting, and that is something that we need to be reminded of every day.
