Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Going into the family business isn’t always the easiest path to choose, particularly when your older brother seemingly has a lock on it. Not one to be sidelined by competition, Eli Manning emerged from the shadows of his famous father and star quarterback brother to stake his own claim in professional football. Three years after being the number one draft pick, Manning led the New York Football Giants to one of the most celebrated upsets in Super Bowl history, when they dethroned and defeated the previously perfect New England Patriots. He was named MVP of Super Bowl XLII, and he’s far from finished – nor are his critics. MEET THE AUTHOR Duet Write is the collaboration of two like minds — and distinct personalities. Friends for more than 30 years, Susan Frasca and Josephine Scanlon have long shared a passion for writing, something they quickly discovered when they met in a college English class. Pursuing their careers individually led to becoming writers and editors for a magazine and a major publisher. Separated by miles, they remained connected by common interests, including their professions, music, their NY sports teams and above all, their dedication to their families. United in spirit, they decided to pursue their dream and took the leap to unite in business. The perfect team; one edits what the other writes; where one leaves off, the other picks up — even they wonder who wrote what! From fiction to nonfiction, articles and blogs to memoirs and autobiographies, as a team, they write as one, to get the words just right. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Throughout the years following his first Super Bowl win, Eli Manning has known praise and glory; he’s heard it all, from rallying cries to angry shouts demanding that he be fired. In an August 2011 interview with New York radio host and sports announcer Michael Kay on ESPN New York Radio, Eli responded affirmatively when asked if he considered himself an elite quarterback. He was maligned by the media and fans for putting himself in that category, but the calm, cool and composed quarterback proved that he is true to his word. In 2011-12, the seven-year veteran had the best season of his NFL career, leading his Big Blue Wrecking Crew to the biggest of all sporting events for the second time in four years. The fact that the game is a rematch between the Giants and Patriots adds even more drama to the stage, though Eli downplays the comparisons. Being the youngest Manning, he’s definitely good at that.

Download or read book Eli Manning written by Ralph Vacchiano and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Eli Manning found teammate Plaxico Burress in the end zone with just 35 seconds remaining in Super Bowl XLII, he completed what was perhaps the greatest game-winning drive and unlikely upset in Super Bowl history. But the drive, which also included a remarkable escape and pass completion to unheralded receiver David Tyree, was the culmination of years of promise and development. Champion quarterbacks aren't made overnight. With Manning, the Super Bowl MVP, as its focal point, New York Daily News Giants beat writer Ralph Vacchiano's Eli Manning: The Making of a Quarterback is a fascinating insider's look at the National Football League, how stars are made and crushed, and how fortunes are won and lost on the performance of one man: the quarterback. From the bold draft day trade that brought Manning to New York, through his dramatic ups and downs on and off the field, his first training camp to his last-minute heroics in Super Bowl XLII, Vacchiano takes a candid and revealing look at the people and events that made Manning's and his 2007 Giants' success one of the greatest stories in modern sports history. Complete with exclusive interviews with NFL stars, coaches, and executives and a foreword by former Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi, Vacchiano uses his unfettered access to the world champion Giants to present a true, behind-the scenes look at the quarterback and team that defied all of the experts and oddsmakers to pull off one of the most phenomenal upsets in pro football history.
