Football creates true bonds, true brotherhoods that last forever. Perhaps the sport’s greatest redeeming quality.
Football can also lead to lifelong health problems. To the mind and body.
“Once a Giant: A Story of Victory, Tragedy and Life After Football” captures this balance as well as any NFL book I’ve read. It was a pleasure chatting with the book’s author, the great Gary Myers, for this podcast episode.
The Bill Parcells, Mark Bavaro and Harry Carson stories are equal parts chilling and uplifting.

Be sure to purchase your copy of “Once a Giant” everywhere books are sold — here’s the Amazon link. You can follow Gary on X @GaryMyersNY.
Thanks, everyone.
I’ll aim to have more conversations with authors, too. The holidays are around the corner and nothing beats a good book as a gift. “Once a Giant” is a great place to start.
