'Once a Giant': Gary Myers tells 1986 Super Bowl stories, says Jets should call Tom Brady

Ep. 58 of Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard, the New York Daily News' NFL columnist and Giants beat writer. Pat sits down 1-on-1 with Gary Myers, the New York Times bestseller and longtime NFL columnist, to talk about his new book, 'Once a Giant: A Story of Victory, Tragedy and Life After Football.' Myers reviews a cataclysmic weekend in New York football, from the Giants' 40-0 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys to the Jets' season-ending Aaron Rodgers injury. Myers thinks the Jets should call Tom Brady's agent and ask if he will come out of retirement to join Robert Saleh's team. Myers then dives into his incredible book about the 1986 Super Bowl XXI champion Giants, whose stories are both heartwarming and heartbreaking. From Phil Simms to Harry Carson and Bill Parcells, to Mark Bavaro and Bill Belichick and Bobby Johnson and Phil McConkey, Myers' book takes into a team that maintains a tremendous bond to this day through all of the highs and lows. Visit Bookends in Ridgewood, N.J., at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 14 for a book-signing with Myers and Simms. Watch the full video of this podcast on Pat's YouTube Channel.
