  Giant - The Road to the Super Bowl

  Wide receiver Plaxico Burress provides a flat-out-honest look at life on and off the field with football’s New York Giants and at the making of a champion. 
   
  Throughout the 2007 NFL season, Plaxico Burress battled near-crippling injuries, and despite rarely practicing, being heavily bandaged, and on serious painkillers, he led the New York Giants in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. He continued to play through pain in the playoffs, only to be further injured before Super Bowl XLII. Playing the arrogant Patriots—who were inviting the Giants to their victory party before the game was over—Plaxico concealed a significant injury that might have changed the outcome of the game if the Pats had known. 
   
  When he first joined the Giants, Plaxico expected to be the go-to guy for the young quarterback Eli Manning. What he didn’t expect was the media and fan scrutiny that was heaped on Manning as they battled to win games. What he also didn’t expect was the difficult relationship he had with head coach Tom Coughlin, who was a stickler for discipline and who would fine players for even the mildest offenses.  
   
  But there to make things a little easier were friends like the volatile Jeremy Shockey and the easygoing Amani Toomer, nearly polar opposites. And in 2007, Manning, with Plaxico’s advice and support, would rise above the scrutinizing media and come into his own, and Coach Coughlin would relax his grip somewhat and let the team breathe. The results were obvious. 
   
  It’s all here. The ups and downs, the trash-talking, the sweat and blood, and what it takes to be the best.

  In this era of big media franchises, sports branding has crossed platforms, so that the sport, its television broadcast, and its replication in an electronic game are packaged and promoted as part of the same fan experience. Editors Robert Alan Brookey and Thomas P. Oates trace this development back to the unexpected success of Atari's Pong in the 1970s, which provoked a flood of sport simulation games that have had an impact on every sector of the electronic game market. From golf to football, basketball to step aerobics, electronic sports games are as familiar in the American household as the televised sporting events they simulate. This book explores the points of convergence at which gaming and sports culture merge.
