  • New York Giants 2012 Season Recap 2012 New York Giants
    NEW YORK GIANTS 2012 SEASON RECAP The 2012 Giants finished 9-7 and in second place in the NFC East. It was the eighth consecutive season in which the Giants finished .500 or better, their longest such streak since they played 10 seasons in a row without a losing record from 1954-63. The Giants finished with a winning record for the third consecutive season, the first time they had done that since 1988-90 (when they were 10-6, 12-4, 13-3). Despite extending those streaks, they did not earn a postseason berth. The Giants lost control of their playoff destiny with back-to-back late-season defeats in Atlanta and Baltimore. They routed Philadelphia in their finale, but soon learned they were eliminated when Chicago beat Detroit. The Giants compiled numerous impressive statistics in 2012. They scored 429 points, the second-highest total in franchise history; the 1963 Giants scored 448. The 2012 season was the fifth in the 88-year history of the franchise in which the Giants scored more than 400 points. The Giants scored a franchise- record 278 points at home, shattering the old mark of 248, set in 2007. In their last three home games – victories over Green Bay, New Orleans and Philadelphia – the Giants scored 38, 52 and 42 points. The 2012 team allowed an NFL-low 20 sacks. The Giants were fourth in the NFL in both takeaways (35, four more than they had in 2011) and turnover differential (plus-14, a significant improvement over 2011’s plus-7). The plus-14 was the Giants’ best turnover differential since they were plus-25 in 1997.

  • The Ice Bowl: the Cold Truth About Football's Most Unforgettable Game
    SPORTS | FOOTBALL $16.95 GRUVER An insightful, bone-chilling replay of pro football’s greatest game. “ ” The Ice Bowl —Gordon Forbes, pro football editor, USA Today It was so cold... THE DAY OF THE ICE BOWL GAME WAS SO COLD, the referees’ whistles wouldn’t work; so cold, the reporters’ coffee froze in the press booth; so cold, fans built small fires in the concrete and metal stands; so cold, TV cables froze and photographers didn’t dare touch the metal of their equipment; so cold, the game was as much about survival as it was Most Unforgettable Game About Football’s The Cold Truth about skill and strategy. ON NEW YEAR’S EVE, 1967, the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers met for a classic NFL championship game, played on a frozen field in sub-zero weather. The “Ice Bowl” challenged every skill of these two great teams. Here’s the whole story, based on dozens of interviews with people who were there—on the field and off—told by author Ed Gruver with passion, suspense, wit, and accuracy. The Ice Bowl also details the history of two legendary coaches, Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi, and the philosophies that made them the fiercest of football rivals. Here, too, are the players’ stories of endurance, drive, and strategy. Gruver puts the reader on the field in a game that ended with a play that surprised even those who executed it. Includes diagrams, photos, game and season statistics, and complete Ice Bowl play-by-play Cheers for The Ice Bowl A hundred myths and misconceptions about the Ice Bowl have been answered.

  • The Texas Longhorn the First Long-Horned Cattle Came to North America Between the Sixteenth and Eighteenth Centuries During
    The Texas Longhorn The first long-horned cattle came to North America between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries during the Spanish explorations, expeditions and religious missions. When Anglo-American pioneers traveled west in the early nineteenth century, they brought domesticated English cattle with them. American Indians raided cattle from both the Spanish and Anglo-Americans and gradually developed their own hybrid strains of cattle. With many cattle escaping from the open ranges, Spanish, English and hybrid cattle interbred. By the 1830’s, thousands of wild cattle ranged from the Rio Grande to the Nueces River. Exposed to the elements and relentlessly hunted by American Indians and colonists, cattle adapted or perished. They were forced to survive in the blazing sun and freezing winter, through dust storms and swamps. They could subsist on a diet of weeds and brush and live for days without water. From their Spanish ancestors, they inherited large, sweeping horns with twists at the end that allowed them to ward off coyotes and wolves. Colonists called cattle of the brush “wild cattle,” “mustang cattle” or “Spanish cattle.” It was not until the end of the Civil War that some range men would refer to “Texas cattle” or “Texas Longhorns.” Early Texas cowboys rustled cattle from Mexican ranches and captured feral cattle from the brush country. They stocked Texas ranges with these animals or trailed them through the Louisiana swamps to markets in New Orleans. Although the animals varied in their degree of wildness, skilled raiders could drive them in herds. After two or three long days of running, then trotting, then walking, they could be managed almost like domestic cattle.
