Press Releases

The 1990 New York Giants were part of one of the most memorable Super Bowls in NFL history. Their remarkable efforts on the football field translated into a huge upset and the players were forever etched in the history books. But what happened after their careers were over?

When the Cheering Stops: Bill Parcells, the 1990 New York Giants, and the Price of Greatness by William Bendetson and former All-Pro Giants defensive lineman Leonard Marshall (Foreword by Bill Parcells) relives the Giants’ historic season but also goes off the field and behind the scenes to examine the compelling stories of what became of these football heroes after their playing days. 

From basking in the glory and admiration of thousands of people to struggling socially and professionally, When the Cheering Stops provides readers with a whole new perspective on the ups and downs associated with being a part of the 1990 New York Giants including:

  • Exhilarating underdog wins like the 1990 Super Bowl victory
  • The physical affects of playing football and inadequate medical benefits
  • Remarkable dominance and hearts of champions who did not break under pressure
  • The shock of the real world and adjustment to life beyond the NFL
The 1990 team felt invincible, but all good things must come to an end and they did. However, fans will relive their favorite memories and get a glimpse of what some of their favorite players from the past are doing. Giants fans will not want to be without this book this football season.
