I Dream in Blue

I DREAM IN BLUE is the uproarious and impassioned story of how one middle–aged fan ran away from his everyday life in order to join the ranks of his favorite team on earth: the New York Giants. Director spends the 2006–2007 season up close and personal with Big Blue, in the locker room and on the practice field, schmoozing with fan favorites like Tiki Barber, arguably the league's best running back, who announces mid–way through the season that this will be his last, and famed quarterback Eli Manning, who faces, among other challenges, the pressures imposed on him by his impressive pedigree.

But while the players are propped up by battalions of trainers, doctors, physical therapists, mental health professionals, nutritionists, film technicians, locker room attendants, media advisers and the best of coaches, Director guts it out with Big Blue all on his own –– without even the benefit of getting his ankles taped. Refusing to let anything get in his way –– not his fumble–prone television career, not the very same degenerative hip disease that forced the great Bo Jackson off the gridiron, not even planning his daughter's bat–mitzvah from the road –– he is there with the team from the first snap of summer camp to the final gun of the season. And like the players he adores, he's got only one end in mind: the Super Bowl.

Along the way, Director tells the story of how a family business, founded with only $500 by an Irish bookmaker in the gaudy Prohibition era of Red Grange, Jack Dempsey, Will Rogers, and Babe Ruth, has endured to become an essential component of New York City's heartbeat –– and also the heartbeat of Director, our tour–guide through this great athletic dynasty. Ultimately, I DREAM IN BLUE is the story of a desperate Hail Mary –– a die–hard fan's quest to have one last endzone celebration.

I Dream in Blue

Life, Death, and the New York Giants

Chapter One

Amazing Grace

The most important decision you're going to make here today is . . . if, for whatever reason, something terrible happens . . . who do you want to be your daughter's legal guardian?"

The lawyer, Newmark, sits opposite me with a blank lined yellow legal pad and a pen. He looks nothing like what I always imagined the guy putting my affairs in order ought to look like. That lawyer is gray at the temples, somber and distinguished. But Newmark has these little vegetative clumps in odd spots on his pale, scaly scalp; all the groomed gravitas of a vacant lot. Also, he has smallish hands. The capper: He keeps sucking back the saliva he overproduces when he talks.

But I didn't pick Newmark, my wife did. Petite and dark-haired, with a smile the wattage of a ballroom chandelier and a bite like a fer-de-lance, Jan has been trying to get me to sit down with Newmark for months. She's the one who says we need a will.

She wants to make sure our daughter's education is taken care of.
