He is an honors graduate of the University of Albany and has also worked as a sportswriter for Albany's Times-Union and Middletown's Herald Record, covering the Jets, Yankees, and Knicks. Schwartz lives on the North Shore with his wife and two children.
In Tales from the New York Giants Sideline, memories, anecdotes, names, faces, games, cheers and tears come rushing back, along with new twists to old fables and old remembrances revitalized with fresh insight. There have been so many great players and so many great tales and a coach for every season and a story for every coach. Schwartz details the motivational genius of Bill Parcells, the highs and lows under Allie Sherman, the misery under Bill Arnsparger and John McVay, the gregarious Alex Webster, the homespun Dan Reeves, Jim Fassel making friends, and Ray Handley making a mess. Only the Giants could have spawned the careers of not one, but two Hall of Fame coaches - Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry. All of the stories are featured in this book, with reminiscences bursting back to life in the words of the men in the game. Fans will read stories about the blood and sweat of training camp, the highs of the Super Bowl, the lows of last place, the good, the bad and the ugly, the fearsome opponents, the feared defense, the quarterbacks who could and the ones who could not, the pride of the Mara family, and the wit and wisdom of General Manager George Young.
