NOW Where Do You Rank Eli Manning?

NOW Where Do You Rank Eli Manning?

Following the New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI victory last night, running back Brandon Jacobs called Eli Manning “the best quarterback in the National Football League.” This time a year ago, that statement would have laughable. Manning attempted to cheer up Giants fans, and perhaps himself, when he said this summer he was in in Tom Brady’s class. After throwing 25 interceptions and not doing enough to take his team to the playoffs in 2010, the idea of Eli as one of the game’s premier passers seemed ridiculous. Making matters worse, Manning struggled in Week 1, overthrowing balls to his receivers in the Giants’ 28-14 loss to the Redskins.

Giants Win Super Bowl XLVI Over Patriots 21-17

Giants Win Super Bowl XLVI Over Patriots 21-17

If there were any more questions as to whether Eli Manning was an elite quarterback, he answered them last night. The now-two-time Super Bowl MVP led yet another 4th quarter comeback and Tom Brady's last second desperate heave fell incomplete as the New York Giants finished a remarkable run with a 21-17 win in Super Bowl XLVI. Manning finished 30 for 40 for 296 yards and a touchdown pass in winning the game's most valuable player award. He also led the Giants to their 8th game winning drive of the season.

2011 New York Giants – Super Bowl Champs

February 5, 2012

Just as we all predicted back in August... the New York Giants are your Super Bowl Champions of everything! What makes this Giants season remarkable... beyond them bringing home the most coveted of prizes... is the number of times, in the minds of fans, pundits, haters, etc., they hit the mat and weren't expected to get up... only to rise like Rocky Balboa and overcome. This team, truly, is at its best when their backs are against the wall. They're a team New York City citizens, whether they are supports of Big Blue or Gang Green, should be proud of. After all, they are the New York Giants. And their first name is "New York."

Let’s Stop This Myth About The Giants “Not Talking”

February 3, 2012

Rex Ryan and the Jets take a lot of crap because of how much they run their collective mouths. Well guess what; the Giants are just as guilty, if not more so, and Super Bowl week gave a plethora of examples.

Tis The Season… Hall of Fame Season

Tis The Season… Hall of Fame Season

Earlier this month, the 2012 National Baseball Hall of Fame class was announced, and on Saturday, we will learn the newest members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. This time of year always draws a crowd of voices debating not only who belongs in the halls of fame and who does not, but also what the standards for induction should be—what it means (or should mean) for someone to be a hall of famer. Since the only opinions that end up counting are those of actual voters, what everyone else is really debating are the standards of their own personal halls of fame.

Without Wellington Mara, Coughlin Wouldn’t Be Here (And Neither Would The Giants)

Without Wellington Mara, Coughlin Wouldn’t Be Here (And Neither Would The Giants)

Much has been made of when the late Wellington Mara supported then-Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi in making a draft-day trade to get Eli Manning in 2004. Another less-talked-about move that Mara should be credited for is hiring Tom Coughlin as the Giants coach in the first place. He was the only one that took a chance on him. Not even Accorsi wanted to hire the football lifer. Needless to say, it has paid off well for Mara’s franchise. In in his retirement speech, and his Hall of Fame speech, Coughlin should give thanks to the Giants patriarch who saved his career.

Jets Fans Rooting For The Patriots?? For Shame!

Jets Fans Rooting For The Patriots?? For Shame!

This is surprising. That’s the best way to put it when hearing and reading about good New York Jets fans rooting for the hated New England Patriots in this year’s Super Bowl. Let’s also say this is embarrassing for Jets fans. To root for any rival is ridiculous, especially when it’s Bill Belicheat and the Patri-rats, is unacceptable. This Super Bowl match-up offers a no-win situation for this tortured fanbase, just as it did during the 2007 season. No matter who wins, Jets fans will lose. It will be tough watching the game knowing one of these teams will end the night as Champions.
