You know, it’s funny and fitting that, at the emergence of Eli Manning as a two-time Super Bowl MVP and champion after years of mockery, at the very moment he should be enjoying an extended, complimentary spotlight… all of New York suddenly turns around and goes, “OH, HEY, LOOK! AN UNDRAFTED POINT GUARD!”
You can’t spell “Jeremy Lin” without “Eli.”

Highly drafted QBs always take grief if they’re less than transcendent, but compared to Alex Smith or even Aaron Rodgers I think Eli was treated pretty well. JaMarcus Russel is out of the NFL! He’s not one of the top 90 QBs in America? Ok, maybe not.

as an outside observer, eli’s biggest strength is that none of that shit phases him… the pressure of NYC, the degree to which he receives accolades… it’s like he’s never fully conscious, which i mean as an ultimate compliment.

But it’s fitting, though, as Eli is not one for the spotlight. On the other hand - gotta love NYC sports media!
