Eli will do an AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit: Friday, 1:30

PaulBlakeTSU : 8/26/2014 3:46 pm
Just a heads up that on Friday, Eli will be doing an "Ask Me Anything" Q& A on Reddit at 1:30. A thread will be available at the below link at that time where you can create an account and submit questions (though you have to get them in early since he will likely get bombarded with questions).

Or, you could just wait till an hour or so after and read back his responses to questions submitted by others.

Poor timing.

would be worth checking out - hopefully he'll open up a little bit. He seems like a pretty cool guy behind the scenes, but he's so good at the vanilla interview that you rarely get to see it.
This has potential...

to be hilarious.
Interesting that the Giants' PR folks are cool with this.

Prince Amukamara did one a few weeks ago (test case?), and now Eli.

Granted, these are two of the most straight-laced guys on the team. I'm sure that's not an accident. They probably wouldn't look too kindly on players more likely to say something that would embarrass the franchise jumping into an arena like this.

Holy crap, I just learned to tweet with acronyms. Now's there is a new thing. I am so behind the times. Always thought that was some computer virus when Google would send me there for a topic. LOL, thanks.
Eli is a prankster...

and his brother is one of the more neurotic and overly intense personalities in sports. You know he had to have done something fucked up to Peyton when they were teenagers, or since.

AMAs were neat before they got whored out to pitch every bullshit project every has been is putting out there to keep the lights on. If they kept with the idea, ask interesting questions give interesting answers it would be one thing, but everyone knows the interesting stuff gets ignored and the softballs get canned responses, so they ask lame questions and the whole thing turns into a snoozer. Except for Canseco. That was like watching a bullfight where the bull wins.

Eli is hilarious, and I think we'll see more of that after his career is over. He seems like he'd be awesome to grab a beer with.

Hey Eli! Long term Giants fan here. Do you follow any of the other NYC area sports teams outside of football? Have you ever struck up a friendship with any other NYC sports icons?

RealEliManning:
I keep up with all the NYC sports teams. I've been to Yankees games, Mets games, Knicks games, Nets games, so I root for all the NYC teams... except maybe the Jets.

Oh, 'N Sync. For sure.



And that "for sure" is the only bit in the whole thread that Eli (or whoever is typing this out for him) put in boldface.

After you throw an interception do you want to punch the guy who caught it or do you mostly just feel sad?

Think about it. In 2007, he had his comments about Tiki. In 2011, his "yes, I'm elite" comments.

We need Eli to say something that will get everyone fired up. Then BOOM, Super Bowl.

(of course, we'll also need Eli to run for a touchdown)
