Anyone hear Eli in the Post Game Interview?

BigBlueDownTheShore : 9/26/2014 10:54 am
He is was absolutely hilarious. He was like rambling on about how they wanted to play fast and he was speaking fast, and everyone on the panel was flabbergasted. It was pretty funny if you saw it.
Anyone have a link to it?  
Giants Fan in Steelers Land : 9/26/2014 10:57 am : link
I'd love to watch it

Eli is a surprisingly funny guy

Funny how?
I liked the "you can't coach speed" line.  
Don in DC : 9/26/2014 11:02 am : link
The whole panel cracked up. They weren't expecting him to be funny in a self-deprecating manner.
Anyone have a link?

Listen to Donnell's post game interview
It was great when Eli said  
teso56 : 9/26/2014 11:06 am : link
Thanks for not picking us we like it that way (paraphrasing).

This game was similar to the Thursday night game in Charlotte two years ago - when Charlotte was expected to beat Giants and nobody on NFL network picked them.

PS - Another Thursday night blowout these games are awful
yeah...  
BillKo : 9/26/2014 11:07 am : link
he was pretty funny, liked when he said "We like the doubters", when informed everyone had picked the Skins.

Also funny when they showed him running for the TD and he said something like "look at those hamstrings".........
It Was A Good Interview  
Trainmaster : 9/26/2014 11:09 am : link
Rich Eisen (the only on air personality on the NFL network worth listening to) messed up and said "Eli Sanders" to Deion.

The "you can't coach speed" line was very funny.

I'm of course not ready for it for a few years, but I wonder if Eli will end up in the booth doing games?
His funniest line was  
Marty in Albany : 9/26/2014 11:14 am : link
If nobody is open, I run it.
Agree, Marty  
exiled : 9/26/2014 11:17 am : link
That was a fun interview--so different from his usual deadpan post games.

Actually I think he said something like, "I check my first read and if it's not there I run it."

Nice subtle jab to all the running QB's out there.

Disclaimer: I was pretty drunk at the time.
what I saw for the first time  
dairborn : 9/26/2014 11:37 am : link
was really some emotion...they did the whole thing with the "Eli Faces" but based on how he was just going on and on I was like.."Holy shit...is that some excitement" that's pretty cool considering its Eli and he always seems the same no matter what's going on. He is very taken with what the "O" is doing. WOW.....really exciting to see that as a fan
I like that he can poke fun at himself  
steve in ky : 9/26/2014 12:14 pm : link
When they shoed the replay him running for the TD in slow motion he cracked that it was in real time.

Yup NFL network
Anyone catch Marshall Faulk

saying Rasheed James?
Unless someone has it on their DVR and can record it online

We will never see it.
Also Faulk said  
Headhunter : 9/26/2014 12:39 pm : link
no one was over center on the previous play and Eli said thanks I'll remember that
The whole interview was hysterical.  
Great White Ghost : 9/26/2014 12:56 pm : link
Eli Manning, the man with the face that never changes, is in fact a master at expressing himself.The Forrest Gump act is bullshit, Opie is a lie,and it takes real talent, real discipline, to mock an entire panel that way, the better part of the NFLs football fans and a good chunk of the QBs in the nfl that are supposedly better than him and get away with it.
It requires true perception to even understand how sublimely magnificent he was in implictly telling them all to go fuck themselves, quite clearly, 0n national telivision without actually saying it,all whilst covering his ass and being funny as hell in the process.

His Schtik , the likes of which haven't been seen since Gene wilder and Mel Brooks passed, takes as much skill as his football achievements.The man is hilarious.
What I really liked was  
Marine One : 9/26/2014 1:06 pm : link
he reacted to Deon with that "I believe in Eli" kinda stuff with, "We love the doubters" and "just keep doubting" which IMHO was pointed right at Neon. In other words, Eli was saying, "Hey Deon, you aren't kidding anyone with how you started out with that slight and when things roll in our favor, you jump on the wagon and flip it like you are back as a preacher of the gospel. Brilliant Easy "E"

I thought Eli said that in response to Dion's saying the "we all picked against the Giants on the pregame show".

GMAN4LIFE : 9/26/2014 1:14 pm : link


I iked Deions line  
Headhunter : 9/26/2014 1:14 pm : link
that if he was wearing the socks he would be high stepping into the end zone and Eli agrees with him, high stepping
"You still got that earring Deon?"

LMAO @ that picture!  
Lord Zedd : 9/26/2014 1:34 pm : link
Hahahahahaha! Eli looks like a ballerina...
I like how Eli held the ball out as he crossed the goalline  
SHO'NUFF : 9/26/2014 1:46 pm : link
like he was saying to the refs "is this a long enough football move for you? fucking morons! I dare you to call this one back!"
watching that interview  
dorgan : 9/26/2014 1:49 pm : link
last night and after a couple of minutes of Eli talking non stop my wife said, "he should really switch to decaf".

He was still gunned up.
Some of you guys...

He got up there for a chest bump with the JPP of tight ends!
I had to rewind my tv and watch it again  
NYG07 : 9/26/2014 3:27 pm : link
Eli was cracking me up. My favorite line was when they were showing his TD run and he had a line like "look at those hamstrings firing". Him asking Deion if he still had the earing was priceless too. I just love seeing him have fun again.
When they slowed it down in the review  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 9/26/2014 3:34 pm : link
Eli was like, "You see this is full speed here"
Deion  
BigBlueCane : 9/26/2014 3:35 pm : link
has been a believer in Eli for years.
The only thing that would have made that rushing TD more awesome  
jcn56 : 9/26/2014 3:46 pm : link
would've been Eli's signature TD move:

That picture of Eli with Robinson...  
BillKo : 9/26/2014 3:56 pm : link
and his mannerisms through out the fourth quarter..... I think that's the most fun Eli has had playing football since 2012........he needed a game like that.

Part I loved about Eli, after being taken out of the game, he was still on the feed of plays coming in and writing stuff down. I think it was Simms who said "enjoy yourself Eli, you had a great night".
Check out Mariucci's face in the interview  
Reale01 : 9/26/2014 6:20 pm : link
WTF - What was he thinking? He seems angry. He asks Eli anout West Coast offense. Says it doesn't look like what he "did for 10 years". Eli answers and he makes a wierd face. In fact, Deion has to rescue him from an awkward silence. Check it out.
"You can't coach speed".

Thanks for posting that. It is funny and Eli does poke fun in a cool way a couple of times. I'm not sure I see some of the other stuff you guys see in there, though - except the Mariucci face, that *was* weird,
Mariucci is a tool  
LPete : 9/26/2014 8:58 pm : link
of immense, epic , collosal proportions. Fuck him. Overrated doesn't begin to describe him. I thought his 15 minutes were up a long, long time ago, but obviously not. Eli is the fuckin nuts.
