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.
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
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
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.
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"
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.
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".
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.

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,
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.
Eli is a surprisingly funny guy

Funny how?

Also funny when they showed him running for the TD and he said something like "look at those hamstrings".........
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?
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.
