Eli Manning - The Autograph

SethFromAstoria : 2/6/2016 12:42 am
No clue if this was posted. Sorry if it was. Just an article about the best NYC athlete and most ideal pro athlete in general doing what he does -- being a professional off the field as well as on. Another thing to add to his long list of things that should make him immune to newspaper covers calling him crap for throwing a bad pass. Yeah I said that correctly: IMMUNE to one bad pass or play. He's a winner and does every single other thing perfectly as a QB and NYC athlete. He's underappreciated by some, incorrectly insulted by the media sometimes and underrated as an NFL QB. Which seems so ridiculous it's comical. Add this to Eli's list:

Peyton - best QB ever until the playoffs
Eli - Best Giants QB ever, 2 time Super Bowl MVP, philanthropist.

He's like Adam Graves but a champion QB and career long NYC athlete with one team.

Dep what do they call you? Eli "Supporter"? Ideally the Eli Detractors come around at some point

Something we all could learn from.
Really hoping

he wins this award tomorrow. Especially having a father with cancer and also how quiet Eli keeps it that he is so involved with this. It's genuine charity and amazing to see. It's why I can't help myself when I see people post anti-Eli crap.

By the way, The Players Tribune is fantastic. Jeter did a superb job with this thing. Always some of the best reads if you're a sports fan. Awesome idea.
Great stuff, and a genuinely nice guy.

People just don't get him...the disappointed looks and stupid INTs jump out to them, but the humble gentleman and great teammate can't be seen through a TV screen.
How do people not like this guy?

I mean, why isn't everyone on this site an Eli homer? I dug this article up--responses from teammates after the opening Dallas game, and the whole dunce-cap crap. The fact that he continues to pick himself up, no matter what else is going on and all the media pressure, is amazing to me. (Not unlike that SF playoff game.)

Herzlich: "It’s brutal. I mean, there’ve been times a couple of years back, we were losing six games in a row — the media was killing him. Just killing him. And you see this guy go out there and still attend charity events, still put his face out in the public, and say: ‘Look, this is me. I want to win. We want to win. We’re gonna do it the right way.'"

Even my mother read the hell out of this so I assume some other people want to here.
