glad to see him not play for another team...
#10  
bouchy24 : 1/22/2020 4:59 pm : link
But it’s hard to fathom not seeing see #10 suit up for big blue again...All good things must come to an end. Thank you so much Ei!
My favorite Giant  
bigblue5611_2 : 1/22/2020 4:59 pm : link
granted I'm only 36, but I can't see anyone surpassing him as my all time favorite.

Thank you for all the memories, Eli.
Sheeple, sheeple, wake up.  
Mad Mike : 1/22/2020 5:00 pm : link
This is all just a ruse before he and Coughlin team up somewhere. BBI's been touting that for years, it couldn't possibly fall apart now.
A great Giants' player ans great Giants' era  
BillT : 1/22/2020 5:01 pm : link
Glad to have seen it.

I'm glad he's retiring.

Not perfect. But the greatest quarterback in franchise history, and a Hall of Famer for us.

Looking forward to his induction. Planning to be there.
Thank you legend

Thanks for helping double

The Giants super bowl total Eli.
It's easy to go back and forth on his HoF worthiness  
DieHard : 1/22/2020 5:04 pm : link
But as a Giants fan, I got to witness him slay the dragon (NE) twice, with a boatload of good memories along the way to treasure.

Best of luck as a civilian, Eli!
One of my 2 favorite Giants players of all time  
NY-Fan : 1/22/2020 5:04 pm : link
A true Giant through & through. He gave us some great moments as fans and always did everything the right way. Wish him well going forward in what ever he decides to do.
One uniform  
Chris684 : 1/22/2020 5:05 pm : link
Rare and special.

Not going to lie.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/22/2020 5:06 pm : link
Got a little teary eyed seeing this thread.

My favorite Giant ever. Thank you #10. Thank you.
I bought a Manning jersey in 2004.  
Mr. Bungle : 1/22/2020 5:07 pm : link
Never felt the need to buy a Giants jersey since.

Thanks for a ton of great memories, #10. See you in the Ring of Honor next year.
Wouldnt be surprised  
sshin05 : 1/22/2020 5:07 pm : link
they retire #10. Thank you Eli!
Great giant  
hitdog42 : 1/22/2020 5:07 pm : link
Great person
Great career
Thanks Eli
Great - I think that's best for him and his family.  
Del Shofner : 1/22/2020 5:08 pm : link
Thanks for everything Eli! Please stay with the Giants in some capacity - coach or commentator....
Eli = Legend  
mfsd : 1/22/2020 5:08 pm : link
Took down the Belichick Pats in the Super Bowl twice with 4th quarter comebacks.

Career games missed due to injury = 0

Cell phones destroyed to hide evidence from the NFL = 0

Number of times he complained publicly about all the idiots in the media and fans taking shots at him = 0

Number of times he criticized a teammate for a screw up = 0

All class all the time. Eli will be missed.
Easily Best Giants' QB Ever  
Giants38 : 1/22/2020 5:08 pm : link
HOFer. No doubt. Don't care that people would debate it, but he is undoubtedly a HOFer. Only dispute is whether it is on the first ballot.
I am glad he is not going somewhere else  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 1/22/2020 5:08 pm : link
for a year or two. One of the best ever. As a man and as a player.
Knew it was coming  
Danny Kanell : 1/22/2020 5:08 pm : link
But man this just hit me hard.

My favorite athlete of all time. Friday is gonna be one hell of an emotional day.
Thanks for the memories.  
robbieballs2003 : 1/22/2020 5:08 pm : link
A true class act.
thank you, Eli  
ColHowPepper : 1/22/2020 5:09 pm : link
Going out the right way...  
bw in dc : 1/22/2020 5:10 pm : link
It's a helluva an accomplishment playing for one team for 15 years, and in the NY market.

Very well done.
I fucking love

+1, with humor too.
I'm already getting choked up thinking about it...  
kinard : 1/22/2020 5:11 pm : link
... we were so lucky as a fan base to have him as the face of our our franchise all these years. Quite a run.

Wow  
BleedBlue : 1/22/2020 5:11 pm : link
We all knew the day would come. I am stupidly emotional about it. The guy is the epitome of class. I think I speak for all Giants fans when I say, we all love you Eli. Thanks for everything #10. A true GIANT!
Greatest Giants Qb  
lax counsel : 1/22/2020 5:12 pm : link
Of all time. A consummate professional on and off the field and someone that was easy to cheer for. It wasn't always pretty, but he provided us all with a lot of memories in what should be a hall of fame career. Good decision for him, there's nothing left to prove.

Gotta buy a box of tissues  
The_Boss : 1/22/2020 5:12 pm : link
Friday is going to be rough on my eyes.
I love Eli Manning.  
Bold Ruler : Mod : 1/22/2020 5:13 pm : link
Thank you for all you did for this franchise and its fans.
Gave us some of the best sports memories you could ask for  
Sneakers O'toole : 1/22/2020 5:14 pm : link

No kidding. I was expecting him to retire and seeing this was still a punch in the gut.
Favorite Giant ever

No contest. Thanks for the memories.
Expected it  
Dave on the UWS : 1/22/2020 5:15 pm : link
but I feel sad just the same. End of an era is always sad, but especially so with a person of Eli’s character.
"Eli will be fine"

LEGEND
Thank You Eli! A True Class Act I Appreciate You!

of my sports watching life. And a pretty damn good career overall.

The greatest Giant  
Ben in Tampa : 1/22/2020 5:16 pm : link
Retire his number, put him in the Ring of Honor

Legend
Thank you Eli...you're a class act  
Torrag : 1/22/2020 5:16 pm : link
I'll always remember Eli from that road win at San Fran in the NFC Championship. One of the bravest, toughest, clutch wins EVER, anywhere, anytime.

Enjoy all your success and accolades. You earned them.
Thank you Eli  
dpinzow : 1/22/2020 5:18 pm : link
for the 2 Super Bowls. That will live forever
Super Bowl 42 was the sports highlight of my lifetime.  
bceagle05 : 1/22/2020 5:18 pm : link
This freaking legend throws for 150 yards and 2 TDs in the fourth quarter alone to secure that win. Then he comes back and carries us to a second one.
So proud to have Eli as the QB of our Giants  
Rjanyg : 1/22/2020 5:18 pm : link
Amazing career. Thank you #10 for your class and the 2 Lombardi’s
