So starts a weekend to celebrate our beloved captain #10. A man who never missed a game and took us to the promised land twice. Giving all of us some of the best and most unforgettable moments of our lives along the way. Post your favorite Eli picture below and let's celebrate all he gave to The New York Giants.
Yeah. LT was a better player but he came with the baggage.
I couldn't imagine a player representing a team as well as Eli did over the course of his 16? years. Couple that with his trophies and I don't think there is a debate.
Loved that exchange in the locker room. I think it was after the first SB. That woman had balls to do what she did in front everybody present and the entire country.
Think about it - all those people (mostly men) and she calls out Bradshaw (who is and has been a Football celebrity since the 70's) in front of everyone ... and on national television!!!
I am going to youtube right now to see if I can find a replay of it.
Tough: See the San Fran playoff game. Or that first hit he took versus the Eagles. Or when they said he'd be out 10 weeks with a shoulder injury and he started 7 days later.
Clutch: Game winning drives against the Pats in 2 Superbowls. 35+ come from behind victories.
Class: Has any giant ever represented the city and organization any better. "Once a Giant, only a Giant."
Talent: Top ten in every statistical category of all time.
Nothing but love for Eli!
It was an honor and a privilege to watch him play QB for my favorite team.
Iconic pic above from San Fran as well calling for time out while probably seeing double after the hit he took. The toughness he showed over 16 years personified in one game and that image in particular.

Same.
Some went to other teams and were like, “oh, yeah, not everyone is Eli.”
Also earlier episode said plays like Manningham in the SB didn’t just happen. He set garage cans at different sideline distances and wouldn’t go in until he dropped it in enough times.
Good player. Humble, classy guy. And so clutch.
fucking
Smith
Ruining one hell of an an amazing streak.
Thankfully BBI will never forget his resilience and toughness and desire to just be on the field and win a game.
Love you Eli. Giants did you dirty and you still gave them two rings.

Really? That doesn't look like you at all
I think I might have been more excited winning that game than actually winning the Super Bowl. Winning the Super Bowl was as much relief as it was joy. No one gave us a chance against that Packers Team.

Thanks, Big Blue in Keys. Yeah, that win in Green Bay was huge. The last game I’d been to was the Seattle game where Jay Feely missed three game winning field goals. The Green Bay game was feeling awfully familiar…. Once we won that game I knew we’d have a good chance in the Super Bowl given how close we played the Patriots in week 17.
