Just like last week’s Tom Brady post, I’ve scoured the New York Times archive for articles about Eli Manning. Here’s a soft article about Eli being raised as a Manning. Here’s an article preceding the 2003 season highlighting Eli’s Heisman hopes. Here’s a recap of the Ole Miss victory at the Cotton Bowl. Here’s an article about the forced trade, mostly focusing on Philip Rivers (who the media transformed from an arrogant douchebag to an ACL-less warrior within a week, partly at the expense of LDT):
The Giants, with Manning, and the Chargers, with Rivers, believe they just drew aces. It may be a few years before it is clear who pulled the better hand.
Giants are in the Super Bowl so it has to be them for now, right?
