Kurt Warner recently came out and said that Eli Manning wasn’t a Hall of Fame quarterback this week:
“He’s had two great playoff runs, or his team has had two great playoff runs,” Warner said. “But I also look at the rest of his career. I mean, he has an 82 . . . quarterback rating throughout his career. You know, he’s had five of his eight seasons where he has thrown 16 interceptions or more. His completion percentage on his career is 58 percent. To me, those aren’t Hall of Fame numbers and by that I mean every time you step on the field you’re a game changer, you’re a difference maker. And I don’t believe Eli Manning has been that guy until this year. I think this year is the first time in his career when he’s become that guy.”
Is Warner still pissed he was benched for Eli Manning in 2004? I don’t know what makes Warner think he’s got the authority to make a comment like that – heR...

Kurt Warner Comments About Eli Manning Reek of Jealousy
Kurt Warner—former NFL quarterback, two-time MVP, Super Bowl MVP, three time Super Bowl participant, and frequently debated Hall of Fame candidate—apparently does not believe Eli Manning is Hall of Fame worthy.
He doesn’t even think the discussion should be started yet, which most do after Eli became just the fifth player in NFL history to win Super Bowl MVP twice.

Eli Manning vs. Troy Aikman
Jimmy KraftWith the Giants winning Super Bowl XVLI, Eli Manning is now in the “quarterbacks with multiple championships” category. My fellow cohorts here at Sports-Kings have argued ad nauseum about which quarterbacks should be considered “elite.” Luckily, I will not re-hash the vile they have spewed from our countless behind-the-door team meetings we’ve had leading up...
From a Buffalo point of view: Manning's legacy will be just fine
It was the night of February 11, 2000. I remember I was at a bar in Canada called Daily Planet and for some odd reason, every Wednesday night the place was bumping and there would be a line out the door. Frankly, the bar was kind of a dump. I was chilling on a black leather couch talking to a random girl and making some serious moves. In the midst of getting dissed my make-out...
Time to Re-Rank NFL’s Top 10 QBs After ‘The Year of the Quarterback’
Passing records were broken, Eli Manning proved he really is elite, and a pair of rookie quarterbacks performed far better than expected. Throw in the fact that two of the NFL’s top QBs took their teams to the championship while teams led by strong defenses (Ravens, 49ers) fell short and you’ve got ‘The Year of the Quarterback’. In fact, the Super Bowl Champion...
Eli Manning will probably make the Top 100 players this year
I was asked a few times during Super Bowl week to rank Eli Manning’s place in the current quarterback hierarchy. For 2011 alone, I put him in a tie for fourth with Ben Roethlisberger behind Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees. Before 2011, Manning would have been closer to No. 10 than No. 5.…
Warner says Manning not Hall of Famer
Nobody had rained on Eli Manning’s parade, so leave it to the player Manning replaced to come carrying a dark cloud.
Amid all of the discussion that Manning’s career accomplishments are now nearing Hall of Fame status, former Giants quarterback Kurt Warner decided to be the one to...
Bill Belichick Tells Team ‘Make Them Go To Manningham’
According to ESPN, NFL films picked up audio of New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick telling his team during the Super Bowl to take Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks out of the game and force the New York Giants to win through Mario Manningham. Unfortunately for Patriot nation that is exactly what the Giants did.
“This is still a Cruz-and-Nicks game,” Belichick said during...
Coughlin and Manning: magical
New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin has never won the NFL's coach of the year award. Quarterback Eli Manning has never been the league's MVP. With two Super Bowl victories in the past five seasons, though, they have emerged as the NFL's top coaching-quarterback tandem. And the best might be yet to come.
Eli Manning Should Host Saturday Night Live
Did you see Eli Manning on Letterman last night? He was great. He was funny, clever and charming. After almost a decade in the league and two Superbowl titles, it seems the Giants QB has finally found his personality.
It’s time for Eli to put that personality on display and follow in the footsteps of Derek Jeter, Joe Montana, Tom Brady and, yes, his brother Peyton.

Cleveland Browns: Who Should Be Their Top Free Agent or Draft Day Target?
The Cleveland Browns have many holes on both sides of the ball, and if Phil Dawson leaves, the Browns will have a major hole on special teams as well.
However, the Browns’ biggest area of need is at the wide receiver position. The Browns desperately need to improve their talent and depth at this position. Anyone who observed the Browns’ sputtering offense in 2011 can...
Giants lauded as Super Bowl champs in NYC parade
Thousands of fans roared as New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hoisted the team's Super Bowl trophy from a glittering blue-and-white float Tuesday during a victory parade through New York City, which Mayor Michael Bloomberg quipped should now be nicknamed the "Big Blue Apple."
Brady, Belichick heading to Pebble Beach
Eli Manning went to Disney World after Sunday’s win in Super Bowl XLVI. Pats coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady have a pretty decent consolation prize. Both will be heading to Pebble Beach this week for the annual Pro-Am. No Giants will be making the trip, but Belichick and Brady will be able to…
Assorted NFL Thoughts
Tom Brady has become Peyton Manning (great record, regular-season stats, but can't win the big one), while ironically Eli Manning has become the old Tom Brady (clutch, big-game QB, more modest stats).
While Peyton Manning's record of seven straight 12-win seasons from 2003-2009 is unlikely to be matched, and also bracketed by 10-win seasons, putting that streak at nine...
