The cheers of the crowd as Eli Manning walked off Lucas Oil Field sounded something like, “Hall-of-Famer!,” replacing the call the once yelled “Over-Rated!” This is Eli Manning’s second Super Bowl win, as well as his second MVP. So is it time to jump onto the Eli Manning train and start loving him like we do his brother?
For the second time now, Eli Manning has led the underdog New York Giants to the Super Bowl against the highly-favored New England Patriots. In 2008, Manning and the Giants stopped the Patriots in their tracks on the way to a perfect season. This year still one of the best teams in football the Giants once again closed the door on the Patriots, in their 21-17 win.
As a native New Yorker I can admit, New Yorkers are harder on their sports teams than almost any other city. This is evident in the case of Eli Manning. While he is known to throw an interception or two, and sometimes let the play clock wind to far down, he is still a decent quarterback.
Heck, Mannin...
