Why Is Eli Manning Always In A Stupor?

Eli Manning

Why does New York Giant’s quaterback Eli Manning always look completely out of it? Whenever the camera pans on him, he appears dazed, confused, and befuddled. It’s almost as if he is a savant quarterback, capable of delivering precision passes and running plays capable of beating the Greenbay Packers, and not much else. In fact, Eli sober doesn’t look all that much different than Eli drunk.

Eli Manning Drunk

That being said, Eli and the Giants pulled off a nail-biter last night against Greenbay, despite the subzero temperatures, and lacking home field advantage. But did anyone else get annoyed by the constant camera pans on Archie Manning (Eli and Peyton’s father), and the praise lavished upon him by the patronizing announcers? They try to play him up as some great legacy quarterback, who had an amazing record.

In reality, Archie has the WORST record of any NFL starting quarterback with over 100 starts (winning only 26.3% of games played). He never had a winning season on any team that he played on. If you were to play a drinking game, where you took a shot each time the announcers fawned over Archie last night, you probably would have been as drunk as Eli in the picture above.

yeah, but he and the giants wont the superbowl last year, upsetting the patriots and ruining their perfect season. I guess ‘looks’ aren’t anything when you’re talking about sports. Who the hell writes tis garbage?

Okay. I’m pretty sure that drunk picture of “eli” is fake, number one. Number two, who cares if he looks out of it. He’s one of the few guys I know who can looked slightly dazed and still be cute =). Not to mention, he’s doing a pretty dang good job at playing football, so who the heck cares what he looks like?
