OT: Eli Manning announces retirement

[fxmallon]

If he gets into the Hall, he should bring those 4 guys along the Defensive Line with him. No way he gets those rings without them.

Giants fanboys fawning over Eli Manning after spending the year stepping over his dying body in favor of “DaNnY DiMeS” is something else.

Feast for Crows. It was only a matter of time the 2 wins were going to appease that fanbase. Not even mediocrity after 2011, just down right terrible play.

You can't spell "elite" without "Eli"!

nor "disbelief"...

That's kind of stupid -- announcing that you will be announcing your retirement.

stuff like this literally happens all the time. Why is it stupid

 

[Deus Irae]

Plunkett, arguably a superior player, is not in the HOF. He doesn't belong there, either, but he belongs in before Eli. It's just two mediocrities who happened to win multiple Super Bowls.

Congrats to them on the titles. Let them enjoy the HOFs of their respective teams. But they don't belong in Canton.

He will get in the HOF but shouldn’t. Discuss

I feel this way but if everyone is saying this...maybe he doesn’t.

Just because it happens all the time doesn't mean it isn't stupid.

I just don’t understand why it’s stupid. It’s just an announcement to officially announce that he’s retiring. He’s a franchise legend.

title is a bit misleading based on what he actually said but still a moronic take considering Brady has how many winning drives in the 4th Q/OT in the Super Bowl?

He's getting killed for it on Twitter, at least, even from Midgets fans...

Because by announcing that he will announce his retirement, he already has announced his retirement. He could have issued a statement saying a press conference is scheduled addressing his Giants status.

Respect Rob’s game and don’t take it seriously. This is his shtick and it’s basically just like a bad comedian, but it puts (a little) food on the table.

 

[Patriot Missile]

For the love of God, are people really going to click on that Parker article?

Minus Pittsburgh twice and KC last year, Brady has never won a championship game on the road like Eli has after all. Bart Scott territory.

It’s ok though. Patriots are still the reigning Superbowl Champs for a week and a half for all the haters.

Parker doesn’t believe a word of his own hawt taeks.

Parker doesn’t believe a word of his own hawt taeks.

He and Kellerman have an absolutely loathing for Boston sports and it gets in the way of them saying anything rational. It's like a Boston fan saying Jeter or Rivera suck, which is ridiculous.

Sums it up. If he played in any other city in the country, he'd have no shot.

The Manning name also plays a role. If he was Eli Smith or Eli Brown or Eli Plunkett, not would seriously consider him for the HOF. NY + NFL royalty covers up a lot of warts.

That wouldn't surprise me at all.

 

[Joker]

I'm confused...Ecry "retired" two years ago....he's just announcing it now? Musta been preoccupied....
