Archie Manning raised two humble and God fearing professional football players....
I honestly have to say I have never heard either throw a teammate under the bus....they always step up and put the blame on their shoulders when things are going good..
What Eli endured during last season, especially after the Vikings, would have led most players to crumble....but to his credit...he never complained, never gave in to the easy way out....and in the end....learned and overcame...to succeed.
What this Giant's fan got from last year was something that transcends sports....when things are at their worst, never stop believing in your maker and yourself...never stop trying...and always give it your best...
Kudos Eli....sometimes good guys really do win.....

Good words. Eli did quietly endure such extremely harsh criticism from the New York media and fans...constantly.
I’m glad the Lord answered it by letting Eli win the Super Bowl and the MVP, and after winning all those exciting play-off games.
It was an amazing thing to watch.
