Eli Manning Is About to Become the Highest Paid QB in the NFL

I think the title of this post deserves a "Huh? Are you serious? Did you mean Peyton? You meant Peyton right?" Nope, Eli Manning is on the verge of signing a 6 year 97.5 million dollar extension with the Giants, to make him the highest paid player in the history of the sport. Take it away Mr. Glazer.

"The deal will make the 28-year-old the highest-paid player in the history of the Giants organization as well as the highest-paid quarterback (per year) in NFL history, a figure Giants fans would probably not argue with." Jay Glazer

Now I completely understand the Giants wanting to lock up Manning for a long time. He's a solid leader, he's won a super bowl, and he's become beloved in the city. But highest paid player ever? Really? You can't think he actually deserves that right?

This is the same guy that has never put up sparkling numbers right? The same guy that the entire city of New York was ready to behead at the beginning of 2007? The same guy who watched his Giants get crunched in playoffs by the Eagles?

Yes, he is the same guy that knocked off the unbeatable Patriots. But please someone give me a logical reason why Eli Manning of all NFL Players deserves to be the highest paid. I don't get it.

With that being said, I'm sure the next QB to sign (like a Cheeseburger, Brady or Big Bro), will blow Eli's contract away.

JOE JELLY) IM A TRUE GIANTS FAN. I HAVE BEEN SO SINCE 1986. IVE SEEN ALOT OF QB GET LESS THAN THEY DESERVE AND VICE VERSA,BUT ELI IS DIFFERENT. IVE WATCHED ELI GROW FROM A SCARED PANICY KID WHO COWARDED AWAY FROM DEFEAT,2 A TEAM LEADER THAT LAUGHS AT DEFEAT AND DRIVES ON. NO HE ISNT THE BEST QB EVER,BUT HE IS MY QB,AND I THINK HE IS DAMN GOOD. IM GLAD HE DIDNT LEAVE US,IN FACT IN MY OPINION HE DESERVES 100,000,000. SO ALL U DB'S(THATS DUCHE BAGS) SHOULD GET OFF MY BOYS BACK,AND SHOW SOME LOVE. STAY UP ELI. UR MY QB,AND I WOULD PREFER NONE OTHER THAN U. GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON G-MEN. ILL BE WATCHING. THIS IS (JOE JELLY) SAYING GO G-MEN. 10-4

I definitely think the Giants overpaid for Eli Manning. I dont think he has reached elite quarterback status, and a lot of their success can be attributed to a strong defense and running game.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
