Eli Manning was, admittedly, the most entertaining Manning

Somehow Eli Manning took a 9-7 Giants team to the Super Bowl and won it against the fucking GOAT Tom Brady.

Never count that family out in big games. Ever.

That's a 9-7 Giants team with a negative point differential, thank you.

I forgot they beat a Tom Brady led Patriot team to win that Super Bowl as well.

Was it not the historic undefeated Pats with historic season Randy Moss too?

Yep. In a year-ish period of Boston sports where the ‘07 Red Sox and ‘08 Celtics also both won championships (Bruins too maybe, I don’t remember). Mf-er literally ruined a historic run for the city’s teams.

Not the 9-7 season, that was 2011 (when they blew the 15-1 packers out in Lambeau and played the 49ers in the CCG).

2007 where they beat the packers they went 10-6 and beat the cowboys and then packers in the game that made Coughlin look like a tomato

If it wasn’t for the Mannings, Brady would probably have 4-5 more rings

TBF Peyton was 3-1 in championship games against Brady himself, so Brady is 1-5 against the Mannings in championship games.

I wish I could say thank you, but you also beat my Packers on both playoff runs so...thanks but also screw the Giants and Eli

As a Packers fan, absolutely.

I would've been so pissed if they went out and shit the bed against the Pats.

As a Colts fan, thank you.

As an Irish fan, fuck you 🫡
