Eli Manning’s Girlfriend Get the Big Chill

Question: What is the greatest quarterback lesson Eli Manning ever learned from Tony Romo?
Hint: It has to do with #1 fans.
Ready?
Answer: “Don’t let your girlfriend jinx you.”
The New York Giants QB (and kid brother to Commercial Guy Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning) didn’t want his honey straying into Jessica Simpson territory at last night’s NFC Championship game against the Green Bay Packers. Eli’s fiancee, Abby McGrew, had to rough it with the rest of the little people at Lambeau Field. None of this suite stuff for Eli’s sweetie, whose presence in the VIP box in games past resulted in less-than-fab outings for her main man.
According to oldest Manning bro Cooper, Eli told his future bride to “get her thermals ready.” No, she didn’t throw the engagement ring in his face like a penalty flag. Cooper reports that Ms. McGrew was a good sport about the uh, special request.
Given the victorious Giants’ wild card entry into the Super Bowl, we wonder if Eli Manning is onto something. Will this usher in a new era of QB girlfriends relegated to the stands? Arizonians, keep an eye out for a Gisele Bundchen near you.
That’s love! I wondered who he was looking for in the stands after the game. He was just wandering around, looking stunned, trying to find someone in the crowd.
And he’s thinking . . . “I can’t find her but I can’t wait to tell her how well this worked out and that she’ll be much more comfortable in the stands in Arizona, where it’s nice and warm.”
