New York Giants QB and Super Bowl Lucky Duck Eli Manning and his longtime sweetie Abby McGrew got married at a sunset beachside ceremony in Mexico on Saturday. And here we thought those pictures of a less-than-100%-sober Manning that hit the blogosphere would have given her cold feet.

Manning proposed last March in Hoboken, NJ, which raises the question, “Why would a guy ask for his honey’s hand in marriage in Hoboken?” . . . a worthy query that has yet to be answered.
But we digress, because we have another important question. What was the minister getting at when he observed that Eli’s hands are “quite large“? (Yes, we assume he’s implying their usefulness regarding footballs, but humor us, OK?)
No word on whether Double Stuff Oreos were served at the reception or whether brother Peyton challenged the new groom to a cookie face-off.
















You know what they say……….big hands, small pee-pee.
Precisely. Who among us would be surprised if Eli got more spam than the rest of us regarding the need for certain types of enhancement?
How stupid! Why so much emphasis put on the size of a man’s privacy. And, who knows besides maybe teammates and his wife. It’s not the size that counts. It’s how he knows how to use it and mostly HOW TO USE IT FOR HIS WIFE ONLY. I think this is a personal matter and just junk thrown in about a fanatastic football play. Best of luck Eli and Abby. Forget the size, and enjoy!!!!!!!
Blame The Bee! All we did is draw attention to the minister’s remark (and then come up with a witty response to The Bee’s comment).
We wish Eli and Abby well, too. We just don’t want to suffer through more Manning commercials or talk about what a great QB he is(n’t).But even we’re not so snarky as to deny someone a happily ever after. ;)
I really wish you could have published the correct words on Eli Manning’s wedding.
Just for the record, there was never any joke about how large or how small the hands were.
This part comes from the “ceremony of hands” that I preside. This is a very noble and romantic part of the ceremony. Not a joke.
Too bad such a beautiful and meaningful event was twisted by people who cannot listen right because they are hiding
away from hotel security in their rooms. Right?
Please don’t put the wrong words on people’s mouths.
Should you ever want to publish the truth all you have to do is ask.
God Bless you.

Darn that Boston paper for leading us in the wrong direction.
Sorry, Rev. Marco, we meant no harm. We’re as Catholic as they come and just having some fun at the expense of our second-least-favorite quarterback.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Maybe you’ll enjoy some of the other posts, especially if you’re a Red Sox fan? ;-)
