Putz. We’ve made the case for New York Giants QB Eli Manning being one on numerous occasions, such as when he has a buzz (slide 4 of 18 in the picture gallery) or when he gets lucky and wins the Super Bowl.
And wife Abby McGrew seemed fine, so we thought his April marriage to her might help diminish his putziness. But plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. That’s our snobby we-know-French-even-though-WordPress-doesn’t-have-accent-keys way of saying the more things change, the more they stay the same.
You see, the “WTF?” prom-inspired attire the Mannings showcased at a NYC gala merely strengthened our …read more

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.
