I accept this challenge with open arms. See you at the debates Fester?

Did you know Fester does drugs? Well, it's true. This ad paid for by the "We think John should be president and not Fester, South Dakota kicks ass and Eli Manning was on steroids during the game" campain.

*Special Note

John does not promote saying anything mean about his opponents. He is a true future president.

There ought to be a lot of electricity flowing around in the debate.

As for Eli, hmmmm, the jury is still out on this one, except in San Diego, of course. He will forever be remembered as daddy's little boy.

Well, my friend's girlfriend kind of overacted (and overspoke) about him being hit by a car. I thought he was was injured as a pedestrian; and injured bad. It turned out that he was involved in an auto accident, and rammed from behind. Nothing serious; but the doctor wanted to keep him under observation for a few days to make sure he hadn't suffered worse. So, I ended up having a quick Vegas trip.
I was able to watch the games, and I'm lucky to pick half of the games right. I lost a prop bet for $100.00 (at 20 to 1 odds payout) when New England chose to kill the clock at the end of their game, instead of giving me the field goal I needed. So, I'm not too happy with them! The early line in Vegas had the Pats giving 13 points for the Super Bowl.
As much as I will not like to admit it; the Pats will win. But they will not cover such a spread. Grace, the Giant coaching staff has been nothing short of brilliant in drawing up game plans that keep Eli Manning within himself. I look for more of the same in the Super Bowl. PATS BY 4; I WOULD TAKE THE OVER AT 43 POINTS!

What can I do Nutty? My Giants are in the Superbowl, and have fought a long hard battle to get there. All my chips are on the table. I Believe

I do not like that though about Eli facing pressure from his father and brother too. I think that there is too much pressure on him. And I am quite certain that I would not like to have anything to do with Archie Manning.

I wish Eli was a Green Bay Packer. Would you still believe, Grace?

I'd take credit for the believe thing, but I stole it, lol.

Coach Coughlin is the old school type. A lambardi(sp?) kinda coach. He has been great for this team, and works as hard as he expects his players to. His team is becoming a reflection of himself, hard core. I think he is a great coach.

One thing that I have noticed about Eli is how good he is under pressure. He typicaly shows up big, in big games, Im not worried about how he will handle the situation. Why the hate for Archie??

Sure, having Farve for the last 14 years or so isnt enough, now you want Eli to??? lol

Oh I don't HATE Archie, Grace. Heck, I don't really even know him. First impressions though is that he might be "one of those dads" ...pressurizing his sons to walk in his footsteps.

I mean, I am being awful here, I will admit. I am judging the man. Maybe you know him better...would he have been as supportive and proud of Eli if he had decided instead to join a Ballet Company?

I really couldnt say. All Ive heard about them, is they were a very close family, Eli more tward his mother. But both brothers were very competitive tward each other, that had to come from somewhere. Eli one time beat Peyton in a game of hoops, and they didnt talk for a long time. Archie took down the net they played on.

I too had heard that Eli was closer to his mom.

I have to wonder though if Archie would have taken down the net if Peyton had won. Hmmm, see what I mean?

I am judging, I know. It is just a feeling I get about the relationships in that household.

It probably didn't help that very recently I watched Love Story again. And Ollie came from the lineage of "The Stuffed Shirt"...and I sorta think I am borrowing from that to cast Archie, for some reason.

They way the article made it sound, he took it down cause he was upset the game came inbetween them.

Peyton told Eli this week that he didnt have anymore advice for him, that he had come full circle. I thought that was nice.
