Eli: Please Quit Talking

Now, I'm not sure if you've seen the Mark Sanchez cover shoot for GQ. To help out our dear friend, Diane, here's the link. Hopefully everybody will remember this when he becomes a huge flop. Or follows the lead of another New York quarterback by riding a hot defense to a Super Bowl title.

And speaking of that jackass, Eli Messiah couldn't help himself when talking about Sanchez (from Newsday).

"It�s not really my part to go up and talk to him and give him a lot of advice, �Do this, don�t do that,'" Manning said. "He�s got to be himself and figure out the things he needs to do. There�s nothing wrong with being on a magazine or doing those types of things. I wouldn�t take off my shirt but that�s what he�s got to do."

Eli won't take his shirt off, but he's cool with posing in a cape.

Honestly Eli, you are in absolutely no position to tell anybody what to do at all. We've all seen the "lick-off" you had with the Williams brothers. So don't start getting on some other player because he's taking advantage of his new celebrity.

And hell, at least he's going to play for the team that drafted him, you frigging ingrate.

Eli Messiah ... Indispensable?

First, some watch company made those idiotic commercials where they labeled Eli Messiah as "unstoppable," but ESPN has taken it one further. Some clown has listed Eli as one of the 10 most indispensable players in the NFL, joining the likes of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Adrian Peterson, etc. (Read on.)

And he was serious.

Seriously, how hard is it to just heave the ball in the air to Plaxico Burress, allowing him to make a play for the ball. Did this guy not watch the Super Bowl? What exactly did Eli do that nobody else in the NFL could have done?

Do you think that Jay Cutler could have run around and threw a ball to have David Tyree make a one handed catch? Is there an Arena Football League quarterback who couldn�t have thrown the ball to Burress when he corkscrewed a Patriots defensive back in the ground?

In fact, you could argue that the Giants might have been further along if they had another quarterback other than Eli Messiah. Hell, they might have won a couple of Super Bowls had they kept and protected Kurt Warner.

But hey, this moron roped me in like some marlin because I took the bait on this lame story.

The Messiah Has Risen

Welcome to the MWO -- the Manning World Order. Did you ever think you would live in a sports generation were both of the Manning brothers are winners, the Red Sox have won two World Series in the last couple of years and the Boston Celtics are good again. Like every truth you have ever known in the world of sports has been thrown out the window. Having Gomer break through two years ago makes the Messiah�s win a little bit more tolerable.

But not much.

As much disdain as most of you have for the Messiah, you have to give the kid his due as a Super Bowl champion and MVP. Not every quarterback in the NFL could scramble around and heave a ball into the air to have his receiver make a miracle catch. Not every quarterback in the NFL can complete a pass to Plaxico Burress when the defender has fallen to the ground. No, you have to give him his credit as an NFL quarterback and think of him among some of the great quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl such as Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson and Mark Rypien.

You can no longer poke fun at the Messiah, as his name will go down with some of the greats who have won the Super Bowl MVP award, such as Larry Brown, Dexter Jackson and Desmond Howard.

Congratulations, Eli.
