America: Is This The Dorkiest Eli Manning Has Ever Looked?

by Dan Fogarty | 2:30 pm, June 15th, 2012

Eli Manning appeared this morning for a quick hit on Fox and Friends to give boilerplate answers to questions about the Giants’ upcoming season (“We need to improve!”), fellow NYC quarterbacks Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez (“They get all the attention!”), and whether or not he helped his brother Peyton move to Denver (“I didn’t!”). But in the midst of Eli just aw-shucksing it up in midtown Manhattan with Fox and their Friends, I couldn’t help but wonder: is this the absolute nerdiest Eli Manning has ever looked?

Because he’s looking really, really helpless here. Like a child separated from his parents at the Stop-N-Go. A child from 1950. Maybe an extra on “Leave it to Beaver.” Look at the combover! The shirt! The fact that he looks like the guy Barbie might date on the side, but then realize is not that exciting, and go back to Ken for! But then maybe marry anyway!

But, never forget: he is a cold-blooded 4th quarter killer who will lull you into a false sense of security with his apparent harmlessness, THEN RIP YOUR FAVORITE TEAM’S HEART OUT AND LAUGH AS YOU WEEP SOFTLY INTO THE NIGHT.

And here he is looking like his mom dressed him.

Wth is with guys and Eli Manning? Whenever my gal pals and I see this man, we are all collectively sighing. Eli is gentlemanly, handsome, courteous, responsible. In other words, he actually acts like a MAN. Comb over? Helpless? Mommy dressed him? Someone needs to grow up, but it sure as hell isn’t Eli <3

It’s hard to believe an actual adult wrote this. Not only is it infantile but completely…wrong. What’s wrong with his shirt, exactly? From a hetero female….I ask, really what the ef are you talking about? He looks fine. Adorable as always.

Hey Dan?
When you get 2 Super Bowl rings…..named twice as the Super Bowl MVP…..when you donate millions to build hospitals for kids….or raise millions to help blind folks obtain guide dogs……or help children suffering with autism ….THEN you can talk about others……but you know what, Dan? People who do those kinds of things for others don’t even think about calling names.

What a crap article. I wasn’t thinking anything close to what Dan was thinking. Not even close. Husband, father, champion. Eli has grown into a man. Maybe Dan should try it.

How old are you Dan? 12?
