Eli Manning

I apologize, as I was watching the Giants-Bears game, I was virtually certain that Eli Manning was blind. I will check my sources and will edit the page again if he is ever indeed proven to be blind. (joking) Bluefield 00:24, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

well, heckaroony. That's two weeks in a row that my new friend Eli has helped me out. First, he scores all the Vikings' points. Then, he somehow manages to fuddle his way to a win against the central division rivals. I'm liking mini-manny more and more. He has single-handedly made a playoff team out of the Minnesota Lackings! Unrelated, I'm proud of your efforts in winning over earning receiving several supports in your ArbCom flirtation. Way to burn man. Fuego frio. Too bad you didn't get EndlessDan's vote though, thought you would have that one for sure. Happy edits, Keeper | 76 19:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Grossman, in my opinion, is a great QB to have as a division rival, and as much as I respect Kitna's ability to bounce off the turf like a "body opponent bag", he certainly doesn't have the support he needs. Also, the Wind of the Windy City sure was playing tricks on your kicker's mental state... Keeper | 76 19:45, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, but we love hating our teams and hate loving them, don't we? I've been the fan that knows better for years and years. I've seen coaches, players, owners and stadiums come and go. Some good, some bad. Hang in there. Your boys have got a lock on a wildcard. I would take Eli Manning over many, many, many, many others. Keeper | 76 20:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok, now that was just hurtful, borderline vandalism. Citing SuperBowl victories to a Vikings fan is just cruel. Cruel, my friend. (just kidding). Like these poor saps, the eventual Vikings victory should prove as appreciated as a good-wine-in-the-cellar. Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. Keeper | 76 20:43, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to poor the salt there. I choose baseball over football any day. My two favorite baseball teams? 1. Piranhas. 2. Whoever is playing the most overpaid, undertalented, egotistical wannabes in baseball. Oops, that was supposed to link here. Basically I feel sorry for these guys who likely will never see October baseball again simply because of the size of their owners' checkbooks. And as a diehard AL-er, I'm sorry, but my farmboys and Venezuelan superstars don't have a chance, hence hate develops. Really, it's just jealousy. When we lose all our best players (coming soon) to bottomless East Coast pockets, it just festers out of control...Keeper | 76 21:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

You are absolutely right about deep pockets. Our guys certainly aren't hurting for ching, they just don't spend it as well, IMO. There's nothing sweeter than a billioniare begging the taxpayers for money for a stadium. That's called Kahonies. Part of me wants them to loosen the strings, but there is definitely the martyr-ific allure of being a "small market" team and defying the odds. Keeper | 76 15:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Very bad news developing for both of us. My guy looks to be turning into your 19 games per season nightmare...so sorry. May it never be. We already lost three good ones. Makes me ill. Keeper | 76 15:37, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it's still an if but looking more and more like a when. IMO, the Bo-sox need him. They're giving away Lester to get him. And being such an old park, I'm not sure the accessibility will be adequate to get the old-timers in the building, what with tennis-balled walkers and all. Roll the dice lacks consistency. Beckett is worrisome though, but not until late - only a matter of time before he becomes a new redirect. Whatever happens, I hope it's not the Tigers. Anybody but the freakin' Tigers. Sheesh. (at least one small market team knows how to spend it) Keeper | 76 17:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

"delete and merge"
