As everyone on this board knows I don't follow sports media very closelyl... even regarding the Rams.... so go easy on me here if I'm way off base.
Seems I saw more negative press, (over the years), regarding Eli than nearly any other NFL Player... maybe more than anyone that wasn't involved in some horrible scandal anyway.
So outta curiosity... that because he was in NY, ya think? I've alway heard NY can be hard on their own sports teams (players). - JamesJM
JJM,
You are nit wrong, he has received a lot of negative press the past couple of years because his overall quality of play, but I don’t think it is because he played in NYC. I think it is because he won 2 SB’s and his stats are pretty avg, at best, since his second SB. I might be wrong, but I don’t think the Giants have been back to the playoffs since their last SB.
