\"\"<\/span><\/a>Okay, I’ll have to admit I wasn’t too thrilled with Eli Manning’s<\/a> draft stunt in the 2004 draft. As many of you know, I have this…THING…for Kerry Collins<\/a>. Not really a crush, it’s not like I have lustful dreams about him (he’s married too!), but let’s just say that I’m happy when he does well, and get pretty pissed when he’s not doing well — whether in his football or otherwise.<\/span>

<\/span>
<\/span>
If I remember correctly, the San Diego Chargers had picked Eli first, then traded him to NY for Philip Rivers<\/a> (Go Pack!) and the opportunity to be #1 pick the following year. I remember news footage of a less-then-happy Eli holding up Chargers jersey, and an absolutely-thrilled Eli with the Giants jersey. Something like that. Remember, I’m just a girl, so I’ve probably fouled up that entire explanation.<\/span>
<\/span>

<\/span>
Kerry Collins, the NY Giants starting QB, ended up leaving the team and going to Oakland for the 2004-2005 year, where I believe he was 2nd string to Drew Bledsoe at first. I didn’t find any of that very fair, and I directed that disappointment towards Eli. Dave doesn’t think I’m being fair. He’s probably right.<\/span>

<\/span>
<\/span>
Tonight was the most exciting Super Bowl I’d seen in years, though. And Eli was certainly deserving of some of the glory! As you’ve noticed, though, I posted a picture of another key to their win tonight: Plaxico Burress, a former Steeler! Caught the touchdown pass on their last score. He was amazing!<\/span>
<\/span>

<\/span>
PS: I just read that Kerry Collins has a 1500 acre ranch about an hour west of here, in Asheboro, NC. Cool!<\/span>
