This video is in response to Tiki Barbers comments that the former NY Giants running back now NBC football analyst made during the halftime report between the Giants and the Ravens. Basically Barber called Eli Manning’s leadership “comical” at times..
In my opinion, the Giant organization may be secretly thanking Barber for making those comments about Eli Manning. It may have fired up the 4th year quarterback!
In the past, Eli may have been hesitant to step on anyones toes because of the other “leaders” on the team, one which is no longer there (Barber) Eli may be realizing it’s time to show (and prove) what he can do as the sole leader of the team. Let’s hope.
I’m glad to see some the veteran players such as Amani Toomer and Shaun O’Hara, support Eli Manning. His teammates have the confidence in him but does he have the confidence in himself?
He has all the motivation to do well and the list keeps growing. Here is a short list:
Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning winning the Super Bowl
Ben Roethlisberger (picked after Eli) winning the Super Bowl
Tiki Barber’s comments
Other Media (negative) comments
etc…
The list probably will go on until he wins a Super Bowl himself.
Really not much else can be said about the Giants winning the Super Bowl that hasn’t been said already.
