Sporting News has Eli Manning as the Pro Athlete of the Year!!  Hooray and Congrats!!  Also, good luck tonight against the Carolina Panthers on NBC.  It will be interesting to see how the New York Giants Coach, Tom Coughlin manages the game. We know he'll be shooting for the bye.  I'm sure he knows some of his key players could use the rest especially Brandon Jacobs.

We would like to see the NY Giants get on a roll before the playoffs.  It seemed last year they really benefited from the momentum.  Let's hope if they do win out that they stay focused and ready.  Bye weeks can be a doubled edged sword.

Ok, back to the couch wearing my Eli Manning Jersey.
