Eli: I'm ready to lead Giants
With Tiki Barber gone into retirement, Tom Coughlin has laid the mantle of leadership at the feet of Eli Manning, who can either kick it aside or reach down and embrace it the way all Giants fans desperately want him to do. Manning says he's ready to accept the challenge.

We'll see. Dedication issues continue to surround this kid - though he has nearly impossible shoes to fill thanks to his brother. The New York media, mixed with the lack of a real running back is not going to make it any easier on him. His best chance is if Coughlin can actually use his stupid head and run more plays through Shockey, who has been criminally under-used in the Coughlin/Manning era. While he as an excellent blocking TE, his strength is making big grabs and energizing the team - and it won't hurt Eli to have a short-route threat a little more often. Still think Coughlin shoulda been fired...

Eli without a running game is a scary thought (to the Giants). It's not like he's Peyton... this guy hasn't proven that he can even crack to 60% completion rate barrier.
Oh, and they can't run more plays through Shockey because Shockey is a nutjob who does his job half the time and disappears the other half of the time. Like most of Eli's receivers - the only person he can actually trust seems to be Plaxico, and I dunno if that's saying much

What the hell is he going to lead? I think Eli will be good one day, but that day won't come this year. Hello 5-11.

Mr. Eli Manning says : "Yes....I will lead! I will lead the NFL in interceptions thrown, incomplete passes, sacks from thin air, and my personal favorite, EXCUSES!" Will the real Eli Manning please stand up?

Kinda sad that it took Tiki Barber retiring for the coach to actually ask the QB to be a leader. That pretty much says it all about Eli.

All I got to say is that as a Giants fan I'm getting ready for a 5-11 season. Be prepared for a lot of underthrown passes at receivers feet followed by Eli holding onto his helmet in disbelief while giving his signature Corky from "Life Goes On" face.

Funny...Spartak Olga looks just like Next Door Nikki...Hmm? Bro, get a life! That's sad, that a guy would resort to stealing pictures off the interest to trick guys into thinking he's a hot Russian Chick. You sir, are a flaming ****.
