I have never liked Eli. He always has that pouty expression (and I still think he acted like a petulant child when he was drafted when he refused to go to the Chargers and had his dad intervene), and I dislike the Giants immensely. Having said that, 204 starts in a row is an extraordinary accomplishment, as are the 2 SBs (neither of which they were favored to win, if memory serves), and what he has done for that franchise is undeniable. Since he took over the helm in NY, we have started: Brunell, Ramsey, Campbell, Collins, McNabb, Grossman, Beck, RGIII, McCoy, and Cousins.
The NYG are treating him really poorly at this stage in his career, and he's been classy about it. I hope the football gods curse that franchise for decades for doing this.
