An MVP award does not a legend make

Eli Manning is your Super Bowl XLII Most Valuable Player.

Yeah, I laughed at it too, thought for a second that I was writing for Comedy Central as a backup writer, since the real ones are on strike. Call me the Jared Lorenzen of comedic writers.

Eli Manning, America? Is this the best we can do? In the land of the free and the home of the Brady, we get the second (maybe third, how hard could Cooper throw?) best Manning quarterback. A guy who threw a couple of fortunate passes, and in the right time of year, had his weekly interceptions dropped or fall innocently to the turf.

Now the onus is on the AFC and its one-year Super Bowl losing streak. It's the NFC's world, baby, and we're living in it.

Eli Manning? How do you answer a question formed by a guy's name?

Simple.
