We weren't there, but we imagine that this was pretty much every day in the Manning family backyard, circa 1985. The small, helmeted figure, crawling in a stupor after smashing into a large object ... that would be Eli, and it really would explain a lot to current New York Giants fans.
Note to small children: When your older brother tells you to wear the crash helmet, and then says "Run!" that's a red flag right there. Time to notify mom.

Clop and Pham's best work since "Big Wheels Crash". Oscar-worthy.
That is also how the typical engineering student finds a date.
There's no way Eli could take those kinds of hits. Then or now.
i wanna do that with earl boykins
Is that the oldest brother Hootie Manning?
Where is Cooper's wheelchair?
apparently his spider-sense wasn't working in attempt #2
Change the green stripes to black, and you have the official Bengal trapper.
seriously, this ranks up there with super trampoline basketball
i prefer to torture young children by telling them the truth about jesus...he raped and murdered santa.
MEDIC!
I think Mom was behind the camera. Maybe crash test dummy kid was the result of a broken condom or too many wine coolers.
seriously, this ranks up there with super trampoline basketball
Blasphemy!
(this is pretty funny though.)
I've watched Super Trampoline Basketball approximately 10,000 times.
Super Tube Rodeo is no Super Trampoline Basketball.
But yeah, it's ok.
MDT - I didn't say its better. I just said it ranks up there with it. Nothing tops STB (at the moment).
That's exactly how I feel at work everyday.
I wish they had You Tube when I was a kid, I could fit my little sister into a kitchen cabinet and leave here there for hours until my mom found her.
These guys should sue Borat for copyright infringement for the "Wedding Sack".
That's how Gunner fucked up his leg...
i would be much more assertive if i'd had a younger brother to beat up on. instead, i had to settle for stuffing my younger cousin into laundry hampers.
This almost made me choke to death on California Roll. The slo-mo planative wail at the end was tragically beautiful.
A helmet?! Kids are so soft today. And for the record, we used to tie my little brother to a tree in the front yard with an extra-long jump rope.
i used to zip my little brother up in a sleeping bag and toss him down the stairs.
The best part is that we get to relive Super Trampoline Basketball... tomorrow!
I do need to point out, Super Trampoline Basketball is no Guy Gets Soccer Ball to the Face. I've watched that video more times than I can count, and it's funny every time.
After the first victim is caught, he makes a sound that can only be compared to a cat that is stuck in a recliner.
Guy Gets Soccer Ball to the Face is "Biodome" to Super Trampoline Basketball's "The Godfather".
It works on so many levels!
Nothing--nothing--can top Grapes Stomping. http://youtube.com/watch?v=i9UA-JSBm90
I didn't do bad things to my little brother (he's disabled), but my cousins? Three brothers - I'd hold the middle one in the air by his ankles and let the other two practice flying drop-kicks.
Oh...
Clop and Pham are the filmmakers' names!
I thought it was a "Batman"-style sound effect graphic.
Liz, Eli may look like a mongoloid and may not be able to complete a pass to a wide open receiver, but the kid can certainly take a hit. if you don't believe me, watch game tape from every game he played in from 2004, and last week's game against Carolina.
Unsilent Majority: Does Jesus have a sister?
supermike - we have similar little brother torturing techniques
I used to employ more psychological torture on my little brother. When he was 3-4 and I was 6 or 7, we were playing Veterinarian with our stuffed animals and I pretend that his favorite stuffed Bunny crashed and flatlined (I even did sound effects), then I put Bunny in a shoebox and buried it in the backyard. My brother was so upset. I got grounded.
If Eli took that hit, he would have lost at least 12 yards.
This has nothing to do with sports, but the clip is terrific. I wanna try this on everyone.
I didn't torture my little brother, which was a good thing, since he was only three years younger than me and grew up to be an all-state wrestler who would have destroyed me if given means, motive and opportunity.
That clip makes me want to go laugh at my younger brother and then kick my older brothers ass.
I used to put my little cousins in the human torture rack, a la lex luger
My step brother and I would put one soccer sock into another soccer sock and have my little brother run between us as we tried to wrap the sock around his legs and watch him fall to the ground. Then when he would start crying we would ask him if he was tough like Mike Tyson and he would say yes and keep playing the game. Little brothers are a gift from God.
I didn't have an older brother, but this older neighborhood kid did convince me to put on a football helmet so he could fire a slingshot (a real one, not some Davy Crockett shit) at it. I chickened out at the last second and after a lot of arguing we agreed to do a dry run with the helmet empty. The slingshot bullet blew out the back of the helmet, caromed into the bathroom and destroyed every piece of glass in there.
Moral: If told to wear the crash helmet, get Mom then. Don't wait for "Run."
Nothing compares to "Half court basketball to the face", however this comes close. Think Back to the Future Part 2 to Part 1. Sorry for that Sports Guy moment.
Run, you fucking toddler, run!
I was the youngest sibling in my family. I definitely sympathize with this kid. I'm still disappointed that by the time I got about 60 pounds on my older brother, he had already moved away. One of these days when he's least expecting it...
I used to put my little cousins in the human torture rack, a la lex luger
Ditto. And the Perfect Plex, until my brother and I broke a table and I got the beating.
my little brother used to keep our cordless phone shoved down his pants so he could call my parents when i locked him in dark, cramped areas. he was no fun.
