Report: The Giants Are Looking For Their Next Franchise Quarterback

The Giants’ front office is apparently as fed up with Eli Manning as anyone who has watched a Giants game this year has been, and is, according to ESPN, working to find a new quarterback in this year’s draft....

It's Time For The Giants To Move On From Eli Manning

The Giants are 1-7 and after the season they’re going to clean house. Being bad is bad enough, but being bad in a season in which they were trendy Super Bowl contenders is going to cost coach Ben McAdoo his job, and maybe GM Jerry Reese his, and possibly even spell the end of Eli Manning’s time in N...

Bad Quarterback Performance Of The Week: Eli Manning Is Old And Alone

Welcome to Bad Quarterback Performance Of The Week, a recurring feature in which we celebrate the worst quarterback play the NFL has to offer....

Ben McAdoo Calls Out Eli Manning, But The Giants Have Much Bigger Problems

It was just one play. It was a big play, potentially a crucial one, but we’re probably not sitting here dissecting it as if one delay-of-game penalty was responsible for all the Giants’ ills if coach Ben McAdoo hadn’t (deservedly/unusually) put the blame squarely on Eli Manning....

Peyton Manning Mocks Kevin Durant And Russell Westbrook For Your Enjoyment

At tonight’s sports awards show, host Peyton Manning took a soft jab at Kevin Durant’s front-running, then followed up with an appeal to KD’s former teammate Russell Westbrook. Each NBA star sold the gag with some pretty solid deadpan glares....

It's Been 20 Years Since Peyton Manning, The Jets, And The Draft That Might Have Been

Twenty years ago, the NFL draft was marked by one of the most fateful quarterback choices in league history: Peyton Manning’s decision to stay at the University of Tennessee for his senior year. The Jets, who had the No. 1 pick in 1997, are still reeling from the aftershocks. And it all may have bee...

Eli Manning Asked Giants Equipment Manager For Helmets "That Can Pass As Game Used"

A civil action filed against the New York Giants, CEO John Mara, and quarterback Eli Manning contains emails that plaintiff/collector Eric Inselberg claims prove Manning knowingly passed off memorabilia as game-used with the help of equipment manager Joe Skiba....

It's Time To Speculate About Peyton Manning's Political Aspirations

Now that Peyton Manning, the ad pitchman and NFL quarterback, has retired from one of his two day jobs, it’s natural to wonder what comes next. He’s still making a string of commercials, but he hasn’t made much visible progress toward finding new football-based employment. Jay Glazer reported earlie...

Oh Hey, It's Jim Irsay

It had been 18 days since the end of the season since we’d heard hide or hair of Colts owner Jim Irsay, which was very strange considering the questionable job statuses of coach Chuck Pagano and GM Ryan Grigson, both of whom, after another disappointing season, seemed prime candidates to be replaced...

Don't Burn Your Mouth On This Piping Hot Hockey Beef

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid missed a couple of months last season when he slid into the boards with Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning in a Nov. 3, 2015 game, and broke his clavicle. At the time, McDavid didn’t blame Manning for the injury, but in last night’s game, the Oilers ...

Eli Manning Read The Bengals' Defense Like A Coloring Book

Eli Manning was slinging (for better or for worse), Odell Beckham was doing his thing, the defense looked like a throwback to the best Tom Coughlin years in the way it pressured Andy Dalton, and even the much-maligned running game picked up a huge first down to run out the clock, something the Giant...

Eli Manning Denies Calling "Trump" Audible

In the second quarter of the Giants’ 17-10 win over the Rams in London, on-field mics caught Eli Manning calling for an audible at the line of scrimmage. It sure as hell sounded like, “Trump Trump, Trump Trump.”...

Peyton Manning's Hairline Is A Lie

Eagle-eyed reader Jim writes in that an ad campaign on ESPN.com features multiple Peyton Manning hairlines scattered amongst inane takes by Stephen A. Smith and fantasy football promotions. The former NFL QB is shilling for some brand you’ve never heard of, and when we checked for ourselves we found...

Chris Mortensen Deserves Better Than This Maudlin Peyton Manning Gatorade Ad

It’s simply got to be gnawing at Chris Mortensen, the longtime ESPN NFL reporter, to be missing the draft this year. He announced in January that he’s got throat cancer, Stage IV, and that’s all kinds of terrible for anyone, not least for a guy who trades on having a voice. Since the draft kicked of...

Peyton Manning Quotes <i>Forrest Gump</i> To Question About UT Allegations

Peyton Manning was all smiles and tears at his retirement press conference, at least until he was finally asked the question that everyone seemed to be waiting for. Toward the end of the presser, USA Today’s Lindsay Jones brought up the recently resurfaced allegations made by a former Tennessee athl...

DeAngelo Williams Has Petty And Righteous Thoughts About Peyton Manning

Today is the day when everyone is supposed to shower Peyton Manning with praise. That’s all fine and good, but I’m personally glad that DeAngelo Williams is here to balance things out with some raw pettiness (especially since much of it comes at the expense of Pete Prisco, wearer of weird shorts)....

Report: Peyton Manning, Who Can't Play Anymore, Won't Play Anymore

According to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, who presumably had to work for years just for the right to be the first person to tweet it, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will announce his retirement tomorrow. What awaits Manning in the football afterlife? Coaching? Ownership? Broadcasting? Diplomatically ...

Woody Paige: Peyton Manning Is Retiring [UPDATES]

The Denver Post’s Woody Paige, citing two unnamed sources, says Peyton Manning will announce his retirement this coming week....

Records: Trainer That Sued Peyton Manning May Have Reported Him For Academic Fraud In 1994

Manning contends that the incident was a mooning, while Naughright says he pushed his butt and genital...
