Turns Out That Eli Manning Is A Lax Bro. Which I Have No Idea How To Feel About
Sidney Crosby. Eli Manning. Flo from Progressive. Those are my 3 enemies in life. The 3 people in this world who I hate the most. While I respect the accomplishments that all 3 have achieved in life, I still hate them with a fiery passion. But now I find myself in quite a predicament. A conundrum of proportions I am incapable of handling. Eli Manning. One of my archenemies, promoting the sport which I have dedicated my life to growing. Does this make us friends? Does this make us allies? Does this mean that Eli Manning and myself are on the same team here? It’s all a very confusing time.
What I do know is that Eli Manning looks like a Grade A drill kill. The kind of guy who suits up for practice and you think to yourself “damn, this kid must be good”. He has size, he has athleticism, he looks the part in pads. Downhill dodger with a high-to-low cannon on the run. But the moment he gets the ball in his stick it’s over. Ball is ending up on the turf and you realize it was all a ruse. Kid sucks and you just got roped in to recruiting a kid who is a turnover machine because you only saw his highlight tape and didn’t live scout him. A tale as old as time.
Sidenote #1: Would appreciate some backstory on this. What is Eli Manning doing with the Duke lacrosse teams? What’s the connection here? What am I missing?
Sidenote #2: totally unrelated but Syracuse played at Hobart yesterday. Under the radar one of the longest rivalries in lacrosse history. This was their 103rd meeting. So when you play each other 103 times and Syracuse has won about 100 of those games, clearly they aren’t going to have a ton of fans in Hobart. Especially not the current students.
