A Manning quarterbacking in the Super Bowl ~ and it's Eli!

Who'd of thunk it ?

One of my son's buddies in NYC, another twentysomething New Orleans kid, has been boasting for years that he had caught more passes from Eli Manning than anyone else in New York. That"s because he was the star pass-catching end on the St. George's Episcopal School sixth-grade team when Eli was throwing. (Eli spent just a year or two at that school before transferring back to Newman, the K-12 school where all three Manning brothers had outstanding high school sports careers.)

If Burris or Toomer hasn't already surpassed this kid's total number of receptions from Eli, one or both will probably do so soon ~ maybe in Arizona, two weeks from now...
