Manning Takes Place Among Elite QBs
Take that, Brady. You too, Peyton. Eli Manning is the big man in the NFL after one-upping Tom Brady and leading the New York Giants to a 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Sunday’s Super Bowl – in older brother Peyton’s house, at that. Just as Manning did four years ago when the Giants ruined New England’s perfect season, he guided them 88 yards to the decisive touchdown, which the Patriots didn’t contest as Ahmad Bradshaw ran 6 yards with 57 seconds left. Patriots coach Bill Belichick reasoned the Giants would run the clock down and kick a short field goal, so he gambled by allowing the six points. The gamble failed. And now Manning not only has stamped himself as the elite quarterback he claimed to be when the season began – in the same class as Brady – he’s beaten the Patriots in two thrilling Super Bowls/Associated Press.

Question: Should the Super Bowl be moved to Saturday, so you don't have to go to work the next day?
