Eli didn't look happy

[minniecarousel]

sheesh! There's a shot of the Manning family box at the SuperBowl & everyone is cheering at the moment they realize that the Broncos are going to win. All but Eli - he looked like he was going to puke! Now his brother has 2 Super Bowl, like him!

It's one moment, but the internet thinks its cracked the case. I'll leave them to work it out.

I think a bit much is being made of that photo. I don't for a minute believe he was unhappy for his brother.

Eli Manning ALWAYS looks like that. People are reading way too much into that.

 

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

Google Image search his faces. He looks lost 75% of the time.

As I said in the Super Bowl thread, I really can't believe the big deal being made out of this. It's one moment. I know I read that the family was doing all sorts of things to keep the mojo going - and one of them was being still. It could be possible that was what he was doing. Or maybe the fact that he knew that things change quickly so he didn't want to celebrate too soon. Or maybe he was nervous for his brother. Or maybe he was remembering the stress of playing in a Super Bowl.

Sheesh. I think this is a case of making drama out of nothing.

Yep.

 

[Allons-y!]

I'd hate to think that obnoxious busybodies would assume they know so much about me based on such a brief snapshot into my life.

I don't really think anyone is making a big deal out of it, or really believes it's true. It's just a funny video/meme like so many others out there. I know when I put it up on my Facebook it was just because I found it humorous.

I have seen both. People making it a big deal and people laughing it off. The people laughing it off are the ones who KNOW that he generally looks like that.

As much crap that I put up with being a Pats fan, it's nice to have the spotlight on someone else for a change.

I really dislike Tom Brady but I actually felt bad when he was boo'd during the MVP Ceremony. He wasn't playing. No need for the hate.

I'm not okay with everyone picking on my Eli...

Double Ditto.

As I said on the Super Bowl thread, he also was possibly having flashbacks of the Giants closing minutes blown leads this year. (I know I was, kept worrying that suddenly Panthers offense was going to remember how to play.)

 

[bookgirl]

Honestly I too thought "he always looks like that" but you got to figure he was enough of a competitor to have wished he was the one out there not sitting in a seat watching two other QB's battle it out on the field. I'd look a little bummed as well.

Of course I have a classic RBF, so I kinda always look like that. HaHa

 

[ndelaware]

I think Eli knows, as much as anyone, that the game was not over at that point.

 

[manning]

All the over long passes where with balls filled with helium.

Huh?

 

[manning]

Huh?

Oh, come on it's a joke. remember the under inlated balls

 

[mom2rtk]

I prefer to think that as someone who had been in his brother's place, he was focused on the stress of the moment, and about the next play.

I got that, but I just honestly couldn't quite figure out what you were trying to type. Autocorrect, maybe?
