Eli Manning says he has “no general thoughts’’ about purple, but his longtime teammate, Victor Cruz, pretty much is convinced it is not his quarterback’s favorite color.
“I think that’s what it might be,’’ Cruz on Wednesday told The Post. “It’s not mine, I can tell you that. I’m just joking around. Statistically it is what it is.’’
Statistically, what it happens to be, mostly, is a disaster for Eli Manning, who is preparing for a Monday Night Football meeting with the unbeaten Vikings at their new U.S. Bank Stadium. It will be start No. 8 for Manning against the team that gives him more trouble than any other.
