Sixteen years of 10: A tribute to New York Giants QB Eli Manning

Error 0:

A tribute to Eli Manning, the greatest quarterback to ever step foot on a football field in the history of the New York Giants franchise.

I was seven years old when I went to my first New York Giants game. August of 2004 — to be exact — at Giants Stadium. It was a preseason game, particularly the first home exhibition match for a then-rookie quarterback.

A few months prior, the Giants executed a draft-day trade with the San Diego Chargers. San Diego ended up with Philip Rivers, while Big Blue ended up with a young kid out of Ole Miss.
