The Gray Area, Chapter 35: The fall of Eli Manning (Audio)

As Week 10 approaches, Eli Manning sits in front of his locker preparing for another game in what has become the most miserable season of his career. Long gone are the days of playoff upsets and triumphs. Instead, he performs his function as the apathetic franchise quarterback of the proud new-aged laughingstock, New York Football Giants.

Loyal fans bought into the spin job GM Dave Gettleman sold them about Eli enjoying a resurgent season with the addition of rookie phenom Saquon Barkley to go along with improvements across the offensive line. But deep down, they knew that the absconded ex-coach Ben McAdoo was always right about Eli.
