Manning Looks Good in Giants Home Opener

Despite throwing an interception, Eli Manning looked really good in the Giants home opener yesterday. His uniform was especially clean and his shirt never came un-tucked, unlike some other Giants that I won’t deign to even name. Obviously, he’s been training hard in the off-season, because he even looked good from behind when he was in the huddle.

Manning looked good on the side-line as well. Instead of wearing his helmet all the time-- which looks weird and unfriendly-- or showing the television audience his helmet-hair, he wore a baseball cap with a crisp bill and a Giants logo. That looks good. Not that his helmet-hair looks bad: he’s wearing his hair short and neat, and he doesn't sport any “dreadlocks.” I hope he will look this good all season, and will not start to get bags under his eyes, like Troy Aikman. You’d think you’d be more nervous if you were playing in the game, rather than just offering color commentary, but Eli Manning certainly looked better than Troy Aikman this Sunday.
