Eli Manning/Steve Francis

Robert Gallery didn't want to play for San Diego either?

Perhaps players like Francis, Manning, Elway, Lindros and other pouters should strive to be merley mediocre/good. That way thier draft status will drop and they will subsequently be picked by better teams. Eli goes to Indy and never plays, Steve Francis goes to (then Phoenix) and sits behind Kidd. Lindros goes to Detroit and only plays on the "I am a puss line" with Hull. Elway gets drafted by the 49ers and we never have to hear about some gut wrenching 4th quarter comeback.

The issue is great players in the draft are going to go to sub-par teams but want to go to playoff teams. Sounds like a case of having cake and wanting to eat it too. At least in Manning's case, he gets to. Prick

The mannings weren't a class act at all. I think anyone who does this deserves to have a stroke on the field and end up eating through a tube. Maybe then they'll appreciate how good they have it to just make it to that level.

Ungrateful bastards. If i was pissing on one of them to put out a fire, then found out they did this, id ask someone for a match to relight 'em.

It'd be poetic justice for eli to go down with a career ending injury at the 'murph'.

Another great scenario is he becomes the latest version of rick mirer. Who is actually, and amazingly, still on a roster.

Still hoping for the stroke, though.

Writing that post disqualifies you from knowing anything at all about class.

Writing that reply disqualifies you from knowing anything about tongue in cheek overexaggeration. Lighten up.

I still think the mannings are pieces of crap.

and you're still wrong

[bernie]

So you think they're great for how they acted? Whining and pouting...

I guess you'll be first in line to buy his jersey. Along with all the other 'pros' who put on a display like that.
