Giants quarterback issues rallying call

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has delivered a ‘loud and clear’ message to his teammates saying they need to approach the remaining days before the Super Bowl with a business like mentality.

Unlike a number of his colleagues, Manning has played in the Super Bowl where he was the MVP as the Giants beat the New England Patriots 17-14 and has told them they must leave no stone unturned as they look to once again defeat the Patriots when the two sides meet at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on February 5th. Anyone looking at the Super Bowl 2012 betting will know the size of the task facing them.

The playmaker is known throughout the NFL as someone who likes to let his actions do the talking. This means whenever he does make a speech, everyone takes notice and knows he means everything he says.

“We got an excellent message from Eli,” safety Antrel Rolle said. “It was very well-needed. For players like myself who have been to a Super Bowl, it is still great to hear someone speak with that kind of leadership. And you know, Eli doesn’t say much. When he says it, he means it and you know it is coming from the heart.”

The 31-year-old has become notably more vocal this season and years of being reluctant to speak to the press. At the beginning of the season he was if saw himself as an elite quarterback and immediately said ‘yes’. This has led to his performances coming under even more scrutiny this term but he says it’s not something he regrets. Fans of Betfair NFL action should bear this in mind.

“I thought I gave an honest answer,” he said. “I didn’t regret it at the time or think anything of it. Obviously it has been made into a big deal and I can’t always control that. My job is to play the game, it’s your job to talk and make up stories.”
