There's a good feature on Ole Miss quarterback Eli "Easy" Manning in Friday's USA Today. Eli doesn't get caught up in the hysteria and hype of being the son of Ole Miss' most famous player, Archie. Highlights of the article include:
— When Eli Manning saw his father's statistics in the Ole Miss media guide, "I was not overly impressed."
— Eli Manning posed for the cover of GQ's sports issue. He was not interested in going to New York "to make a picture," but when he learned that some Ole Miss coeds were interns in the Big Apple, Manning changed his mind. "I don't think the picture was the most fun thing he did during the week in New York — at least his credit card didn't indicate that," Archie Manning says.
