And in the blink of an eye

I could sit here all morning sharing the highlights and great memories from the career of Eli Manning, but instead I will share a simple observation.......it has become increasingly clear that Eli is and will be the LAST player I truly care about.......I don’t go to many games of any sport anymore, I watch games But only as a distraction..... I follow sports through the papers and internet.....I continue to root for my favorite teams....but the older I get, the less invested I am in the games..... I loved Eli.....was proud of him and stood up for him in barroom discussions.....I took it personal when people tried to put him down or ridicule him......he was a Giant on and off the field......I suppose it happens to everyone at some point, but I kind of hate the modern athletes....I don’t see them as worthy of respect or deserving of admiration.....now that Eli is gone, so too is my fanatic support and concern for the team....any team.....Thanks Eli....there wasn’t a single day or moment that I didn’t want you as my Quarterback.....you can join George Thomas Seaver, Dave Debusschere and Mike Richter in my personal hall of fame.
