Take the majority of the New York Giants’ starting lineup still under contract, add two time MVP Super Bowl winner Eli Manning and the return of head coach Tom Coughlin, and the New York Giants have the recipe for another Super Bowl Championship next year.
Coughlin joked at a news conference that he was only 45, leaving little doubt that he wants to go for a third title next season. Giants chief executive John Mara said the team wants Coughlin back.
“He might be 65, but he’s got the energy of somebody quite younger than that,” Mara said.
Mara said of Eli Manning, “The more his back is against the wall, the better he performs. There is nobody I would rather have with the ball in his hands at the end of the game, with a chance to win, than Eli Manning.”
The Huffington Post reports:
While Manning also had his eyes on the future, he relished the team’s second championship in the last five seasons for a different reason.
“Each one is special,” said Manning, who appeared on the “Late Show with David Letterman” on Monday night. “Each one has special moments during the season and, obviously, different teammates. This year, I am just happy for a number of guys getting a championship.
“… To give them that opportunity for these next five or six months, we can say, `Hey, we are the best. We are the champs.’ That’s a pretty nice feeling.”
