I told you so
This really isn’t my nature, but I’ve been doing radio with Jim Traber for three months, so some of this can’t be helped. But I told you so.
When it comes to Eli Manning, I told you so. I told you eight days ago, in previewing the Giants-Cowboys playoff game, that New York had a big-time quarterback, but his name and his office address — Peyton’s little brother, playing in the Big Apple — kept that news on the Q.T.
But Eli is only 27 — just turned 27 — and already is an accomplished quarterback. The only knock on Eli was lack of playoff success, and when I wrote the column two weeks ago, Eli had just won in Tampa Bay. Now he’s won in Dallas and Green Bay.
The Giants knew all along they had their franchise quarterback. Now they know their franchise quarterback is a big-time franchise quarterback. He’s not Tom Brady. Not Peyton. But Eli Manning ranks with any other quarterback in the league.

It is special that you have picked up on the Traber habit of, “I told you so”, let’s hope he picks up some of your good habits. But I doubt it, because his ego is too big for that to happen. Next you will be saying, ” listen to me, listen to me” ( I am the important one here, no one else counts). Eli is making a lot of people look foolish, I hope it continues and they make New England a loser. Hope springs eternal!!!
