Eli Manning gets his face cut open

Whether you're in the "nobody wants to see that" or the "F the Giants" camp, you'll want to take note of this hit. (video)

Eli bumps into Brandon Jacobs, then gets blind sided, then gets his face cut open in a preseason game.

At Big Blue View, scroll down to the 8:57 mark to see the horrified reactions of Giants fans. (Actually some of them kind of liked it).

I can't imagine our reaction if this happened to Kolb.

Discuss.

Generally speaking, I don’t like seeing players get hurt. And I’m not saying I’m enjoying this…

But does anyone else still have trouble finding sympathy for him since that shit he pulled on draft day? I’d like to forget it, but every time I hear of misfortune to him, I kinda shrug.

2010-11 Predictions:

Kevin Kolb will go to the probowl and complete >65% of passes.

Jeremy Maclyn will have more receptions than Miles Austin & Steve Smith

Graham will have the starting LDE spot tied up by week 5, win ROTY, and have >10 Sacks

11-5 finish.

I guess I don't wish for bodily injury necessarily ...

… but yeah, I’m not a fan of J.D. Drew, Aaron Crow, Eli or Steve Francis precisely because of the bigger-than-the-game crap they pulled. I guess over time you could outplay the persona you originally came into the league with, but as long as they never let those four yokels who booed McNabb at the draft off the hook, we can hold our grudges as long as we want too. Two wrongs DO make a right.

I love FreeBradshaw’s reaction… “What the fuck?… Eli Manning bleeds?”

haha, hilarious. I don’t agree with the subtle Chuck Norris comparison, but it was an excellent reaction.

Couple random thoughts…

- Buckle your damn chin strap!! His helmet was already half way off when Jacobs ran into him, we all know he is a big boy but it didnt take much
- You have to wonder if/how this is going to effect him the rest of the year. He needed 12 stiches to close the cut and how is this thing going to get a chance to heal if its anywhere near his helmet line. Remember Jon Ritchie??
