Good Morning, New York Giants Fans!

Don’t let Eli Manning’s facial expressions fool you, he’s quite the prankster in the locker room, but this time around, he was the victim of a serious act of violence by Phil Simms.

Simms, the former quarterback for the Giants, decided to take Eli’s shoes for a spin:

“Hey Eli, I needed a pair of shoes so I borrowed your white tennis shoes. Thanks, Phil Simms.”

Wow, he took Manning’s shoes, as if he hasn’t stolen $50 million over the last two seasons from the Giants and can’t afford to purchase any more. Maybe, it was the absolute whiteness of the shoes that made them so significantly special.

Let’s be honest, that might have been the worst prank of all time, but hey, it made the news, right?

Am I being too harsh? Absolutely, but I’m tired of waiting for football. We are in withdrawal stages, the world is ending, only football can save us.

Anyway…
