EAST RUTHERFORD -- Eli Manning could have taken the label slapped on him by the governor of his adopted state as a compliment. After all, Chris Christie calling you a liar is sort of like Claude Monet calling you artist. He is a world-renown expert in the field.
But the Giants quarterback had hit his breaking point with a story that had, once again, dragged his reputation through the mud. That Christie -- of all people on the planet -- would decide to pile on without knowing all the facts was even more infuriating.
