It is 15 years and counting for the Giants, 15 years of giving thanks they fell so hard and so passionately for Eli Manning.
For 15 years, the Giants, from ownership on down, go to sleep knowing they will not be awakened by anything their franchise quarterback did or did not do in the wee hours of the morning. There was nary a concern Manning ever stepped onto the field and was less than 100 percent prepared. No one in the building ever worried how Manning would take to coaching or if he would show up one of his teammates on the field, in the locker room or in the media.
