GOOD GAME is a wrap! Grateful for the opportunity to create and executive produce through Walk Swiftly Productions a show for the ol "alma mater." ESPN was awesome to work with on this docuseries... I describe it as "Hard Knocks" for gaming, with a lotta cool information about esports sprinkled in. If you (or your kids) play video games or you wanna gain a better understanding about why esports is a global phenomenon, hope you'll check it out! Post TV-airdates, you can find all 4 episodes in the ESPN app. Just search for "GOOD GAME" in the video section and it'll pop right up. Here's the teaser video!

December 18, 2004. I was on the sidelines for the first clash between the Class of '04’s top signal callers. Ben Roethlisberger’s Steelers edged the Giants en route to the AFC title game, but we got a glimpse that day of Eli Manning’s potential. He looked crisp and confident, the beneficiary of a shifted commitment to the parts of Big Blue’s playbook with which he was most comfortable.
.
What impressed me most, though, was our postgame chat in the bowels of Giants Stadium. Eli was part “Gosh golly, we were so close,” part staunch accountability for where he coulda been better. And that’s been Eli’s modus operandi for 15 years. Never too high. Never too low. Always said and did what was best for the team... sadly, an increasingly novel concept in 2019.
.
Two Super Bowl titles, two Super Bowl MVPs and a whole bunch of ups and downs later (in part, due to suspect talent around him at times), it appears the second Manning will step aside. To know Eli was the youngest of Archie’s three extraordinarily gifted boys speaks volumes. Any of you who grew up in the shadow of older, successful siblings knows how challenging that can be.
.
Is Eli... Peyton? No. But being Top 10 in career passing is nothing to sneeze at. And be rest assured Dan Marino would gladly swap out up some of his Hall of Fame stats for one of Eli’s rings.
.
For the naysayers who wanna minimize Eli’s role in the championships with chants of “defense”... the defense didn’t miraculously escape New England’s pass rush to connect with David Tyree’s helmet. The defense didn’t hit Mario Manningham with the bomb that tee’d up the 2nd title, either. And, PS- the Pats ripped off 17 straight, at one point, in Super Bowl 46, against said defense.
.
We knew this day would come eventually. Even the most elusive QBs can't evade Father Time. But I, for one, will always appreciate not just the player that was Eli Manning, but the human who represented the NFL as well as anyone who has ever graced the game.
