Super Bowl champion New York Giants get their day at the White House

By Richard K. Barry

On Friday, my beloved Super Bowl Champion New York Giant got their day in the sun with President Obama at the White House. Such visits have become a ritual, of course. Must be a great day for the team.

Among the president's comments was this:

I would just advise the sports writers out there the next time Eli says he thinks he is an elite quarterback, you may just want to be quiet. Eli wasn't alone of course. Justin Tuck got to the QB, Victor Cruz scored and salsa'd. Mario Manningham gets his feet in bounds for the biggest catch of his life. Nobody was perfect but everybody did their job.

On that point about Eli being an elite quarterback, let's put that one to rest.

How many weeks until camp opens?
