Each year you are captain for your NFL a star on your captain's patch becomes gold. When your serve 5 years as a captain you have 4 gold stars and you get a gold c. This is called a full gold captains patch just like Eli has.
Eli Manning became the starting QB for the Giants in Game 11 of the 2004 season when he took over from Kurt Warner. He has started every game since then through the 2008 season.
According to Wikipedia Eli's final GPA was 3.44. According to Short-biographies.com Peyton's final GPA 3.66. Now, they both majored in different things. Peyton went with Arts(or something like that{check short-bio})--speech communication and minored in buisness; Eli majored in Buisness. And obviously, this was their college GPA, and not high school.
both 1 game this season he threw a interception with both hands lol i know this doesnt help u
The New York Giants played against the Indianapolis Colts on September 10, 2006 and the Colts won. So, Peyton did beat Eli.
No! Just google "Cooper Manning" for more info on the older brother.
Archie manning, the Mannings father, played football
NO.
Cooper Manning is the older brother of Peyton and Eli Manning.
BUT COOPER DID PLAY FOOTBALL. He was diagnosed with spinal stenosis in his freshman year of collage as ole miss and was unable to play football again.
Each star stands for one year of being a captain on that particular team. So if they have 2 stars, they have been a team captain for that team for 2 years, last year and this year.
The initiative has been in effect since 2007, the most gold stars that a captain can have right now is 3. Drew Brees & Carson Palmer are examples.
It's not clear why the NFL picked 4 stars-
Perhaps it's because they fit easily.
But a gold star is given for every year that the player is a captain. I do not know what will happen if someone is a captain for more than 4 years. Perhaps the color will change. In any case, as this is the first year of the patch, no one has more than one gold star.
According to Paul Lukas in an article in ESPN Uni Watch from 2007:
....team captains this year will be wearing a specialcaptain's patch on the upper-right chest area (as you can sort of seehere). The patches will be color-coordinated to match each jersey, and the gold star underneath the "C" marks the number of years that the player has been a captain under the league's new captaincy initiative.
Manning set his personal high with 6 interceptions against the San Diego Chargers on November 11, 2007.
During Eli Manning's 4 years at the University of Mississippi he had an outstanding record. However, the school did not win a national championship.
All Three. Archie Manning and his wife, Olivia, have three sons. Peyton is the QB of the Colts, Eli is the QB of the Giants, and Cooper used to play as a WR with his brother Peyton at their high school. He was an All-American and then his career ended when he was diagnosed with Spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal.
Yes he does, he resides there during the off-season.
wait until a few years after he retires and that thing will be worth more than Joe Montana'ssignature
Yes, in 2000 he was arrested for public intoxication. This was during his freshman year of college.
Right now Matt Shuab and Drew Brees are arguably better.
Yes, Eli manning was a Boy Scout. He has creditted the scouts with teaching him to always be prepared.
