Eli Manning is a miracle worker. Sure, he was able to lead the Giants to an unexpected Super Bowl victory over Tom Brady & his undefeated Patriots. But we now know how truly magical the NY QB is - his sneakers helped bring together a pair of siblings that hadn’t seen each other in 45 years.
The HOBOKEN (NJ) REPORTER has the sole-ful tale of Tommy Morrissey, a local resident who was able to reunite with his long-lost sister - all due to Eli’s shoes. Read more…

Yes, ladies, it’s not just some joking with the paparazzi. The news is true - Eli Manning has officially tied the knot. The Super Bowl-winning QB has received another trophy, as Peyton’s li’l brother married college sweetheart Abby McGrew on Saturday.
(Guess the blue tint on the camera lens was in honor of the Giants)
The ceremony took place down in Baja, at some swanky resort in San Jose Del Cabo, Mexico. (Guess our Evite ended up in the spam folder.) It was nice of Eli to exchange vows in such a warm locale, especially after making Abby camp out on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field last January.
About 60 guests attended the “private” ceremony. But that didn’t stop the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS from snapping some pics! The wedding album starter set begins after the jump.

Eli Manning will be a spring bride, according to THE NEW YORK POST, which yesterday confirmed that Manning The Younger will wed longtime girlfriend Abby McGrew “sometime in the next few weeks.” Eli proposed to her a year ago, but she wanted to wait out the obviously inevitable Super Bowl victory before tying the knot.
“There had been much speculation that the ceremony would occur at the Brentwood United Methodist Church outside McGrew’s native Nashville after the two were spotted attending services inside. But when a license is issued in New York, the ceremony has to take place within the state for the marriage to be legally valid, according to the Office of the City Clerk.”

Some Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks work their way through the rubber chicken circuit and gain 20 lbs. Others take advantage of the opportunity to spread their seed, Johnny Appleseed-style, through the local model population. Not Eli Manning, though. How does he spend his spring of vindication as the Leader of the World Champions?
He shows up at a breakfast in Washington, D.C. to flog the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and dutifully answer the same questions repeatedly. Doesn’t he know that he doesn’t need the “honor” anymore of working with Denise Austin and Mary Lou Retton on pushing the American fat boulder uphill just to keep his name in the public eye?
