Legendary New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is known for his calm demeanor under pressure and his quick wit off the field. Recently, Manning found himself the target of playful banter from former teammate Shaun O’Hara, who publicly labeled him the “worst alumni golfer” among Giants stars.
It all started when O’Hara, who played center for the Giants during Manning’s tenure, took a jab at Manning’s golf skills. It turns out that O’Hara made the comment during a Giants alumni event. Manning took it in a sportive manner as he pulled in Richie Seubert.
“I’m the worst alumni golfer? Worse than Richie Seubert? No one can be worse than Richie. Shaun has got much better at his golf game. He was the slowest golfer in this history, not just alumni Giants, I’m talking about ever,” Eli Manning said.
As for Saun O’Hara, he says that Manning plays more, and he should be better. He mentioned that he has his mind on the golf course, but not on the football field.
“Eli does play a lot more golf than I do, so he should be better because of the reps. I can rattle him. Eli, on the football field, unflappable. On the golf course, I own his mind,” O’Hara said.
Eli Manning Offers His Support To Jaxson Dart
The Giants acquired Jaxson Dart and hope to turn things around this season. Dart is going to carry a burden for the team as pressure could mount on the QB anytime. However, he has one of the best former Giants stars to help him out. Manning offered his support to Dart, saying he is just one call away.
“I’ve told him, hey, I’m here to help in any way. I’m a phone call away, a text away, but I’m not getting in the way. You got to figure out, this is your journey, this is your deal. But if there’s anything you need, happy to be here,” Eli Manning said.
The former Giants star further mentioned that he was impressed by Dart’s performance in the past.
“I’ve been to some practices, and I’ve known Jaxson for the last three years, since he’s been at Ole Miss and gotten to watch his career. So I’ve been just impressed with Jaxson, because I’ve seen him get better every single year,” Manning continued.
Dart is fortunate to get advice from one of the best former NFL players, Eli Manning. With some guidance from Manning, Dart should certainly improve his performance.
