Eli-Romo Debate

Who doesn’t like playoffs and division play over regular season and personal achievements? Well, besides the trolls?

That was an eye-opening article

Eli’s been MUCH better in the playoffs, and that includes the debacle against the Panthers in his first playoff appearance. And Eli never fumbled the potential game winning snap on a shoo-in field goal either.

I do think Romo’s a darn good QB, although those numbers sure do make him seem like a bit of a compiler: the type of guy who feasts on weak defenses in unimportant games but then folds when the chips are down. It’ll be interesting to see which of them has the better season this year.

It has to be said...

Eli > Romo

Jessica Simpson > Abby McGrew

On looks

Yes, the nod to Jess, she is one of the hottest women God ever put together

But as someone you are going to have to talk to (at some point) in the course of a marriage…..Abby can’t possibly be as dumb as Jess

If you ask me who I have the one nighter with, Jess wins in a landslide

If you ask me who I marry, its Abby

Giants fan from the womb to the tomb

Probably right

But, you know, it’s not like Abby is hard to look at.

Agreed

Abby is relatively hot….......and yet – we’re talking about the QB of the NEW YORK Giants! The Super Bowl MVP!

This guy should be hanging out with models every night!

Although it certainly is both heartwearming and completely within Eli’s character to be married to his college sweetheart.

In fact, I’m on to something here…...

I’d compare their respective women to their careers in that regard: Romo’s girl (and career) has been very glitzy and headline grabbing though with no substance whereas Eli’s career (and wife), while not as glamorous, has plenty of substance (4-2 record in the playoffs, comebacks a-plenty, a Super win, a Super Bowl MVP, etc.).

That is

a very apt comparison.

I've said this before

but I’ve always found Jessica Simpson to be very overrated in the looks department. I am willing to bet a decent amount of money that she doesn’t look half as good in person as she does in pictures and on tv, with all the makeup and whatnot. Give me Abby, who’s pretty hot despite never being done up by professional makeup people in any of the pictures I’ve seen of her.
