Giants Training Camp: What Should Eli Manning Do About His Hair?

Enough with the serious football stuff, at least for a little while. Eli Manning has a problem, and we need to help him out.

In the wake of Monday's ugly bloodletting, Eli has apparently had to partially shave his head and now the poor man hasn't the slightest idea what to do about his hair.

Post your ideas -- and photographic examples if you are so inclined -- in the comments.

Maybe I will forward your best suggestions over to the Giants. Gotta help the franchise QB any way we can, you know.

By the way, it will be back to serious stuff when I head over to Giants Training Camp at the University at Albany later today.

So ....

who is going to the first enterprising BBV’er to Photoshop Eli w/a Mohawk and post a picture?

Reverse Mohawk

We didn't even have a chance for the "perfect season", but we did have the perfect ending.

And he was starting to rock the Ole Miss frat boy hairdo again this season, too. If it had just been a little bit lower, the flop of hair would’ve hidden the whole thing.

As long as he doesn’t end up with a Tim Tebow, aka Friar Tuck look, I don’t care. :)

I second the Tim Tebow dew. If he does it right, it can look like a crown of thorns on top of his head with that little 3 in. stitched up gash right below.

He’ll look like the Messiah.

The cul-de-sac...

I think its a great idea. Just shave off the top, leave the sides like a balding man… (aka Jeff Garcia) The “cul de sac” is a great look.

Man, Eli. Seriously...Wow

That is one hell of a picture. I’m still amazed he’d even think to stand up and then jog over to the trainers with that much blood pouring out. Lay down, take it easy. LOL. Freaking heart of a warrior. Humble quiet kid, but HUGE balls.

Not exactly as iconic

As the Y.A. Tittle photo, but I’ll never knock his toughness. He’s already played with a roughed up shoulder during our Super Bowl year and he played through plantar fasciitis.

After what that guy went thru last season..I doubt anyone could question how tough he is..He just non-chalantly waved for a trainer..that man is tough as nails

An MMA style close shave

Just a little stubble. Maybe get a little ink up there next to the scar as a memento. “J-E-T-S S-U-C-K” perhaps.

The problem is unless he gets popped in the mouth as well, he’ll always have that goofy “Aw schucks” smile, which will completely offset any attempt to look bad ass.

We still don't want Phillip Rivers

So I hope Eli doesn’t go for the ‘American History X’ buzz cut that Rivers was sporting during during the rookie/QB portion of training camp.
