Eli Manning Accidentally Shoots Himself
Eli Manning Accidentally Shoots Himself with a Water Gun at Chuck E. Cheese
The New York Giants have been able to overcome a myriad of
distractions this season, thanks in no small part to the steady hand of
quarterback Eli Manning. But it is now Manning himself who has provided the
latest distraction after accidentally shooting himself in the thigh last
night at a Manhattan nightspot.
"Right now we are just concerned for Eli's well being," said
head coach Tom Coughlin. "It was really embarrassing for him. The gunshot
left a wet spot down the front of his pants, and all the other kids made fun
of him, thinking he peed his pants. So he's upset. He thought he had finally
gotten past the years of taunts from bullies."
Manning shot himself in the leg at approximately 5:25 p.m. when
his Super Soaker water gun slipped down his OshKosh B'Gosh overalls as he
climbed out of the ball pit, spraying his left thigh.
The quarterback's mother, Olivia Manning, was at the Chuck E.
Cheese with her son and fled the scene with him and disposed of the gun.
"We had to get out of there," said Mrs. Manning. "We had to
change his pants and it was time to go anyway - Eli gets overwhelmed after
an hour or so at Chuck E. Cheese because of all the flashing lights and
noise and all the other kids. And that gun had been leaking for a while. He
has plenty of others."
Security at the Chuck E. Cheese - namely the establishment's
security guard/janitor, Dale Huntley - said he was unaware of the incident.
"I didn't see or hear the gunshot," said Huntley. "But I was
keeping my eye on him when I wasn't emptying trash cans. He had the carriage
of pee-pant, and you have to make sure those kids don't pee in the ball pit
or it becomes very unsanitary."
Manning is currently in his mother's bed recuperating from the
traumatic incident, but the Giants expect him to be able to play on Sunday.
"He'll be okay," said Coughlin. "Usually when something bad
happens to him, all he needs is a cup of hot cocoa and his Elmo DVD. He's a
trooper."

RE: Eli Manning Accidentally Shoots Himself
Peyton is just amazing.. I really hope Eli doesn't get more rings than Peyton... I really like both of them though.. but i hate the giants and the colts and sorry jfunk i especially hate that pats..
Its a shame your QB got hurt though. You never want the best QB in the league to get hurt for the season. He is too much fun to watch play and he is so good at what he does, its a shame to see him not in there especially after a season like last.
