TO SIR WITH ELI…NOT HAPPENING

Al Thompson

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J – Davis Webb was a member of the Giants organization for just a few minutes when he received his first instructions from the team’s most prominent player.
Eli Manning called Davis soon after the Giants selected the University of California quarterback last week in the third round of the NFL Draft.
“I just wanted to welcome him to the team, let him know if he has any questions or needs anything in the next few days, I was here for him,” Manning said. “He responded to that with, ‘Yes, sir.’ I told him we were off to a bad start. Please do not refer to me as sir. I appreciate the manners, but we’re teammates. I was always taught the same thing. Anyone older than me, I have to call them sir. But hopefully, we straightened that out.”

Al Thompson

Training methods are not unlike politics. Many people have different opinions on what is the right way to plot a course for positive results.
Running a football team, though, is not a democracy. The head coach sets the rules on all strategies including how to prepare his team for the upcoming season.
