Eli Manning Jersey Retirement and Super Bowl musings...

 Eli Manning ring of honor induction / jersey retirement 9/26/21


The Giants announced they will retire Eli's jersey on
9/26/21

That's 38 weeks after his birthday,
and 3 months 8 days (38) before his birthday

Double 38 and that is so significant because as we posted back when
they benched him and announced his era was over...

"Giants" = 38

"Elisha Nelson Manning" = 308

The benching came on a date with 38 numerology
when Eli was 38 years old

in his two SBs he lead the Giants to 38 total points

His final SB totaled to 38 points

In his final playoff game they lost to 38 points
(13-38... his birthday 1/3 to his age at the time of the benching 38)

his start before the benching was vs BUF
in his first start vs BUF the Giants scored 38

their next game after the benching was vs TB and he was done as starter...
in his previous and final start vs TB the Giants won w/38 points...

...his one playoff game vs TB totaled to 38

he had 380 all time TDs at the time of the benching

his final game was at home in
"MetLife" = 38

The jersey retirement will be during a a game vs Atlanta
He threw the ball 38 times in his final game against Atlanta

Thanks to StayWokeSports for the following:
Eli's 38th win was a 38 point victory

Eli's dad lost his final appearance to 38 points

And Eli was drafted 83 days after SB 38



AND NOW they are going to retire his jersey
exactly 38 weeks after his birthday!
and 3 months 8 days (38) before his birthday!



C'mon!


Also...

26

So they are retiring his jersey on the 26th...

"Eli" = 26

the benching came on a date with 26 numerology
on the 260th day of the year
...

...20 weeks and 6 days (26) after draft day/drafting Jones (his replacement)

in his final game before the benching he had 26 completions.

in the NFC Championship games for both of Eli's SBs
the games went to overtime and the total scores were
43 and 37...
or the 14th prime and the 12th prime
14+12= 26...

26th prime is 101

"Elisha Nelson Manning" = 101


AND NOW they are retiring his jersey on the 26th!

...and like we said the ceremony is during a game versus Atlanta
and his one playoff game versus Atlanta totaled to 26!

Oh and the ceremony will be 26 days before the anniversary of his
final game versus Atlanta (the third anniversary, he was born on the third)




210

So they'll retire his jersey 2 years and 10 days (210)
after they benched him and announced his era was over

He famously started 210 consecutive games, second all time to Favre.



93

The jersey retirement will be 93 weeks after his actual final game
(after they benched him he came back and played a couple games
at the end of the season)

his replacement,
"Daniel Stephen Jones" = 93



Atlanta

As we said the retirement ceremony and induction into the ring of honor
will be during a game versus Atlanta...

His final game against Atlanta totaled to 43 points
and he will be the 43rd Giant inducted into the ring of honor

Also, in his regular season career versus Atlanta he had 172 completions
"Eli Manning" = 172




Anyway, that 38 is way too wild. C'mon.



As for the Giants. For years I've thought of this...

They won their first SB in SB 21...
then 4 years later they won SB 25...

...then 10 years later they lost SB 35...

Then they won SB 42 (21 doubled)...
then 4 years later they won SB 46...

...so maybe ten years later they lose SB 56?

Also I've discovered that we're currently on a pattern of a
team that never won the SB before winning it every four years...

SB 44 the saints won for the first time

SB 48 the seahawks won for the first time

SB 52 the eagles won for the first time

SB 56 ...

And I've looked at the entire SB era and a pattern like that is rare.

So the teams that have yet to win a SB are:

Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Houston, Jacksonville, Tennessee,
Chargers, Minnesota, Detroit, Atlanta, Carolina, and Arizona

Of the AFC teams I'd say Buffalo, Cleveland, and Tennessee seem
ready, especially Buffalo and Cleveland.

And if it ain't the Giants then maybe Minnesota or Arizona.

But anyway I'd say Buffalo or Cleveland beat the Giants in SB 56.

Cheers!
