Why does everybody hate Eli Manning so much?

Envy. Eli, is clean. they don't have anything on Him. when You come that close to perfection, people start to get jealous. as far as respect, He should already have it after, leading His team to a SUPER BOWL victory. I have been an Eli fan since, His college days. You will probably still hear the occasional jealous comment here and, there but, as far as Eli goes, He has already cemented His place in NEW YORK sports history. I wouldn't worry about CHARGER fans too much. they now realize that the trade, was an awful mistake on their part.
