Manning to Miss Game Vs. Eagles

Uncelebrated Giants' Quarterback Eli Manning will miss Saturday's playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to an incident in his suburban New Jersey home early this morning.

Manning had woken up at 4am in his over-sized crib, complaining of pain from some new teeth coming in. He left his crib and crawled downstairs to the kitchen to heat up some milk but on his way to the fridge, he soiled himself and sustained a horrendous case of diaper rash.

"It stings like the dickens", remarked Manning. "I've soiled myself plenty of times, but this time it really burned my cheeks. There's no way I can play on Saturday. No way."

Manning had to sit out a preseason game this year due to, what he described as, the inability to stop crying. Prior to that, he missed several games while at Ole Miss because of the sniffles.
