Is there some (bad) history there? Does he always do that?
February 7th, 2012 at 6:43 PM ^
I love Manningham!!
February 5th, 2012 at 10:46 PM ^
He didn't graduate, did he? So he's a former U-M athlete. Not an alumnus.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:52 PM ^
You don't have to graduate to be an alumnus.
February 6th, 2012 at 7:48 AM ^
I'd like to kick you MGoKnowItAll's in the face.
February 7th, 2012 at 6:44 PM ^
thats not nice

I don't know what the deal is there. However I think that was a canned intro NBC has been using all season - I don't think it was done for the Super Bowl. The Dave Diehl/Chief Illini thing is also a repeat so I'm hoping Manningham only did it once
February 5th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
making maybe the biggest catch in the NFC championship game with his late slant for a TD also. So he came to play in the 2 biggest games of his young career.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
was awesome!!! Super mario!
February 5th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
Mario is just another example of the great football products of the University of Michigan!
February 5th, 2012 at 10:09 PM ^
he has a tendancy to run those plays out of bounds...per Collinsworth.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:54 PM ^
Was wrong on that. Mario left plenty of cushion between the sideline on that, and Eli just threw it a tad to the right. Neither is really at fault, maybe Eli, but Manningham ran a good route there. Collinsworth can eat it. He provides some good insight into the game, but more often spews out verbal diarrhea throughout a game. My humble opinion.
February 5th, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
I agree, his call that Mraio has poor fade routes is bull. Mario missed that first sideline pass by six inches. Bad fade running my ass, Collinsworth is bad but at least it wasn't Aikman or Buck. They are almost unwatchable. Loved it that that Mario made that catch. Michigan and the Giants baby!
February 6th, 2012 at 1:37 AM ^
somebody made a graphic. they had to use it. that was their opportunity. end of story.
February 5th, 2012 at 11:23 PM ^
If you're the guy who plays the sideline routes, you can't keep all of them in, but he's made a lot of them in the past. And some were as spectacular, though perhaps not so important or widely watched.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:09 PM ^
Congrats to Mario!
As an Eagles fan I can't stand the Giants. Can't believe it, Brady's recievers lost him that game. If Gronk's ankle isn't messed up maybe he has the leap power to get to that ball....
February 6th, 2012 at 6:38 AM ^
I feel like the last play is insignificant with a healthy Gronk. Obviously it's just speculation, but I think the Pats win outright with him 100%. The receivers lost this game.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:10 PM ^
I was watching a Giants game earlier this season, and Manningham listed his high school instead of Michigan when the roster was announced. Any insight on that?
February 5th, 2012 at 10:14 PM ^
My only insight is that he did that tonight too. Hater? Hater.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:16 PM ^
I was watching a Super Bowl tonight and Manningham listed his high school instead of Michigan when the roster was announced. Any insight on that?
But for seriously, I think he does that every game. Not sure why though. It was discussed in the open thread earlier.
February 5th, 2012 at 11:40 PM ^
Maybe he lists his high school because it's the last school he graduated from?
Or maybe, Braylon Edwards was his idol while at Michigan, and he lists his high school to be different, like when Edwards would say, "Lloyd Carr's University of Michigan"
I don't approve of him not saying Michigan. Let's get him on the board to explain himself.
February 6th, 2012 at 3:28 AM ^
Braylon didn't say "Lloyd Carr's University of Michigan" to be different. He said it to be a dick.
February 6th, 2012 at 7:36 AM ^
aquaman can get an interview with him!
February 5th, 2012 at 10:21 PM ^
No insight from me other than I was pissed when he did it before. He's done it since he got in the league. Maybe he's feeling somewhat guilty for bolting Michigan when they needed him badly? Never graduated, so he doesn't claim the awesomeness that is being a Michigan alum?
February 5th, 2012 at 10:39 PM ^
I think they might be using the tape he made in 2009. They don't make a fresh recording for every game. Does anyone know if Braylon Edwards clip this season was still "Lloyd Carr's University of Michigan"? I think there were some other players who recognized their high schools instead of UM in 2009.
February 5th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
and i thin L Woodley, did too, but not 100% on that - am 100% that Harris gave a shout-out to his High School.
Still can't believe Pats lost. Hopefully this pushes Tom and the team to push themselves harder to be in the same place next year - whos' in the AFC, really?
Steelers - tough, but not insurmountable
Ravens - D is tough, but aging, and Flacco is flaccid
Texans - Tough but but beatable
Bengals - Wild card, but Pats can beat them
Jets and Bufffalos - Nope, Sanchez is a joke and Buffalos aren't complete
February 5th, 2012 at 10:10 PM ^
Collinsworth is eating crow right now.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:12 PM ^
Big congrats to Mario, but I'm not sure I would call that one of the greatest catches of super bowl history... Tyree's from 4 years ago and, though I hate to admit it, Holmes' in the steelers second super bowl were probably better.
Mad props to Mario nonetheless for an incredible catch
February 5th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
In my biased opinion the only thing that makes the Holmes play possibly any better is because it was a TD. The 2 catches were virtually identical IMO
February 5th, 2012 at 10:11 PM ^
One hell of a catch....but everyone is only talking about how "masterful" Eli was
February 5th, 2012 at 11:35 PM ^
Eli was talking about how masterful Mario's catch was. (Probably used another word, but he gave him credit, enthusiastically.)
February 5th, 2012 at 11:48 PM ^
Well I'm sure Eli is giving him props, but I was talking about the Media in general. On ESPN all they've been doing is talking about how great Eli is and stuff like that
February 5th, 2012 at 10:14 PM ^
Great catch and good win by the Giants. I was rooting for the Pats all the way, so I'm a little bummed, but he represented us well. Go blue!
February 5th, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^
Manning's corvette....Can you imagine if Brady would've won? Corvette with Gisele in it!
February 5th, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^
Gisele has enough money to buy a thousand Corvettes...how about Gisele with a checkbook? Now, that's enticing!
February 5th, 2012 at 10:31 PM ^
I think my boy Tommy is doing ok with his own checking account. He could buy a corvette for each member of the o-line & not sweat it...
February 6th, 2012 at 12:01 AM ^
sorry if this is getting off-topic, but I had to look up Tom & Gisele's net worth. I was surprised to see that Gisele comes out on top:
Net worth Gisele Bundchen: $150M
Net worth Tom Brady: $100M
(maybe he can catch up if she stops working & he plays as long as Favre)
February 5th, 2012 at 10:16 PM ^
Great, great catch, might not be the popular opinion but Eli put that ball right on the button.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
I went to the University of Michigan, not to Warren G. Harding High School.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:41 PM ^
Has he been back since he left? Bad feelings?
February 5th, 2012 at 10:17 PM ^
Does anyone know why Mario mentioned his high school instead of Michigan when the rosters were announced?
February 5th, 2012 at 10:18 PM ^
February 5th, 2012 at 10:24 PM ^
That's me, too. I root for the Lions, Browns and Patriots. No one else.
February 5th, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
here:
Great catch. Still disappointed the Pats couldn't reel in a bunch of decent throws when it counted, though.
