New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hosted Saturday Night Live last night. Was he funny? At times, yes. Was he hilarious? No. To be honest, he wasn't given a whole lot to work with. It's been years since I watched 'SNL,' and now I see why. The show isn't very good.
Mike Farley of Big Blue View offers a full review of Eli's performance.

"I wanna show the UFC it's about time [they put together] the flyweights and show the fans that we belong here. Some of the fans are like, ‘Ah, I only want to see the heavyweights, these little midgets.' But we were going at it. Who knows how things play out? Two fights down the road I could be fighting for a title. I don't want to look too far ahead, I have less than 10 pro fights so I'll take it slow and whatever the UFC wants to give me."
