About Jared Blank

Giants. Mets. Rangers. Knicks. U of Michigan Tool. APC. True Story: circa 2004 I meet Eli Manning at a signing at the Palisades Mall. Me: "Good luck this weekend E" (as if I've been friends with "E" since we were in Middle School.) Eli: "Thanks" (or something that sounded like that). Manning went out that weekend and went 17-37 162 yards 1 TD and 2 INT with a QB Rtg. of 45.1 in his first career NFL start (a loss to the Falcons). We haven't spoken since.
