It sure has been a busy month for the Giants Eli Manning. First his contract was "bought-back" earning him an additional $5 million and that was followed up with a marriage proposal to longtime girlfriend Abby McGrew.So how did the star quarterback propose? In the same way he lives his life and plays football; a non-flashy, low-key, quiet kind of way.
"It was really low-key - it happened at home at a very unexpected moment," says a source. "It was so Eli - casual, no-frills, so in his nature."Although the action itself wasn't flashy, the ring apparently was. But you know the saying, you can't put a price tag on love -- and I'm sure that extra $5 million didn't hurt. Either way, McGrew said yes and Eli will now be preparing for married life.
I hope for his sake he has some good lawyers and she signs a well-written prenup. The last thing another New York Giants star needs is a public divorce filled with mud slinging and an empty wallet. All jokes aside, I wish the two well.
And by the way, his girlfriend is not who you might think.
