Great line from Chase Blackburn at his locker today. While Eli Manning was holding court with a load of television reporters talking, no doubt, about the Manning Bowl, a few of us beat guys were with Chase to talk about his knee. But we started out with a nod to the big goings on across the room.
Do you have a brother who plays football? we jokingly asked Blackburn. Did your father ever play in the league?
"No," he said and feigned shame. "No Super Bowl MVPs either. My family sucks."
