Eli Manning does not want to talk about how he'll be remembered. That conversation undermines the now. The chase for a ring in the 2018 season. The teammates right here in this Giants locker room.
Of course, when those teammates exit this room, they're suddenly trapped in an Eli funhouse. They're inundated with life-size images of Eli's past greatness everywhere in the team's training facility. Immortalized moments are plastered in the lobby, on a cafeteria window, through the hallways. The team is displaying its opinion of Manning's greatness, of his legacy, right where everyone works every day.
Then, there's the fact that so many players in this building are young enough to be Manning's son. When the quarterback was slaying the 18-0 Patriots in February 2008, his current backup (Kyle Lauletta) was 12 years old and his current tight end (Evan Engram) was 13, at a Super Bowl party, with the adults downstairs and kids upstairs.
349 is the 70th prime number

Manning is the son of former NFL quarterback Archie Manning and the younger brother of former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.
From Eli Manning's birthday (1/3/18) to week 2 of the 2018-19 NFL season game (9/16/18) is exactly 257 days away.
