Everyone is shocked by the recent play and growth of New York Giants Quarterback Eli Manning in these NFL Playoffs. He has been Peyton Manning's kid brother for so long in our minds that we forgot that he could be good in his own right. The Giants may have forgotten it too until a month ago, when the switch turned on and out came the real Eli(?) A source close to the soon-to-be All-Pro Quarterback details for us the top 10 reasons why Eli Manning has suddenly gotten really, really good.

1. Puberty.

2. Asks his sweetheart to the prom, and she says yes (even giving Eli a kiss on the cheek).

3. Beats Big Brother Peyton for the first time at ping pong. This event is also directly related to Peyton losing his confidence, and playoff game to San Diego.

4. Giants Coach Tom Coughlin lets Eli sit at the adult table during pre-game meal versus the Patriots.

5. Father Archie acknowledges Eli once again as his biological Son.

6. Eli's real girlfriend turns out to be Jessica Simpson. Jessica was only hanging with Tony Romo to cause chaos in camp Cowboys (job well done, Jessica!) to help her man Eli. The couple plan to go to Mexico, but only AFTER the Super Bowl-good choice kids.

7. Jeremy Shockey begs forgiveness from Eli for calling him "Sissy" and "Daddy's Boy" for the past 4 years.

8. Starts eating his Wheaties.

9. Steals the Manning's "Mojo Machine" from Peyton.

10. Stops thinking so damn much and starts becoming the player the Giants drafted.
