Will it be a Giant day for Eli Manning?

Hoboken's own Eli Manning hopes to lead Big Blue to a victory today over the Packers at Lambeau Field, but to do so he'll have to have ice in his veins. The game time temperature is supposed to be close to 0, and if there's a nice breeze, the wind chill could be in the negative teens. And you thought the Hoboken waterfront was cold today - brrr.

Here are the latest stories from the tabloids about Mile Square Manning.

The New York Post says Eli asked his fiancee, Abby McGrew, to brave the cold and sit in the stands, rather than in a luxury suite.

Eli's oldest brother, Cooper Manning - why don't the Jets sign him to a contract, just for the heck of it? - told the Post that Miss McGrew usually sits in the stands, but on the rare occasion she's been in a luxury box, the Giants have lost.

"Abby almost always sits in the stands, but I guess once or twice she was invited to sit in a suite and things didn't end well," Cooper told the Post.

"In the spirit of superstition, Eli told her, 'I don't care if it's 4 degrees in Green Bay, you're sitting in the stands,'" he said.

Cooper says Abby, "a great gal," will oblige Eli's request. "Anything for a 'W,'" Cooper told the newspaper.

The Post has another story that Eli is cheating - not on McGrew, but on Hoboken. He's apparently becoming quite the Big Apple fan - even signing "I'm Too Sexy" at karaoke bars.

Cooper, again, had the scoop for the Post.

"He's gotten into wine. He can navigate a wine list pretty good, which is pretty funny. We'll be out to eat, and he'll order some Bordeaux I've never heard of, and I'll say, 'Oh, hey hey, who's this? Look how hoity-toity,'" Cooper told the newspaper.

"He really adores New York. He is in heaven right now."

But don't worry. He may stray, but he's still a Hobokenite at heart:

To be sure, Eli mostly leads a quiet life of ordering in from his Hoboken, NJ, home. But he "really loves visiting Manhattan," particularly to eat, Cooper said.

Meanwhile, the New York Daily News reports that Eli's two playoff wins have garnered him plenty of endorsements.

Fresh off two straight playoff wins, Eli Manning is fielding numerous endorsement inquiries from national brands - and a victory Sunday will only earn him more money, experts told the Daily News.

"If the Giants win and go on to the Super Bowl, he'll be on center stage in one of the most-watched sporting events in the world," said Steven Weinreb, managing director of Steiner Sports.

He's already locked up Citizen Watch Co., Toyota of New Jersey and ESPN Radio.

For a long time it seemed like the only Manning you'd see on TV was Peyton. In fact, in two of Eli's most memorable commercials, he was a co-star with his big brother.
