Welcome to Livlife. Where I am living my life out loud, for all to read.

I just saw this article online. It is a story about the New York Giants' defensive line and the fact that they are practical jokers. The teaser mentioned something about pranking Eli Manning's wife, and I was curious so I checked it out.

 

It first talked about how many tight-knit communites pull pranks and these footballers are no exception. Then there was a quote from Eli Manning, "When someone plays a prank on me, I take it well, when those guys got the wife involved, she did not take it as well."

 

Let's start with point # 1. "The wife?"  Seriously, Eli? If I was referenced by my husband in a quote that could be in a public forum and he called me 'the wife' I'd be a wee bit annoyed. But that's just me. Though after reading the rest of the story, I am guessing that Abby Manning was pissy about it...she doesn't sound like tons of fun.

 

So now I am super curious to see how they pranked her as, according to her husband, she didn't take it well, so it must be something pretty bad or at least embarassing, right?

 

Wrong.

 

Here's the prank, taken word-for-word from the article.

 

“It was family day at the facility, where guys have their wives and kids come out to visit, and we got ahold of Eli’s phone and sent a couple of texts,” Giants guard Rich Seubert explained. “We said, ‘Please come. It would really mean a lot to me.’ So she showed up, which was a total surprise to Eli. She had some stuff to do and didn’t really want to be there, so needless to say she wasn’t thrilled.”

 

That's it?!? You sent her a text message asking her to come to family day? And she was pissed? Come on. Is this woman the biggest bitch in the world or what? Why on earth would that make you MAD? So, you had stuff to do? Great, then leave and go do it. It isn't like they locked you in a closet on family day.

 

Besides, it is family day...shouldn't she have been there anyway?

 

This was easily the most ridiculous thing I have read online today. Mostly because of Abby Manning. This prank wasn't even funny, it was just kind of blah. And she wasn't thrilled, whatever that means. Absurdity, I tell you. Where has all the humor gone?

 

Maybe I should marry Tom Brady and show 'em how a quarterback's wife should be. What do you think of that plan?
