It’s that NY love! Can you feel it?! As Derek Jeter’s career comes to an end, he’s got some advice for Eli Manning — who’s been criticized for his role in the Giant’s lackluster performances. The struggle has been real. #wahhh
Check out what The Captain had to say…
Via NFL.com:
…One online headline asked: “Is (the) curtain closing on Eli Manning’s career?”
When presented with this — the general idea of Manning and his legion of doubters — Jeter shakes his head, offers a slight chuckle. What would he say to Eli?
“Don’t read the papers, don’t listen to it. That’s the bottom line. Stay positive,” Jeter says. “That’s the only way you can deal with it. It’s tough. It’s tough to avoid it, because you’re constantly asked questions about it. So you know the angle, you know what’s being written. But you’ve got to stay positive, regardless.”
In other years, Jeter’s answer might’ve ended there. On this day, on the cusp of retirement, he adds: “And have fun, make the most of it. Careers don’t last forever. So enjoy it as much as you can.”
