EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Sean Lee Jersey Hall of Fame 50th .J. -- With the exception of a Super Bowl ring ceremony and a trip to White House, Eli Manning has put his second championship season behind him. It ended Monday when Manning and teammates showed up for voluntary off-season workouts. Its back to football. For the two-time Super Bowl MVP, that means looking for a third receiver to replace Mario Manningham, finding a backup running back to replace Brandon Jacobs and thinking about his right tackle, where the job is open with Kareem McKenzie on the free agent market. Its preparation 101, which is exactly the way Manning is approaching his upcoming appearance May 5 as the host for Saturday Night Live. In typical Manning fashion, he asked NBC for a game plan before agreeing to become the latest sports celebrity to do the show. In a wide-ranging locker room interview on Thursday, Manning said he served as a sounding board for his brother, Peyton, during his free agency, laid low the past two months to rest after a long 2011 season and his goal now is simply to get himself ready for a season in which the Giants will be hunted as the leagues defending champions. "The motivation is always trying to improve, always trying to get better, to become a better player," Manning said. "Sometimes you cant worry about winning a championship the next year. You know how difficult that is. You know a lot things have to happen, but you cant always control that. You can control making sure you are doing everything you can to be prepared, getting your workouts and being in shape doing everything you can to try to stay healthy and help your teammates be mentally ready for the season. "Right now, we are working hard and getting prepared." Manning will spent the next two weeks getting ready for 2012, and then he will start preparations for SNL, a show that has been hosted by a slew of great athletes, including his brother, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, Olympian Michael Phelps, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and NBA superstar LeBron James. "I am looking forward to it, it will be fun," said Manning, who has no acting experience. "It will be a new experience for me. Right now, I am more anxious than anything to get a feel of what I might be doing. It might be doing something a little bit out of my character or uncomfortable, but I am looking forward to just working hard that week, and having a lot of laughs and being prepared." Manning has been a fan of the show and watches it when he gets a chance. He knows a few members of the cast, but refused to say who was his favourite. "I dont want to be picking favourites right now," Manning said. "Its kind of like asking who is your favourite receiver. You can get in trouble answering those questions. Whoever can write the funniest script will be my favourite afterward." Eli said he would talk to Peyton about being the host for the show. "Before I made a decision to do this I asked for a complete schedule of whats the most I could possibly do," Manning said. "What is the most they have asked anyone to do? They sent that over and I looked at it and saw I would not miss a workout, or any meetings or team activities here. That is always what my first priority is, that I am here with the players and my teammates. "And then afterward, I can get into the city and do my preparation there." Manning even quipped he would be willing to watch videotapes to see what other athletes have done on the show. "I havent watched much film on them," Manning said. "Maybe when I get there, Ill have some cutups or some highlight reel I can look at." Manning talked to Peyton about the show, and he advised his brother when he was making his decision on free agency, eventually picking Denver. "I talked to him definitely," he said. "Were brothers. I talked to him about some of the places, or coaches or things I knew about certain offences and what not. We had several discussions with him. Its good for him to have someone to talk to and to bounce some ideas off to see if he is thinking correctly. "I am just happy he will be in uniform next year." The one topic Eli Manning was reluctant to discuss was Tim Tebow, who was acquired by the Jets. When asked if he was intrigued to see how things worked out, he sidestepped the question. "Obviously being in the same city you see what is going on and you hear things," he said. "But it obviously is not a big concern for me." NOTES: WR Victor Cruz wants a new contract but he has no intention of skipping the voluntary workouts to force a deal. GM Jerry Reese said a new contact for Cruz is one of the many things on his plate. ... CB Prince Amukamara, the teams first-round draft pick last season, had a second procedure done in the off-season on the left foot that he broke in training camp. Stem cells from his hip were injected into his foot to promote healing. ... OT Will Beatty said the detached retina that sidelined him after 10 games last season has healed. He expects to return to left tackle, which is where David Diehl finished the season. Diehl or Beatty will probably end up as the tackles, but its uncertain who will play where. Emmitt Smith Jersey .

He even fell down while throwing a pitch in the first inning on Wednesday night.PHILADELPHIA -- Dumped by Milwaukee last week, Brooks Conrad is a hit with Tampa Bay. Conrad ripped a pair of two-run doubles off winless Cliff Lee, and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 on Sunday night to complete a day-night doubleheader sweep. Conrad was released by the Brewers after going 3 for 40. The infielder was claimed by the Rays on Thursday and went 3 for 6 with five RBIs in the first weekend for his new team. Conrads two-out RBI single in the ninth on Saturday cost Jonathan Papelbon his first blown save. "Hes a very aggressive sort," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Hes also very eager to play, our type of guy." Conrad played three seasons for Atlanta before signing with Milwaukee last winter. He was most remembered for making three errors to give one game away during the 2010 NLDS against San Francisco. "When I found out where I was going, I was super excited," he said. "Every guy I talked to said how they loved playing here, and how they loved playing for Joe Maddon." Lee (0-4) allowed five runs and six hits in seven innings. The 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner hasnt won a game since last Sept. 26, or 273 days ago. Lee is making $21.5 million this year, most on the Phillies. "I definitely made some mistakes, and they made me pay for it," Lee said. In the opener Sunday, Carlos Pena hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning, and the Rays held on for a 3-2 victory. David Price became the first AL pitcher to reach 10 wins. Cole Hamels pitched three-hit ball for seven shutout innings in his first appearance against the Rays since he was the MVP of the 2008 World Series for Philadelphia. But the lefty departed after throwing 111 pitches, and Pena connected off Antonio Bastardo (2-2). Because of Fridays rainout, the Rays went with a "bullpen" game. Cesar Ramos tossed 2 2-3 hitless innings in his third career start and first since 2009. Wade Davis allowed three runs and three hits in 2 2-3 innings in relief of Ramos. Brandon Gomes (2-2) earned the win with 2 2-3 scoreless innings. The five-time defending NL East champion Phillies are 6-15 in June and they fell back into last place, a game behind Miami. The depleted Phillies should be getting some help soon. Chase Utley is scheduled to play for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, and the five-time All-Star second baseman could make his season debut this week. Utley has been sidelined because of chronic knee problems. Former NL MVP Ryan Howard is still rehabbing in extended spring training after having surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon last year. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Roy Halladay hasnt pitched since May 27 because of a lat injury. Lee hasnt received much run support this season. He couldnt even get a win when he threw 10 scoreless innings at San Francisco on April 18. But he has also blown three three-run leads. In his last seven starts, Lee has a 5.10 ERA. Sean Rodriguez hit an RBI double off Lee to put the Rays up 1-0 in the second. Conrad followed by hitting a 3-0 pitch down the left-field line to score twoo and make it 3-0. Tony Romo Jersey. Placido Polanco hit an RBI double, and John Mayberry Jr. followed with a run-scoring single to get the Phillies within 3-2 in the fourth. Lee retired the first two batters in the sixth before Ben Zobrist singled and Rodriguez walked. Conrad then hit a double off the top of the fence in right-centre to give the Rays a 5-2 lead. Rodriguez knocked over catcher Brian Schneider at home, and Schneider left the game with a right ankle sprain. Polancos RBI double in the sixth cut it to 5-3, but the Phillies couldnt score him from third with no outs. The Rays scored two insurance runs in the eighth when B.J. Rosenberg walked four batters. Jake Diekman came in and walked in a run. Price (10-4) went seven innings in Game 1 and gave up four hits, including Jimmy Rollins homer in the sixth. "I try to treat every start the same, but whenever youre facing somebody who is one of their top guys, it definitely heightens your sense of awareness," Price said. "You know you cant go six and give up three." Phillies manager Charlie Manuel became testy with the media when questioned about lifting Hamels for Bastardo, as well as explaining his late-game pinch-hitting decisions. "Thats our eighth-inning guy," Manuel said of Bastardo. "I think right now, what you see is the pitchers that we have. Thats the ones that we have in our minor leagues and up here. Thats what it is." "You guys ought to sit in the dugout with me and give me all the scenarios," Manuel added. "I dont think we know them. I mean, we dont know how to manage the game. Like really, I think you should sit down there with us or tweet us (strategy) or something." A duel between two of the top left-handers in the major leagues shaped up from the start. Price trailed 1-0 before the Rays rallied. Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless ninth for his 21st save in 22 chances. Rollins reached second base with two outs after a single and stolen base, but Rodney struck out Hunter Pence swinging to end the game. Hamels was 1-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two starts against Tampa Bay in 2008 when the Phillies won their title. He pitched even better on Sunday. Bastardo walked two of the first three batters he faced. Pena hit the first pitch over the fence in right field. NOTES: Lee is the only pitcher in the majors this season with at least 10 starts and no wins. ... Jim Thome, pinch-hitting for the Phillies in the eighth in Game 1, was intentionally walked to tie Mickey Mantle for seventh place on the career list with 1,733 walks. ... Hamels fanned seven to tie Hall of Famer Jim Bunning for sixth place on the Phillies career strikeout list with 1,197. ... The Phillies sellout streak is up to 257 straight games, counting post-season play. ... The Rays open a three-game series at Kansas City on Monday night with RHP Alex Cobb (3-3, 3.82 ERA) scheduled to face Royals RHP Luke Hochevar (4-7, 5.65). ... Philadelphia hosts the Pirates on Monday night for the first of four when RHP Joe Blanton (6-6, 5.04) faces LHP Erik Bedard (4-7, 4.13). ' ' ' |
